Oasis Live '25 Review: A Gallagher Reunion and a Great British Fantasy
Briefly

Oasis performed their first show in 16 years, igniting nostalgia with a mosh pit that filled Principality Stadium. Liam Gallagher's performance was praised, and the show was hailed as the best since the mid-'90s. With 14 million ticket requests, the reunion tour is expected to be historically profitable. Cities transformed into themed experiences, featuring quirky promotions. Merch stalls attracted fans in vintage clothing, encapsulating the enduring impact of Oasis culture and their music on British society.
The first Oasis show in 16 years starts with "Hello," amid scenes consistent with a riot. A continuous mosh pit thrashes through the center of Principality Stadium, from front to back and up into the stalls.
Some 14 million people tried to buy tickets for the reunion tour, likely to be the most profitable in British history. One in 200 of them made it to Cardiff.
The London Dungeon will offer free eyebrow waxing in a "Gallagher Grooming Gauntlet." A Manchester Aldi supermarket has been renamed "Aldeh," honoring the Gallagher brogue.
Lines snake along the main strip and into side alleys where men in vintage tees bellow "Live Forever," pints aloft.
