Oasis reunites onstage for the first time in 16 years

Don’t look back in anger.

Oasis has officially reunited for its first performance in 16 years – marking the first time brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have shared the same stage since their infamous feud broke the beloved group apart back in 2009.

The legendary English rockers took the stage to kick off their Oasis Live ’25 Tour in Cardiff, Wales, on Friday, July 4.

Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, reportedly started the highly anticipated show at 8:15 p.m. local time, and photos from the long-awaited concert showed the brothers jamming along together to Oasis’ biggest hits.

Fans who didn’t have the chance to see the band’s first performance in 16 years rushed to social media to celebrate the momentous concert that was nearly two decades in the making.

“This is history,” one person tweeted alongside a photo of Liam and Noel raising their hands together onstage.

“All I can say is AMEN,” added another excited fan.

“A sight I never thought I’d see again,” commented a third, while a fourth fan said that they were “sobbing” over the band’s reunion.

Although the “Wonderwall” group had seemingly disbanded in August 2009 following a backstage fight between Liam and Noel, the pair’s rocky relationship dates all the way back to the band’s beginning in 1991.

While the brothers butted heads several times, and Noel briefly quit Oasis on at least two occasions in 1994 and again in 2000, it wasn’t until 2009 that he appeared to walk away for good.

“It is with some sadness and great relief … I quit Oasis tonight,” Noel announced after the Rock en Seine festival in Aug. 2009. “People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”

Still, both brothers continued to perform music in new bands that they formed after the shocking Oasis breakup.

Noel formed Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in 2010, and the project’s lineup included several former Oasis members – including guitarist Gem Archer, keyboardist Mike Rowe and drummer Chris Sharrock.

Meanwhile, Liam created the band Beady Eye, which, surprisingly, also included Archer and Sharrock. Beady Eye ultimately disbanded in 2014, and Liam continued a successful solo career on his own.

Then, in Aug. 2024, Oasis shocked fans by announcing that the band would reunite for a world tour.

“There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion—just the gradual realization that the time is right,” the band said in a statement at the time. “Yet the timing must be a subconscious influence.”

“This Thursday represents 30 years to the day since their electrifying debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’ was released, while 2025 will see the equally essential second record ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?’ reach that same anniversary.”

“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over,” Noel added. “Come see. It will not be televised.”

Liam took to X last month to announce that the “Champagne Supernova” group had successfully met for its first rehearsal.

“We have LIFT OFF Rastas sounded f–king FILTHY,” he shared on June 3. “I’ll tell thee that there for hardly anything.”

After several dates in Britain and Ireland, the Oasis Live ’25 Tour will hit North America and open in Toronto on Aug. 24.

Besides Liam and Noel, the band’s current lineup also includes Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker.

Music industry experts told The Post that the once-feuding brothers will make at least $200 million from their reunion tour thanks to a lucrative deal with Live Nation and a multimillion-dollar contract with Adidas.
