Cardiff (R.unido), (EFE) .- The British rock band Oasis extended its legend this Friday and ratified its return to the stage 16 years after its separation with a historical concert compared to about 75,000 spectators in the Welsh city of Cardiff.
His imposing mainity stadium witnessed the start of the expected meeting tour
Shortly before 20:15 British time (19:15 GMT), the stadium stood up and began to go crazy to see movement on stage and perceive like Noel, dressed as a cowgilling shirt, accessed first from the bambalins. A few steps back, Liam, with a hooded jacket, kissed the woman who accompanied him, before climbing.
It was then that the most anticipated moment was given. The lights went out and the screens showed an equalizer, followed by a succession of news and publications in various languages that talked about the rumors of the band meeting over the years.
“The biggest musical meeting in decades will finally happen,” read one of the texts. And seconds later, the great moment happened. The Gallagher brothers made their stellar appearance caught from the shoulder and buried the war ax symbolically raising their hands, but that was the only mutual interaction of both in the whole night.
How could it be otherwise, they chose ‘Hello’ to greet their audiences and stanzas such as “it will never be the same, until the life I knew comes to my house and tells me Hello” they acquired a new meaning in the voice and the guitar rags of the Gallagher, taking into account their long history of disputes.
“The problem Oasis had is that there were two people competing for the Prime Minister. That tension, that antagonism that led the band, ended up killing it”; The musical journalist Paolo Hewitt affirmed in the documentary ‘Oasis: Supersonic’ (2016).
In the mainity Stadium, Liam resumed his role as ‘frontman’ of the band with his traditional diagonal pose, eating the micro, with his hands behind his back and demonstrating his vocal solvency; While Noel, the compositional brain behind the great hits of Oasis, remained a few meters away, guitar in hand and doing the choirs most of the nearly two hours that the performance lasted.

A nostalgic repertoire
The repertoire, of 23 songs, was mainly plagued by themes of his first albums, especially of his summit album, ‘(What´s The Story) Morning Glory’ (1995), which turns 30 this 2025, and performed ‘Acquiesce’, ‘Som Might say’ or ‘Cast Not Shadow’ for the first time since the beginning of the decade of the decade of the 2000s.
In the hours before the concert, in the streets of Cardiff a halo of nostalgia and community enlivened with the most mythical themes of Oasis could be perceived in the pubs adjacent to the stadium, and this feeling also moved to the interior of the enclosure, including the openings: the exvocalist of The Verve, Richard Ashcroft and Cast, nicknamed as the “The Who of the 90”.
Nostalgic was also the moment in which Liam left the stage and Noel made the first intervention of the night to sing, alone with the guitar, ‘Talk Tonight’, how emulating the fateful concert that inspires the song, that of 1994 in Los Angeles in which the old Methaphetamine, a tambourine to the face.
Today the ‘Frontman’ Mancuniano has repeated the feat, but this time the launch of the instrument has been to the public during ‘Rock N´ Roll Star’, just after starring in one of the most emotional moments of the night, when Oasis has dedicated his precious ‘Live Forever’ (he always lives) to the Portuguese footballer of the Liverpool Digo Jota, who died this July 3 in a traffic accident in Zamora (Spain) To his brother.
Preceded by a brief recess, the band saved their greatest hymns for their final bis, where Noel gave to the public of the stadium the opportunity to shout the chorus of ‘Don´t Look Back in Anger’ and both put the meat on the grill with the memorable ‘Wonderwall’.
With ‘Champagne Supernova’, Oasis decorchad his final traca and his intention to continue being “the best band in the world.” Is this your definitive return or the egos of the Gallagher will once again get in their way? They already said in their origins, ‘definitely, perhaps’.
