Well slap my tambourine and call me Bonehead – it’s actually happening. Oasis have only gone and reunited, and where did they choose to rip the plaster off? CARDIFF, MUN! 🏟️🔥
After 5,795 days (that’s 15 years, 10 months, and a shedload of passive-aggressive tweets), the Gallagher brothers finally parked the beef long enough to detonate the Principality Stadium with a comeback gig that was louder than your da’s snoring during Antiques Roadshow.
🎤 “IS ANYONE MAD FER IT?!” – Liam, probably, to a sea of pint-wielding maniacs
We were there. We saw it. We still can’t hear properly. From the second Liam swaggered out looking like a wounded owl in a parka, the place went absolutely tonto. Noel followed, looking like a divorced geography teacher who’s just discovered riffs again, and together they delivered a biblical Britpop battering to 75,000 delirious fans.
It was like watching your parents renew their vows at Glastonbury… while setting fire to your childhood bedroom. Emotional, chaotic, and somehow… lush.
🧨 THE SETLIST THAT COULD RAISE THE DEAD:
They didn’t mess about. No filler. All killer. Here’s a few bangers they unleashed on the Cardiff crowd like musical molotovs:
- Rock ‘n’ Roll Star – and every person there believed they were one.
- Morning Glory – sounded like it was hurled from a mountaintop by the gods of Britpop.
- Supersonic – so loud it reset a few pacemakers.
- Some Might Say – we cried, sang, and headbutted the air.
- Live Forever – mate, if this song doesn’t make your soul vibrate, check your pulse.
- Wonderwall – obviously. Everyone. Knew. Every. Word.
- Champagne Supernova – 9 minutes of spiritual rebirth in a sweaty stadium.
AND THEN – surprise treats like Talk Tonight and Acquiesce for the proper anoraks in the crowd. Tidy!
🤯 CROWD REPORT: “I WAS WEEPING INTO MY GREGGS SAUSAGE ROLL!”
Honestly, the place was like a karaoke night in Valhalla. Some fans were emotional. Others were shirtless by song three. One lad near us screamed:
“I’VE BEEN WAITING FIFTEEN BLOODY YEARS FOR THIS AND NOW I’VE LOST MY VOICE AND MY WIFE!”
Another was sobbing into his pint and muttered:
“This is better than the birth of my first child.”
There was laughter, lighters, lager, and Liam calling someone a “potato-flavoured balloon” – we’re not sure why, but it felt right. 🍟🎈
🍺 LIAM’S CARDIFF PUB CRAWL – SPOTTED!
Word on the cobbled streets is that Liam popped into a Cardiff boozer earlier in the day for a cheeky pint. Rumours he ordered a Brains Dark and yelled “Who the f**k put curry on my chips?” remain unconfirmed. But one thing’s for sure – the man is a living meme with sideburns.
🧳 WHAT’S NEXT? TOUR MADNESS CONTINUES!
Tonight was just Night One of Chaos. The Oasis reunion train is hurtling across the UK with the subtlety of a stampeding sheep. If you’ve got tickets, we envy you. If not… prepare to sell a kidney on Depop or do some light insurance fraud.
They might fall out again by Birmingham – so soak it up while you can!
📸 RIFF REPORT RUNDOWN:
✅ Band tensions? Still there – but funny now
✅ Crowd volume? Louder than a dragon’s fart
✅ Merch prices? Silly, but take our money anyway
✅ Energy? Like 1996 was reborn, but with more back pain
✅ Overall verdict? ABSOLUTE SCENES. 11/10. WOULD MOSH AGAIN.
