Oasis are back,and their first tour in 16 years continues its monumental run in London tonight.
Noel Gallagher,58,and younger brother Liam Gallagher,52,hadn’t performed together since their 2009 split,meaning the world was,quite literally,sent into a frenzy last August when they confirmed the guns had ‘fallen silent’.
After a lengthy wait,the siblings kicked off their string of sold-out reunion shows at Principality Stadium in Cardiff,Wales,with Noel Gallagher reduced to ‘tears’ by the iconic moment.
They have since performed in Manchester before making their way to the capital,stunning fans with a touching tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at their Wembley show following his death,aged 72.
With an international tour following their sold-out UK run,we’re certain Oasis Live ’25 has got plenty to give.
So,what songs are on the setlist and what time do they hit the stage?

Like old times?’To this Liam replied with his regret: ‘You know what it’s spiritual but I can’t help think about all those wasted years what a waste of PRECIOUS time.’Can I get last minute Oasis tickets tonight?
For those gutted to have missed out on tickets,have no fear,because after a disastrous first sale,the group announced that more tickets could become available.
‘Oasis promoters may be able to release a very limited number of additional tickets for sale once final sight lines are checked and the production is fine tuned,’ a statement read.
‘These final production releases will happen over the coming days. If you are an Oasismynet member,keep an eye on your inbox for an email from your regular Oasismynet or Ticketmaster correspondence address.
‘Please double check the email is from the correct account before following links or sharing any purchase information.’
The brothers’ mum,Peggy,also recently shared her instrumental part in their reunion.
She told Ireland’s Mail on Sunday newspaper: ‘I was the instigator,yes. But sure,wasn’t it always going to happen at some time or other?
‘It was their choice,of course. Look you can’t force them to do things they don’t want to do.
‘You just have to say,“Get on with it” and I said that.’
It’s believed Oasis will generate a whopping £400million in ticket sales and add-ons,just from their initial dates.
As for their take-home pay,Noel and Liam are thought to be getting £50million each.
It comes as Paul Gallagher,the older brother of Noel and Liam,has been charged with rape and other sex offences.’
According to The Telegraph,he is accused of rape as well as sexual assault,coercive control and making threats to kill.
Gallagher,59,is due to appear in court next month over the offences,which are said to date from 2022 to 2024,relating to one woman.
