In Pictures: Oasis fans in Cardiff sunshiiine for first reunion tour gig
The PA news agency is in the Welsh capital along with tens of thousands of the Britpop band's fans soaking up the atmosphere.
Some fans gathered at and took pictures of the Wonder Wall – a mural by Welsh artist Nathan Wyburn made out of 3,000 black and white bucket hats depicting Liam and Noel Gallagher.
Tonight's gig has been 16 years in the making. Many fans feared it would never come because of Liam and Noel's stormy relationship.
And the wait has been so long that some of the band's younger fans are seeing them for the first time on this tour.
With a penchant for parkas and bucket hats, many fans have been eager to join in with the band's distinct sense of fashion and style.
Some even took it a step further by imitating Liam's look completely.
Fans have come from far and wide to see their idols in Cardiff.
Huge sums of money have already been made from ticket sales alone. And this will be bolstered further when sales of merchandise are factored in.

Tom Cruise spotted enjoying a night out at Oasis' Wembley gig after scoring 'HUGE number of tickets' for his pals
has been spotted enjoying a night out on Friday at Oasis' Wembley concert after he managed to bag a 'huge number of tickets' for his pals. The Mission Impossible star, 63, was among a number of famous faces in the crowd, turning up to watch Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite on stage in front of 90,000 fans. He was seen in the seated section, keeping things low-key as he enjoyed the show alongside DJ Goldie, who later shared a selfie with the actor during the set. Tom, who appeared to attended the concert without 'new love' Ana De Armas, gave a thumbs-up in the snap as he enjoyed the electric atmosphere of the long-awaited gig. It comes after it was reported that Tom was expected to attend Friday's concert, after he was spotted at Oasis' set during Glastonbury last year. And while millions of fans scrambled for tickets to the reunion - many limited to just four per person - the Hollywood star reportedly pulled some strings, according to the Mirror. It's said that Tom managed to secure up to 20 tickets so he could bring a group of friends along for the night. A source close to the band told the publication: 'Tom is excited to see the gig, and his friends were thrilled he was able to offer them tickets too. 'They are hard for even the biggest and richest people to secure. 'He is taking up to 20 people with him, and must be one of the few people on this tour who will be able to attend with such a big group.' MailOnline has contacted Tom's representative for comment. The following day, Oasis returned to the stage for the second night of their run at the iconic Wembley Stadium. Among the crowd this time were none other than Dua Lipa and her fiancé, Callum Turner, who were spotted singing along to the band's biggest hits. Noel Gallagher's daughter, Anaïs, shared an Instagram clip from the concert, capturing the loved-up couple looking happier than ever. Oasis made a long-awaited return to London on Friday, playing their first gig in the city in over 16 years. Following a series of homecoming shows at Manchester's Heaton Park, the rock legends, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, took to the stage at Wembley Stadium. With five nights scheduled, the band shared door and stage times on their Instagram, providing fans with an hour-by-hour breakdown. Gates open at 5pm, followed by support acts Cast at 6pm and singer Richard Ashcroft at 7pm. Oasis then headline with a two-hour set starting at 8:15pm. The band kicked off their Oasis Live '25 world tour on July 4 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, earning five-star reviews from The Guardian, The Telegraph, and The Times. The group has also dominated the UK album charts, with three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company. While fans were excited at the reunion, some were outraged after some standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing. After their final London gig on August 3, the group will move north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium before performing at Dublin's Croke Park. The band will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. Formed in Manchester in 1991, the band was led by lead guitarist Noel and lead vocalist Liam during their 18 years together. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994. They had hits with songs including Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Live Forever. Dig Out Your Soul, the band's last studio album, was released in 2008, just months before the Paris row.
