Noel and Liam made their long awaited return to the stage, playing a whopping 23 songs from their impressive back catalogue including Roll With It, Stand By Me, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger.
The former feuding brothers walked out on stage with their arms raised together.
Body language expert Judi James said this was a "celebratory ritual that suggested an air of sibling peace and harmony".
"Analysis of the ritual is fascinating. It's Liam who has grabbed Noel's wrist to raise their arms, suggesting he's the one wanting to push the idea that they're reunited for real," Judi told the Mirror.
"He also places a confident and controlling hand onto Noel's shoulder, raising his maracas in the air in what looks like a V sign to signal victory."
The expert also pointed out a moment where Noel took a moment to take everything in while performing Half The World Away.
Judi explained: "He looks like a man holding his breath like the rest of the fans in the hope that the sibling bonds hold firm this time and they get through their tour in a state of (almost) total harmony."
Noel's 25-year-old daughter Anais was in the crowds as she rocked out to her uncle and dad's numerous hit tracks.
She posted a photo of herself having a smashing time with a pint in her hand and donning a blue Oasis shirt.
The model and photographer captioned the photo: "It's good to be back."
Noel Gallagher's ex-wife Meg Matthews spotted at Oasis comeback gig
Anais' mother Meg Mathews, who was married to Noel from 1997 until 2001, was also present at the concert.
But Meg reportedly "walked out" of the band's comeback gig - just moments before "her song" was played
Along with die hard Oasis fans, celebrities turned up in the masses to see the iconic band return to the stage to sing 23 of their best loved tunes.
One person who made sure they were there was Noel's ex-wife Meg.
The socialite has been a big supporter of Oasis' comeback, so she was there to show her support on the tour's first night.
A source told The Mirror: "After posting about her ex-husband for weeks, Meg Mathews had a prime seat for watching the band.
"She was in great spirits before the set, watching Richard Ashcroft with pals."
However, after Oasis' two hour set the band came back with a three song encore which included Don't Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova.
The Mirror reports that it was at this moment Meg decided to "walk out" and leave the gig.
Hardcore fans will remember that Noel actually wrote Wonderwall for Meg, when they were together.
GIG OF THE CENTURY
It's fair to say last night's Oasis comeback did NOT disappoint.
Fans were treated to performances by Cast, a Britpop band from Liverpool, and The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft before the Gallagher brothers made their long awaited return to the stage.
Oasis proved they were worth the 16 year wait, playing a whopping 23 songs from their impressive back catalogue including Roll With It, Stand By Me, and Talk Tonight.
Before Cigarettes & Alcohol Liam dished out orders to the crowd, saying: 'I want you to do us a favour. I don't ask much.
'I want you to turn around, every single one of you
'Put your arms around each other like you like each other and when the tune starts you jump up and down.
'Its f***ing easy.'
After last night's gig, Oasis play another night in Cardiff before moving on to Heaton Park in their native Manchester for five nights.
Then the band heads to Wembley Stadium for five nights from July 25 and then on to Edinburgh and Dublin, with the first part of their UK leg ending at Croke Park on August 17.
Oasis then heads over Canada and America for gigs in Toronto, Chicago, LA and Mexico City before returning to London for two more dates at Wembley at the end of September.
They then move on to Asia, Australia and South America, finally ending their tour on November 23 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Noel Gallagher discloses true reason for Oasis reunion during night two of emotional Cardiff gig

Oasis' Noel Gallagher has revealed who was behind him finally ending his bitter feud with brother Liam Gallagher. The Gallagher brothers have spilled the beans on the true catalyst for Oasis' much-anticipated reunion. At their second gig at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Noel Gallagher opened up about settling his infamous row with sibling Liam Gallagher. Oasis fever has once again gripped the nation, yet not so long ago, the prospect of witnessing Noel and Liam together on stage seemed a distant dream after a heated dispute in 2009. ‌ Last year's shock announcement that they would be reuniting arrived a whole 15 years since Noel left the Mancunian ensemble, citing he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer". ‌ This followed an altercation backstage at Paris's Rock en Seine festival. But while performing on Saturday, July 5, Noel appeared visibly moved as he reunited under the lights with his brother. On the encore of their second evening, Noel paused to pay homage to Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, announcing: "On guitar, if it wasn't for him, none of this would have happened!" Striding onto the stage with typical confidence, Noel and Liam greeted fans at Cardiff's Principality Stadium last Friday, embarking on the first leg of their highly anticipated global revival tour, reports the Mirror. With no sign of the animosity that marked their split back in 2009, the brothers dived into their playlist starting strong with 'Hello' from their seminal album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? At their much-awaited reunion gig, the lead vocalist extended apologies to fans for the long hiatus. Speaking multiple times during their set, Liam addressed the crowd with: "Hello people, it's been too long," ahead of their nail their third song, (What's the Story). ‌ As they prepped to belt out Cigarettes And Alcohol, Liam urged the audience to share a moment of unity, suggesting fans hug someone new. His call to action was: "Right then beautiful people, I want to see you all turn around and put your arms round each other. And when the tune starts, jump up and f****** down." ‌ Both bandmates didn't miss the chance to jest about the contentious dynamic pricing debacle that had previously left fans in annoyance as ticket prices seemingly spiked from £148 to £355. This furor prompted government intervention and a commitment from the UK's competition authorities to scrutinise the use of dynamic pricing strategies. Following Roll With It, as Liam made an exit from stage, Noel stepped into the vocalist role. He humorously commented on what he believed the concert's price tag should be, quipping: "It's just gone up." ‌ Later on, Liam chimed in with a satirical remark about the cost of attendance, asking the fans: "Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?" Towards the climax of Live Forever, an image of Diogo Jota, the Liverpool footballer who tragically passed away in a car crash last Thursday, was projected, prompting a heartfelt round of cheers and applause from the audience. As they launched into the crowd-pleaser Champagne Supernova for their final performance of the night, the lead singer addressed the audience saying: "Right you beautiful people, this is it. Nice one for putting up with us over the years, we know we've been difficult. Champagne Supernova, nice one." ‌ The Gallagher brothers maintained a professional distance on stage throughout the concert, but allowed themselves a fleeting moment of connection with a quick high-five and a half-embrace post their last song. Support acts for Oasis included the fellow quintessential 90s ensemble Cast and Richard Ashcroft, once the face of The Verve. Cast, hialing from Liverpool, gave a nod to Jota, too, dedicating their smash Walkaway in his honour. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Liam and Noel Gallagher put on two unforgettable performances at the Principality Stadium on Friday and Saturday which have earned huge plaudits from fans and critics alike, with worldwide publications giving the concert five stars. Away from the stadium itself, you couldn't walk through the streets without reminders of the gigs themselves, with wall murals, traders selling bucket hats and tambourines, pubs blasting out the greatest hits, and even an official store at St David's Shopping Centre. And at the Tramshed, there was a special fan exhibition of some of the most iconic items and memorabilia that have defined the history of Oasis. Among them was Noel's famous Union Jack epiphone sheraton electric guitar, which became a symbol of British music in the mid 1990s. It became particularly iconic after Noel played it at Oasis's gigs at Maine Road in 1996. Liam's iconic Emporio Armani jacket worn in the 1995 Wonderwall video was there, as was his sheepskin coat worn at the 1996 Brit awards.

It featured in the videos of Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova and Roll With It. The original, handwritten lyrics were also on display in a glass cabinet from some of Oasis's greatest songs, including Don't Look Back In Anger, Stand By Me, and Champagne Supernova.

Some of Liam's famous tambourines were on display in framed cases, as were band itineraries and programmes from previous tours. Oasis next head home to Heaton Park in Manchester, where they will play five gigs from Friday, July 11. The exhibition will be set up there, and at the other locations of their gigs. The original handwritten lyric for Don't Look Back in Anger (Image: WalesOnline ) The lyrics Noel wrote for Champagne Supernova (Image: WalesOnline ) Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot. Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly.

Oasis fan rages as she shares clip of dozens of concert goers SAT DOWN during Cardiff night two and quips: 'This is who you lost your ticket to!'

An Oasis fan raged as she shared a clip of dozens of concert-goers sat down during the second night of the band's shows in Cardiff. Noel and Liam Gallagher made their epic return to live performing together this weekend in scenes been described as 'biblical' by devoted fans. But one clip shared by fan Laura Bradshaw showed a host of people blankly staring ahead and sitting down as the duo sang their hit Cast No Shadow on Saturday night. As she scanned the crowd many appeared to be taking the opportunity of a slower song to have a rest and sit down. She penned over the top of her video: 'Why is everyone sat down - this is who you lost tickets to btw', along with a crying face emoji. She divided fans in the comments as some agreed with her, saying: 'why is no one singing!', 'I wasn't sat down. Stood up singing loud and proud as everyone should have been for the struggle it was to get tickets.', 'Real fans of oasis missed out so people can come and sit down at a concert.', 'WHY IS IT SO QUIET.', 'we were in seats on the left side and we all stood up for the entire gig!' Other disagreed as the replied in the comments: 'Because they're original fans and our backs are shot to pieces.', 'I would be seating too - appreciating and taking it all in. Standing and jumping about isn't the only way to enjoy it.', 'What are they meant to do, it's difficult to dance to Cast no shadow.', 'Because standing up at a gig has no bearing on my of how much of a fan you are?' It comes after another Oasis fan went viral after she was spotted having to use app Shazam to identify 'one of the greatest songs of all time' during the band's opening gig in Cardiff on Friday. More than 75,000 fans watched history be made as Noel, 58, and Liam, 52, appeared for the first time on stage together in 16 years at at the Principality Stadium She penned over the top of her video: 'Why is everyone sat down - this is who you lost tickets to btw', along with a crying face emoji She divided fans in the comments as some agreed with her, saying: 'why is no one singing!' Other disagreed as the replied in the comments: 'Because they're original fans and our backs are shot to pieces!' But when Richard Ashcroft, 53, opening for the once warring brother's and sang his iconic hit 1997 Bitter Sweet Symphony, one woman in the crowd appeared have never heard of it. In a clip shared to TikTok as former The Verve frontman performed the track and thousands sang along, the concertgoer turned to her phone in order to identify the tune which Rolling Stone named as one of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Captioning the clip: 'Imagine not knowing the greatest song of all time' others rushed to the comments to slam the woman who they did not believe truly deserved the much sought after ticket. They fumed: 'Seriously! I couldn't get a ticket because of these people': 'This is the people who got our tickets': 'this is who i lost my tickets too': 'And there's real fans from the 90's that couldn't get tickets': 'If you don't know bittersweet symphony we can't be friends': 'nah there's no way i lost tickets to someone shazaming one of the most popular songs of the britpop era'. It comes after the crowd were blown away by Oasis' reunion as they delivered an electrifying set, packed with energy and nostalgia. Taking to social media to share their reactions, many lauded it as 'greatest rock n roll show of all time' as they praised the 'momentous' occasion. Comments included: 'LIAM SOUNDS SO F****G GOOD!!! OASIS ARE BACK. THIS IS BETTER THAN JESUS' RETURN!!!'; 'I died and ascended to a new plane'; 'The birth of my daughter 4 months ago was the best day of my life. tonight became the second best night of my life.

Just, mega. #oasislive25'; 'Anyone with tickets for #oasislive25 you are in for an absolute treat. I've never seen them so on form and it was banger after banger. Roll on Saturday at Heaton Park.' Kicking off the show, Liam and Noel walked out with their arms around each other in a sweet display of unity, before they proudly gazed on at the crowds, who erupted into rounds of deafening applause. As the masses gathered on Friday, Liam said: 'Manchester vibes in the area,' before he kicked off the show with Hello, which served as the opening track for their 1995 classic 'What's The Story (Morning Glory). They then went into Acquiesce - a song from their first 1995 album, which was followed by the iconic Morning Glory - the titular song of the second studio album. Liam shouted out: 'Yes beautiful people! It's been too long.' He then ordered the crowd to 'turn around and bounce' ahead of Cigarettes and Alcohol. After performing Some Might Say, Bring It On Down and Fade Away, Liam went off for a rest, while Noel performed his acoustic version of Talk Tonight. Then Noel appeared emotional as he performed Half The World Away and even stopped singing for a few bars at one point. Liam later said: 'Are you having a good time?' before addressing the ticket chaos: 'Was it worth the £4,000 you paid for the ticket.' Tickets were meant to start at £74.25 for seated tickets at their Wembley shows, with the most expensive ticket being a £506.25 pre-show party. Throughout their various sets, poignant pictures of the family's home in Manchester flashed up on the screen along with baby pictures of both brothers. Old black and white pictures of their mum Peggy and dad Tommy were also flashed in the screen from time to time as Stand By Me played. The brothers ended the show with Rock 'N' Roll Star, but fans cheers for an encore, with the pair strolling back out, with two of their fan favourite hits still to come. The crowds went wild as they belted out Wonderwall and the brothers became very emotional as they began to close down the show. 'Thanks for putting up with us over the years. We're hard work. We get it,' Liam gushed. They then rounded off their first gig in 16 years with legendary track Champagne Supernova.
