A fan was swiftly taken out of Oasis' reunion concert in Cardiff tonight on a stretcher after falling ill.
The much-anticipated reunion gig saw Noel and Liam Gallagher share the stage for the first time in 16 years, but the event was marred by an incident in the crowd when one unwell fan required medical attention.
A medical emergency unfolded amongst the audience, resulting in one individual being carried away on a stretcher. An eyewitness reported seeing a concert-goer being escorted out by medical personnel, with others making way for their exit.
The woman requiring medical assistance was guided across the front of the stage in the pit area, right next to the barrier. This occurred during the band's performance of 'D'You Know What I Mean', just before they launched into 'Stand By Me'.
This is the first Oasis gig in several years, following a well-publicised fallout between the Gallagher brothers. Now reunited, the band is preparing for a massive global tour, leaving fans thrilled to see them performing together again.

"A new generation recognises how Oasis wasn't manufactured. It was chaotic, and flawed, and not technically brilliant.
We were rough and ready guys from a rehearsal room, and people recognised it," he said, "I didn't invent anything. I had good taste in music, a cool record collection, I could write a melody simple enough to make it work, and it was 50% inspiration and 50% copying."

Discussing the qualities of a great frontman in a separate conversation, Liam remarked: "I mean being able to sing is good. Just getting on with your job and doing it, and trying to get a vibe going and looking cool."
However, a devoted Oasis fan revealed that she had sold her ticket to their opening gig after taking offence to a comment made by Liam. The controversy erupted when Liam used a racial slur on X, prompting one person to respond with: "Liam, you can't say that."
Liam subsequently deleted the tweet and issued an apology for any offence caused, stating: "Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn't intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. Peace and love LG x".

Despite his apology, the fan decided to sell her ticket, having previously been a huge fan since 2017. She explained that Oasis' music had been a vital part of her adolescence, helping her through life's challenges.
Nevertheless, she felt compelled to take a stand against Liam's comment, stating: "But I kind of stopped being a fan two days ago because what Liam said is completely not acceptable. As an Asian and as a Chinese person I could not deal with it just by keeping silent and accepting what he was saying. I just can't participate in that anymore. Otherwise it will be disrespectful for my own community where I come from."

Noel Gallagher's ex-wife Meg Matthews ‘walks out' of Oasis comeback gig – just moments before ‘her song' is played
NOEL Gallagher's ex-wife Meg Matthews "walked out" of last night's Oasis comeback gig - just moments before "her song" was played Noel, 58, and his brother Liam, 56, shared the stage for the first time in 16 years tonight at Cardiff's Principality Stadium - and his former missus was there to watch him. 8 8 8 8 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 former couple were married from 1996 before divorcing four years later. The socialite, who he shares his beloved daughter Anais with, has been a big supporter of Oasis' comeback, so she was there to show her support on the tour's first night. She was spotted arriving at the gig in Cardiff in "good spirits", as she took her seat with friends. 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. Oasis kick off historic reunion tour as Noel & Liam reunite for first show in Cardiff Speaking about his then-girlfriend back in 1996, the rock said: "It's about my girlfriend, Meg Mathews. "She had a company which folded and she was feeling a bit sorry for herself. "The sentiment is that there was no point in her feeling down, she has to sort my life out for me because I'm in bits had the time." 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. Oasis kick off historic reunion tour as Noel & Liam reunite for first show in Cardiff 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.

‘Magically, exhaustingly uplifting': what the papers say about Oasis
Even the most optimistic fans had begun to suspect Oasis would never go on stage again, given that as recently as January 2024, in this newspaper, Liam was pacing around slagging off his brother at considerable length. But the Oasis reunion did indeed come to pass, and the reaction has universally been one of wonderment. You'd expect that from fans – if you ended up spending north of £300 on a dynamically priced ticket, you'd decide you were going to have fun – but critics have also been united in their praise. ★★★★★ 'You can still sense inspiration declining – 1997's D'You Know What I Mean? sounds like a trudge regardless of how many people are singing along – but far more often, the show serves as a reminder of how fantastic purple patch Oasis were,' the Guardian's Alexis Petridis said in a five-star review. 'Against a ferocious wall of distorted guitars, there's a weird disconnect between the tone of Noel's songs – wistful, noticeably melancholy – and the way Liam sings them like a man seething with frustration, on the verge of offering someone a fight. Even discounting half their career, they have classics in abundance: Cigarettes & Alcohol, Slide Away, Rock 'n' Roll Star, Morning Glory. ★★★★★ The set took on extra resonance given everything that has happened since [Oasis's split in 2009]. Noel may have once called Liam a man with a fork in a world of soup, and Liam accused Noel of being a potato, but Acquiesce is a song about the fact that they 'need each other' — and they do. Noel has a soul complex enough to write beautiful songs. Liam has a soul simple enough to deliver them with pure feeling. They are, ultimately, stuck with each other … As for Supersonic, the song that started it all, it encapsulated everything the Gallaghers evoked, perhaps without even realising it: attitude, surrealism, familiarity, the madness of the everyday. ★★★★★ Stop the clocks, the stars really did align, because yes, Oasis are back - and they've just reclaimed their crown as rock'n'roll stars. You can throw as many cliches as you like at this show and it still wouldn't quite sum up what the 60,000-plus fans cramming into the Principality Stadium in Cardiff saw, heard and felt, on Friday night. It was biblical, celestial, majestical – all of the superlatives that Liam likes to self-anoint himself with. But on this occasion, it was no hyperbole … I think it's the first time I've seen a mosh pit stretch to the entire floor and right up into the seats such was the constant bouncing energy of an elated crowd not quite believing this was really happening, and that they were really here. ★★★★★ As the flares light up for Don't Look Back In Anger into the spoils of colossal closers Wonderwall and an everlasting Champagne Supernova, the sweet escape comes to an end. Lord knows we needed a taste of that halcyon 90s hope and abandon in 2025 – especially for the raving and craving gen Zers. The world is a rotting shitty bin-fire and tomorrow never knows, but tonight, you're a rock'n'roll star. ★★★★★ I don't think anyone who managed to get their hands on a ticket for this reunion could feel short changed. Because really it was a reunion between an audience and their favourite band, a reunion between Britain and rock'n'roll … It was very loud, it was simplistic to the point of banality and it was magically, exhaustingly uplifting. ★★★★★ The real underlying thrill is of a historical moment fully revived. For all the laddish boorishness that Oasis undoubtedly encapsulated, the Britpop era, for millennials and gen Zers alike, is as halcyon as Beatlemania or the summer of love – a time of vivid colour, jubilant melody, political stability and affordable flats. And to be a part of this second wind of torrid Oasismania, hyped by effusive press coverage and leading to historic shows such as this one, is as close to actually 'being there' as it's possible to get. ★★★★★ The set list made me feel like I was being punched in the face - repeatedly - by the Nineties. Liam's vocals were out of this world - he ought to pie off Clarks and get an advertising deal with Halls Soothers because whatever he was sucking in rehearsals clearly paid off. And Noel, who has never failed to impress me performing live, was the cherry on the cake with his masterful ability on the guitar sure to inspire generations of young musicians to come. ★★★★★ Today, reports of gen Z loving Oasis have not been overplayed. There's been a cross-generational vibe around these shows. Like Noel's dream of melding dance music communality with punk rock attitude to kill off grunge in the 90s, seems to have been rebooted. Turn off and on again, and the aggro violence has gone, and what's left is something fresh and cool and utterly exciting. ★★★★★ The city of Cardiff had been on a wave of excitement and bucket hats all week and the soundchecks coming out of the stadium were sounding class, proper bristles up on the back of your neck type stuff. But the real thing was intense and immense. A wall of sound burst around the closed Principality Stadium … and Liam's voice was faultless. (No star rating) The band sound, to use Liam's favorite phrase, absolutely biblical. Within half an hour, we're through Acquiesce, Morning Glory, Supersonic and Cigarettes & Alcohol at tremendous volume. Oasis's arsenal of generation-defining hits is hardly a secret, but when confronted with them one after another like this, it was truly overwhelming.
