Oasis' first gig in 16 years sends fans supersonic: 'thank you for putting up with us'
The Manchester band defined the 'Britpop' revival of guitar music, before tensions between Noel Gallagher, the band's main songwriter, and his younger brother, lead singer Liam, led to its split.
The group walked onto the stage in the 74,500-capacity Principality Stadium and launched into Hello, sounding as tight as at the height of their fame.
Interaction with the audience was minimal during the two-hour performance. Interaction between the brothers was nonexistent until a very brief hug at the end.
