The Gallagher brothers 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.
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."
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.
She was spotted arriving at the gig in Cardiff in "good spirits", as she took her seat with friends.
Noel Gallagher's ex-wife Meg Matthews spotted at Oasis comeback gig
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.
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.
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.

The hell and the handcart feel that bit more bearable now.'

What our reviewer said 'This new Jurassic adventure isn't doing anything so very different from the earlier successful models, perhaps, and I could have done without its outrageous brand synergy product placement for certain brands of chocolate bar.

What our reviewer said 'Avdeeva takes a lighter approach, less forthright, and perhaps not digging as deeply into the barely disguised tragedy of the E minor Prelude as Nikolayeva does, but equally dazzling in the exuberant display of the A minor.' Andrew Clements Read the full review Playing outdoor shows this week Summed up in a sentence Playing outdoor shows including the big send-off for Black Sabbath on Saturday, the thrash legends have reformed and are playing their first UK gigs in six years. What our reviewer said 'Slayer are still a shocking proposition, their churning riffs punctuated by gross-out gore and grim images from endless war. Subtle? No. Effective? Absolutely.'

Munroe Bergdorf: ‘The most expensive thing I've bought? Gender-affirming surgery'
Born in Essex, Munroe Bergdorf, 37, studied at the University of Brighton and worked in fashion PR. In 2022, she became the first trans model on the cover of UK Cosmopolitan and in 2023 she published her book Transitional. She hosts the podcast The Way We Are and presents MTV UK's Queerpiphany. She is a UN Women UK Changemaker and a founding consultant of the UK Diversity and Inclusion Board of L'Oréal Paris. Her latest book is Talk to Me; her documentary, Love & Rage, launched in the UK last month and is available to stream from 14 July. She lives in London. Describe yourself in three words Passionate, loving, driven. What would your superpower be? Invisibility, so I can spy on people and get the gossip. Which words or phrases do you most overuse? I say 'scream' when I should just laugh, and it really annoys my friends. Which book are you ashamed not to have read? The Great Gatsby. What makes you unhappy? Being misunderstood by people I admire. Aside from a property, what's the most expensive thing you've bought? Gender-affirming surgery. Contrary to popular belief, it's not widely available on the NHS and a lot of it you have to pay for yourself. What is the worst thing anyone's said to you? Apart from stuff on social media, an ex-partner telling me I'm unlovable. What is your guiltiest pleasure? The Real Housewives franchise. What do you owe your parents? As you get older you start to realise your parents are just people and they're often just doing their best, so I owe them understanding and grace. What is the closest you've come to death? Before transitioning, I had a severe eating disorder. The doctor said, 'Your body's shutting down and if you don't improve your mental and physical wellbeing, you'll die.' Shortly after that, I started transitioning medically and my eating disorder resolved. To whom would you most like to say sorry, and why? Everybody I've lost to suicide. When someone dies in that tragic way, you always feel you could have done more. Which living person do you most despise, and why? Every single world leader currently making the world less safe for us all. Which living person do you most admire, and why? Victoria Rose, a British surgeon operating on children in Gaza. What did you dream about last night? I have a lot of dreams that involve running and yelling. I've just had Botox in my jaw because I'm grinding my teeth in my sleep. What is the worst job you've done? At university, I worked at a hotel in housekeeping. We saw so many weird things in people's rooms. Guests would leave sex and party stuff behind! If not yourself, who would you most like to be? Grace Jones or Madonna. When did you last change your mind about something significant? Cancel culture: getting stuck on the discourse rather than looking at the system. How often do you have sex? As often as I get to see my boyfriend. Would you rather have more sex, money or fame? Money, because fame's so transient and empty, and I've got enough sex. Tell us a joke I was so surprised when the stationery store moved.
