Oasis kicked off the first of three nights at Murrayfield Stadium with a spectacular gig in front of 68,000 adoring fans. It was a moment so many people, including me, had waited 16 years for and it certainly didn't disappoint. Heading through from Glasgow on the train, there was already a buzz of excitement in the air and we weren't even in the city where the gig was taking place. I made sure to get the train over to Haymarket early as I didn't want to miss a thing on this special night with Cast and Richard Ashcroft being the perfect acts to get the party started. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Earlier this week, I heard Paul Weller who is a long term friend of Noel Gallagher describe the Oasis reunion as a 'cultural moment' which I think perfectly encapsulates what has already gone before in Cardiff, Manchester and London. Oasis kicked off the first of three nights at Murrayfield Stadium | Big Brother Recordings As the minutes ticked down until the band came on stage, Underworld's 'Born Slippy' came on through the speakers and the place absolutely erupted before the usual entrance music of 'F*****' in the Bushes'. It was surreal to see Liam and Noel walk on stage clutching hands with their arms in the air. I'd be here all day describing each song and what it meant as so many tunes were outstandingly good live. 'Hello' is simply an incredible opener and it certainly does feel 'good to be back' seeing Oasis live as Liam said: 'Oasis vibes in the area. Edinburgh vibes in the area.' Before launching into 'Acquiesce', Liam said: 'We've f****** missed you.' The moment where Noel joins in during the classic Oasis B-Side affirms that brotherly bond back on stage.

There was a special mention to people in the audience like myself as before introducing 'Fade Away' Liam said: 'Do we have any people that have never seen us before? S*** loads. How does this feel? This one's for you.' Before culminating the set with 'Champagne Supernova' as fireworks lit up the Edinburgh night sky, Liam said 'Nice one for making this happen. It must be hard work following a band like us over the years, we don't know how to behave ourselves and s***. Nice one for sticking with us.' If you have tickets for Saturday or Tuesday night you are in for an absolute treat as Oasis sound unbelievable back on stage and will no doubt put on another two special nights that it's a joy to be a part of.

Liam and Noel Gallagher walk out hand-in-hand again for second Oasis Live '25 Wembley show
Oasis played their second concert at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday night (26.07.25) - with Liam Gallagher and brother Noel Gallagher walking out together hand-in-hand once again. The reunited brothers walked on to the mammoth stage arms aloft to the track F*****' in the Bushes as the 90,000-plus fans inside the home of football let out a deafening cheer for the second of seven nights at the iconic venue. Oasis kicked off with Hello and followed it up with Acquiesce, with Liam and Noel sharing vocals, before playing an incendiary version of Morning Gory which was dedicated to the "early risers". Liam, 52, was in a playful mood throughout the night and took a moment on stage to clear up speculation about the hat he was wearing on Saturday evening and on Friday (25.07.25). Addressing the attention on his hat, Liam said: "Got one thing to clear up, it's not velvet ... It's jumbo cord and it's a f***ing bucket hat." After Some Might Say made the stadium shake from the thousands of people jumping around, Liam then spoke to the crowd again saying "what's this song? From Mongolia" as he introduced Bring It On Down from the band's acclaimed 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe. For Cigarettes and Alcohol, Liam asked the fans who were standing to do The Poznan, the celebration borrowed from their beloved Premier League football team Manchester City which involves fans facing away from the stage, linking arms with their fellow gig-goers and bouncing up and down in unison. The frontman said: "Right then beautiful people. I never ask you to do anything. I've never asked you to do the hokey cokey. Turn around and do the Poznan." The classics just kept coming and after Roll With It Noel took over on vocals for the ballad Talk Tonight. Before playing the 1995 B-side, the 58-year-old songwriter said: "This one is for the ladies." Noel then performed Half the World Away and Little By Little, which prompted a mass singalong, before Liam returned for D'You Know What I Mean? and Stand By Me from Oasis' third album Be Here Now. One of the evening's highlights was 1994 single Whatever which included Liam singing lyrics from The Beatles song Octopus's Garden. After Live Forever, Oasis departed the stage after an staggering rendition of Rock 'n' Roll Star. They returned to more deafening cheers for an encore of of mass singalongs with Noel on The Masterplan and Don't Look Back In Anger - which pop star Dua Lipa was spotted passionately singing along to - and then Wonderwall with Liam back behind the mic. Before playing set closer Champagne Supernova, Liam thanked fans for sticking with him and Noel during their 16 years away and for coming out in their tens of thousands at each show so far on the reunion tour. He said: "It must be hard work supporting us. Look after yourselves." As the final notes of the rock epic played, the London night sky was lit up by explosions of fireworks as the fans cheered the Gallaghers and their bandmates off stage.
