Oasis take to the stage at Croke Park
Oasis have taken to the stage at Croke Park for their first Irish performance since 2009, kicking off right on time at 8.15pm.
Liam Gallagher appeared in a green Kangol jacket, with Noel in a white shirt, as the band launched into their opening song Hello.
The pre-gig mix had set the mood with tracks including Start Me Up by The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well, and Luke Kelly's version of The Auld Triangle.
Greeting the crowd, Liam shouted: "Dublin City in the area!"
He then quipped: "I think I'm a Croke Park virgin! We haven't played here before, have we? All I do know is this is the soberest I've been in Ireland since I was about four or five or something like that!
"We missed you, you lunatics!"
After they belted out a number of tracks Liam asked the crowd: "Is there anyone here from Mayo, Charlestown?"
When the crowd cheered he said: "You're not all from there there's only around five f****** people from there."
He then dedicated Roll With It to them.
Set list so far:
Hello
Acquiesce
Morning Glory
Some Might Say
Bring It On Down
Cigarettes & Alcohol
Fade Away
Supersonic
Roll With It
Talk Tonight
Half The World Away
D'you Know What I Mean
