After months of hype, Oasis will finally make their triumphant return to the stage for the first time in 16 years this week.
The reunited Britpop legends kick off their Oasis Live '25 tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium this weekend and will headline two nights at Croke Park on August 16 and 17. Support will come from Cast and Richard Ashcroft with the official Oasis website confirming stage times for each act this afternoon.
Cast will be the first act up at 6pm, followed by former Verve frontman Ashcroft at 7pm. Oasis are then scheduled to be on stage at 8:15pm with curfew of 10:30pm.
This points to the headliners - who will feature former guitarists Bonehead, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and new drummer Joey Waronker alongside Liam and Noel Gallagher - playing for over two hours. Fans have been furiously speculating as to what songs will be given an airing at the reunion shows and with the help of listings on SetlistFM we've stuck a bucket hat on our crystal ball to see if we can predict what tunes are likely to be played.
Definitely
Cigarettes & Alcohol has been heard blasting from the Principality Stadium today and will surely be a part of the set. In fact, before the band's spilt in 2009 it was their most played song, having been heard at 645 shows.
The next most frequently played tune is Don't Look Back in Anger which, given it's one of the band's most popular numbers, is also sure to make the cut. Fan favourite Live Forever was played 571 times prior to the break up and there would be uproar if it wasn't played at the comeback gigs.
The rest of the top 10 is rounded out be a slew of classics; Wonderwall, Supersonic, Champagne Supernova, Morning Glory, Acquiesce, Rock 'n' Roll Star and I Am The Walrus. It would be a safe bet to say most of these will get an airing, even if Liam has previously poured cold water on one of them making the cut.
Maybe
Lyla became a latter day live favourite having been played 236 times while Slide Away was the 11th most popular with 277 appearances. Surprisingly, The Masterplan is only at number 23 on the list having been played at 182 shows although with it being such a classic, it may well be included.
Also included from 11 to 20 on the list are Roll With It, Shakermaker, The Importance of Being Idle, Bring It On Down, Songbird, The Meaning of Soul and Columbia. While there is plenty of room in the career-spanning set, it is likely Oasis will be drawing more heavily from their earlier albums so Don't Believe The Truth's The Meaning of Soul and Heathen Chemistry's Songbird may miss out.
Some Might Say these are unlikely
Oasis played over 100 songs live in the course of their career and somewhat surprisingly fan favourite B-side Round Are Way was only ever played 24 times while D'Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman featured even less having been played 18 times.
Other fan favourites that were rarely played include Talk Tonight (44 times), Cast No Shadow (53 times), Don't Go Away (59 times) and She's Electric (52 times). Going by previous setlists, these songs may not get an airing but there's always room for surprises so none can be totally ruled out.
