Iconic '90s Rock Band Fooled Fans With 'First' Soundcheck in 15 Years — See Viral Clip
Iconic '90s Rock Band Fooled Fans With 'First' Soundcheck in 15 Years — See Viral Clip originally appeared on Parade. It's been 15 years since this beloved band last took the stage together — and now, they're closer than ever to reuniting. Though Oasis had split in 2009, they recently announced they've put their feud aside and will perform together on Friday, July 4. 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,' the band wrote in their announcement. Kicking off their tour in the Welsh capital, the Gallagher brothers are slated to perform across the UK throughout the summer. As preparations for the show got underway, fans lingered near the venue hoping for a sneak peek of the band rehearsing their set. Videos from the soundcheck quickly went viral across social media, including clips of the band performing their hit track 'Cigarettes and Alcohol.' One fan posted on X, 'Epic! Cannot wait for Friday!!' while another added, 'I know this is just a soundcheck, but the bumps are goosing.' Another user, disappointed at missing out on tickets, wrote, 'I've been chilled about not getting tickets but that is cool as f--k. Shivers.' Oasis soundcheck in Cardiff just now@liamgallagher sounding biblical — Conor Gogarty (@ConorGogarty) June 30, 2025 However, some fans were skeptical the band was actually performing live since Noel's voice was missing from the recordings. 'I believe this audio is from the Definitely Maybe tour rehearsals last year,' one person suggested, while another added, 'This is a pre recording to test sound levels i would assume. Not sure the band are actually there.' Amid the speculation, Liam Gallagher took to X on Monday, June 30 to set the record straight — and it was a bit of a bummer. When asked if he and Noel Gallagher were performing live, Liam replied, 'I've been in my pool all day doing under water farts, so it's defo a recording from rehearsals unless there's 2 of me, which I'm absolutely 1 million per cent here for.' Regardless, excitement remains high for the reunion. Formed in 1991, Oasis had quite a contentious history together. Despite this, the band toured and released new music until their breaking point on August 28, 2009. According to Noel, the brothers had a fistfight before their world tour and started traveling separately to shows. '[Liam] goes out the dressing room, for whatever reason, he went to his own dressing room, and he came back with a guitar, and he started wielding it like an axe, and I'm not f— kidding,' Noel said in 2015 to Far Out Magazine. 'I'm making light of it because it's kind of what I do, but it was a real unnecessary violent act. He nearly took my face off with it.' Following the fight, Noel decided it was time to walk away from the band and his brother. It seems time has healed old wounds, as the brothers have put the past behind them — giving fans 24 chances to see Oasis live again, hopefully without any flying guitars.

Major Oasis reunion tour setlist clue as string of iconic tracks heard during soundcheck ahead of first gig in Cardiff
THE countdown is well and truly on for the grand return of Oasis after 16 years. But locals in Cardiff may well get to hear the group before their comeback gig on Friday. The set-up at the Welsh capital's Principality Stadium is well under way. On Monday, the city could hear a soundcheck where a string of songs were blasted out through the open roof, giving clues of what will be on the setlist. Live versions of their 1995 No1 Some Might Say, 1994's Cigarettes & Alcohol and Fn' In The Bushes, from 2000 album Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants, were all played. Noel and Liam Gallagher are not thought to have been there for the soundcheck, with Liam posting on X that 'nobody rehearses on a Monday'. But they are likely to take to the stage to practise before doors officially open on Friday afternoon. A source said: 'The stage is being set up in the stadium and everything is being tested to make sure the opening show goes off without a hitch. 'The band and their team are very much aware that the world will be watching, so they want it to be the best show possible. 'They will be doing a soundcheck in the lead-up to the first concert so the locals are likely to hear them performing before ticket holders will get to see them. 'It's very exciting.' In more good news for fans, the group have announced a deluxe 30th anniversary edition of their second album (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, which will be out on October 3. Liam Gallagher reveals new details about Oasis tour – before quickly deleting post It will feature five new unplugged versions of classic recordings Cast No Shadow, Morning Glory, Wonderwall, Acquiesce and Champagne Supernova, and is available to pre-order now. Meanwhile, Liam has been mouthing off on X in the run-up to the shows. Asked if he's 'seriously not nervous' about it, he said: 'No, coz I've prepared like a CHAMPION.' To another, he added: 'We wouldn't be doing it if we sounded s**t.' And he couldn't help but have a playful dig at his big brother. After one fan posted a dream setlist ending with Don't Look Back In Anger, on which Noel sings lead vocals, another commented: 'Not a chance Liam isn't closing the gig.' Liam replied: 'Exactly . . . He is the boss but he's not f***ing stupid.' Clearly he still sees himself as the main attraction, even after all this time.
