Oasis fans 'sobbing' as Noel Gallagher does something he 'never does' at first gig

Oasis fans were left in floods of tears after witnessing Noel Gallagher display a level of emotion not seen in years. The legendaryLiam and Noel Gallagher shared the stage last night for the first time in 16 years, kicking off their tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

The event saw more than 70,000 fans gather to witness the historic moment as Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, showed that they've buried the hatchet, ending their notorious long-standing feud. The emotional reunion was eagerly anticipated by Oasis fans, with many moved to tears, including one of the band members themselves. Noel was spotted wiping away tears during the performance, visibly moved as he held hands with his younger sibling.

Fans were deeply affected by the sight of the Manchester-born brothers reuniting on stage after Oasis split up in 2009.

Many were particularly touched by Noel's show of vulnerability – a side he's not often revealed.

One fan posted a photo on X of the two brothers hand in hand on stage, commenting: "Noel was crying on stage. I can't do this, I'm sobbing."

Another fan reflected: "Never during this 30 years I've ever seen Noel so emotional and I still can't stop thinking about this and feeling the same."

A third chimed in: "I'm sorry I really can't get over Noel crying... this band meant everything to him. It was his baby.

"I can't even imagine what it felt like to walk out on that stage 16 years later reunited with his brother to bring those songs back to life. Now I'm crying."

A fourth fan echoed: "Oasis is his baby. I bet it hit hard right before the walk-out. Such a great photo and moment."

One fortunate concert-goer who saw the performance at the venue shared: "That was everything I was hoping for and more! The best gig I've ever been to in my life."

Another X user remarked: "THIS is what they've been missing...They really do need each other."

Oasis fans were delighted with a setlist packed with Oasis classics, especially tracks from the 1990s, including Wonderwall, Cigarettes and Alcohol, Champagne Supernova and Slide Away – though some grumbled about one notable absence from the lineup.

Oasis also earned praise from football supporters for their sincere tribute to Liverpool star Diogo Jota who sadly died in a car accident this week.

The group honoured their 1994 anthem Live Forever to Jota by projecting a massive image of the back of Jota's Liverpool shirt on stage at the Principality Stadium.

Many also commended the duo's vocals, acknowledging that the pair still "sounded amazing" despite how long its been.

Tickets for the first Cardiff performance were being resold for more than £3,500 just hours before the show as supporters were desperate to witness the rock legends' comeback.

The Oasis Live '25 global tour will see the band perform across Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Toronto, USA, Japan, Australia before wrapping up in São Paulo, Brazil on November 23.
