Oasis have officially dropped the curtain—well, partially—on what fans can expect from the stage production at tonight’s long-awaited reunion gig in Cardiff.
And if you’ve been hanging on every breadcrumb leading up to the big night, this one’s a proper feast.
Just hours out from Liam and Noel Gallagher reuniting live for the first time since 2009, Oasis have shared a black-and-white time-lapse video from inside the Principality Stadium. Backed, fittingly, by ‘Fuckin’ In The Bushes’, the clip shows the massive stage coming together piece by piece—speaker stacks, lighting rigs, the works. The full-scale Oasis machine is officially in motion.
A second clip, in full colour, zooms in on the finishing touches: crew attaching that iconic block-letter Oasis logo, flight cases everywhere, and a vibe so thick you can cut it with a pint glass.
It’s all part of the theatre around what’s shaping up to be the biggest comeback in British rock history. Fans have travelled from all over—Japan, Mexico, Korea, Italy—and many started queuing outside the venue nearly 24 hours before doors open at 5pm. Some even got lucky with surprise VIP upgrades.
The show starts at 8:15pm with support from Richard Ashcroft and Cast. And while Liam’s been joking online about pre-recorded soundcheck leaks and Aldi renaming stores “Aldeh” in celebration, there’s no mistaking the scale of this moment.
Even Noel, who rarely deals in hype, told talkSPORT this week: “It’s sounding huge. There’s no going back now.”
The merch drop alone has been chaos—£90 track jackets, £40 tees, and lines already stretching around the block. But again, no one’s here to be reasonable. This is Oasis.
After Cardiff, the band plays a second night in Wales before heading to Manchester’s Heaton Park, Wembley Stadium, and then the rest of the world.
Sixteen years in the making, and now, finally, it’s happening.
