Oasis’ Reunion Ushers in Triumphant Homecoming in Melbourne
Gallagher brothers return to the stage for first Australian shows in 19 years, reigniting their legacy with rapturous crowd response
On Friday night in Melbourne, the reunited Brit-pop icons returned to Australian shores after a nineteen-year absence, marking the launch of the Australian leg of their Live ’25 world tour in spectacular fashion.
The band opened at Marvel Stadium before a capacity crowd of approximately 58,000 and delivered a two-hour set spliced with both infectious nostalgia and renewed musical energy.
Kicking off with “Hello,” followed by a string of emotive fan-favourites including “Acquiesce” and “Morning Glory,” the performance drew repeated standing ovations and massive sing-alongs.
The atmosphere was charged as Liam and Noel Gallagher appeared on stage together—something many believed unlikely—raising cheers when they shared a brief hug at the finale.
Noel Gallagher’s guitar work stood out for its precision, delivering rich solo lines beneath Liam’s unmistakable vocal delivery.
The set spanned their catalog, with powerful renditions of “Cigarettes & Alcohol,” “Fade Away,” “Supersonic,” and “Roll With It” punctuating the show.
For the encore, the band unleashed “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Wonderwall” (which coincided with the song’s thirtieth anniversary), and “Champagne Supernova,” leaving fans in awe.
Despite the fraught history between the Gallagher brothers, the Australian live show exuded cohesion and commitment rather than friction.
In a review, critics described the performance as both an homage to and evolution of the band’s halcyon era—less show-of-old-hat-water than assured return.
Merchandise queues spilled throughout Melbourne’s city centre and the presence of Oasis-branded jackets, bucket hats and T-shirts underscored how deeply embedded the band remains in popular culture.
The Australian dates, which include additional shows in Melbourne and back-to-back nights in Sydney, reflect the tour’s global scale, with many fans having travelled interstate or across borders for the occasion.
For music lovers in Australia, Friday’s show was more than a concert—it felt like a cultural event: a rock-and-roll miracle materialising on stage, complete with one rare image of the brothers uniting.
With the crowd’s anthem-like participation and the band’s restored chemistry, this homecoming night may well stand as a pivotal moment in their storied legacy.
