Oasis Buries the Hatchet: The Gallaghers Reunite for Blinding Live '25 Tour Opener in Melbourne
In a surprise move that has left fans reeling, Oasis reunited in Melbourne on Friday night for their Australian leg of the highly-anticipated "Live '25" tour. The long-feuding Gallagher brothers finally put their differences aside and took to the stage at Marvel Stadium, delivering a blistering 2-hour set that was both nostalgic and exhilarating.
The reunion is being hailed as a rock 'n' roll miracle by fans who had all but given up hope of seeing Oasis perform live again. The band split in 2009 after years of internal conflict, with the siblings failing to reconcile their differences even when their mother, Peggy, pleaded for them to bury the hatchet.
However, on Friday night, Liam and Noel Gallagher proved that the magic was still very much alive as they launched into a two-hour setlist that included all the hits and fan favorites. The set kicked off with "Hello" and "Acquiesce," with Liam delivering a witty introduction that left the crowd in stitches.
The band's swagger and attitude were on full display as they tore through a selection of songs, including "Morning Glory," "Supersonic," and "Roll With It." Noel took to the mic for his own mini-set, delivering note-perfect guitar work and witty banter with Liam.
As the night wore on, the energy in the stadium only grew, with fans singing along to every word of Oasis' iconic hits. The highlight of the night came when the band dropped their signature song, "Wonderwall," which has become an anthem in Australian culture.
The tour coincides perfectly with the 30th anniversary of the release of "Wonderwall" on October 30, 1995, and it's clear that Liam has been nurturing a love for his own heroes, The Beatles. His nod to George Harrison's "Octopus's Garden" during an encore performance of "Whatever" was a touching tribute to their shared musical heritage.
The reunion is being hailed as one of the greatest rock 'n' roll comebacks in recent memory, with fans celebrating the return of Oasis on social media and in person. The tour continues tomorrow night at Marvel Stadium before moving to Sydney for back-to-back shows next week.
As for the brothers themselves, it was clear that they're more than happy to be sharing the stage together again. After a heartwarming moment of brotherly love when Noel and Liam hugged each other goodbye on stage, fans can't wait to see what's in store for them over the coming weeks.

I'm not buying it that they're just reuniting for the 30th anniversary of "Wonderwall". That's a pretty convenient coincidence. What if Liam's been secretly working on some new material and Noel is now joining him? Maybe this is just a way to get the band back in the spotlight while keeping their true intentions under wraps 
. And have you noticed how all the old fans are going wild on social media, sharing pics and vids from the concert? It's like they're trying to create a buzz around something... or someone 
. I'm still waiting for some concrete answers, you know?
oasis is back together and it was like the whole crowd just lost it!! noel & liam looked so happy to be on stage with each other again, all their banter was super funny lol. i love how they played all the old hits but also threw in some newer stuff - its gonna be a sick tour! 
the highlight for me was when noel sang "whatever" and it had that special george harrison vibe lol. can't wait to see what's next!
the gallaghers reunited and it was EPIC!! noel and liam finally put their differences aside and killed it on stage 
they brought the house down with their setlist, including all the hits and fan favorites... "wonderwall" was a highlight for me 
i love how liam has been referencing george harrison's music too, that was such a cool nod to their shared heritage 
i've been following oasis since i was a teenager and to see them finally perform live again is just incredible. i loved how they played all the hits and even threw in some deeper cuts like "talk tonight" and "half the world away". it's clear that noel has really found his groove again with that guitar work 
. and to think about it, their whole career was basically one big journey of self-discovery and growth... i mean, from the highs of 'Wonderwall' to the lows of their breakup, they've been through it all, you know? 
. like, he's always had talent, but now he's just owning it and bringing that energy to the stage. and Liam, man... he's still got that charisma and swagger, but now he's got this newfound appreciation for his heroes, The Beatles 
. did they learn anything from each other during those tough times? maybe that's what makes this reunion so special – they're not just picking up where they left off; they're actually healing and moving forward together 
.
.
the whole stadium was singing along, even my grandma 
noel's guitar work was on point 
and liam's stage presence is still unmatched 
30 years too late but better late than never, right? the crowd was electric and i'm so glad i got to experience it live 
it's a testament to the enduring power of music to transcend time and circumstances. and i love how liam paid tribute to the beatles during his set - it shows he's been listening to those heroes for inspiration 
. like, they put their differences aside and just let go of all the drama and angst from years past. it's a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there's always the possibility for healing and forgiveness
