Noel and Liam Gallagher have been pictured on stage together for the first time in 16 years as the brothers kicked off the Live ’25 tour in Cardiff on Friday. The Mancunians swaggered out into the Principality Stadium to incredible noise from the crowd for the biggest rock reunion the world has ever seen, The Mirror reports . The pair walked onto the stage as their song “F**king in the Bushes” played, wasting no time Oasis then aptly opened up into the (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?) tune Hello as the sold out crowd erupted into cheers. Liam and Noel got straight into the hits as the sun blasted over 70,000 fans in the stadium. After finishing up the opening, punters were treated to Acquiesce, which first appeared as a B-side to their first UK Number One single, Some Might Say. “Hey, beautiful people, it’s been too long,” Liam told the crowd, before the band burst into the 1995 mega-hit, Morning Glory. After, in true Liam style, he made a cheeky remark to the crowd, joking: “I see you’re all on the glue still down there!” The band played Some Might Say and Bring it on Down before Liam told the audience to bounce for their 1994 track Cigarettes and Alcohol. While the two brothers are Manchester legends, there were cheeky boos as Liam asked the crowd: “Anybody here from Manchester? Anyone here from Burn-aaage?” he asked. “Right, this is the last one,” Liam teased before the Oasis anthem Rock n Roll star began and flares went off in the crowd with red mist filling the air. Some other hits from the set included Fade Away, Supersonic, Roll With It, Half The World Away, D’You Know What I Mean?, Stand by Me, Cast No Shadow, Slide Away and Live Forever It was estimated more than 100,000 people travelled to Cardiff for the show, with some hoping to get a last minute ticket or just to be there to celebrate in the pubs and bars for any after parties following the show.
