Oasis fans in shock after hearing soundcheck for first gig in 16 years this week

Liam and Noel Gallagher are back with their Live '25 Tour on Friday (4 July)

The long-awaited Oasis tour will soon be upon us, and fans have been shocked to their cores after hearing raw vocals during a soundcheck.

Grab yourself a champagne so you can feel supanovaaaaa in the skyyyyy, because Oasis are back months after one of the Gallagher brothers hinted at how long their gigs would last.

Mancunians and the rest of the UK have united now that the band have confirmed how long they'll actually be up on stage during the Live '25 Tour.

First on the list is Cardiff, which will see the bucket hat brothers finally set foot on stage together again after almost two decades.

Fans will be able to get down to the classics on Friday (4 July) at the Principality Stadium, and again the night afterwards.

After that’s done, Oasis will play five shows at Heaton Park in their hometown, before taking over London's Wembley Stadium.

Then there’s Edinburgh and Dublin before the duo fly overseas to bring their tunes to the masses.

But if you think you know what they’re going to sound like after years of refusing to play with each other, you’re probably wrong.

Two clips were posted to X which appear to show what they're working with, and it’s magical.

One person caught wind of their hit song ‘Cigarettes and Alcohol’ and made sure to whip out their phone from across the way, seemingly shooting the clip from outside the venue.

Another person had the exact same idea and actually walked up to the entrance of the stadium to get a better audio of the same song, and fans said Liam Gallagher’s vocals were ‘biblical’, even 16 years on.

The first poster wrote: “Oasis soundcheck in Cardiff just now @liamgallagher sounding biblical.”

The second poster shared: “THEY’RE IN THERE!!! @liamgallagher and @oasis are testing @principalitysta speakers in Cardiff and they are LOUD.”

Fans were loving the sounds and expressing how much they can’t wait to hear the other songs.

One person commented: “Ooooh the haters r gonna be pressed as F*** hearing how celestial liams sounding.”

Someone else said: “Omg his voice sounds so young and refreshing I love tion sounds.”

Another added: “Just hearing the guitar riff made me nervous and excited aaaaaahhh.”


In a since-deleted post on X on 28 June, Liam informed fans about what time he and Noel would head on stage.

The 'Wonderwall' singer wrote: “Oasis on stage 8.15pm Cardiff don't be late or we'll start without you and you don't want that now do ya see ya there LG x.”

Considering he removed the post, fans were left scratching their heads and hadn't a clue what to believe. However, the timings have since been confirmed.

If you’ve got tickets, the doors at the Principality Stadium will open at 5pm, an hour before Britpop band Cast head on stage to support Oasis.

The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft will then start at 7pm before handing the mic to the main event at 8.15pm.
