Oasis Returns to Australia with a Roaring Welcome from Fans Young and Old Alike.
The British rock band's highly anticipated world reunion tour kicked off in Marvel Stadium, Melbourne on Friday night, marking the first time Oasis played in Australia since their initial visit in 1998. As Liam and Noel stepped out onto the stage, greeted by deafening screams and hands clasped above their heads, it was clear that the Australian fans had missed them dearly.
The energy in the crowd was electric as Liam proclaimed, "G'day Australia, did you miss us?" - a sentiment that resonated with many fans who never got the chance to see Oasis live during their initial visit. The band's music has always been particularly well-received in Australia, with hits like 'What's the Story (Morning Glory)?' and 'Wonderwall' reaching number one on the charts in 1995.
The crowd was a diverse mix of young and old fans who had either missed out on seeing Oasis live during their initial visit or were born into a new generation that has grown up on their music. This included Ali, Anna, and Sharon - all British-Australians who have been following the band since their early days - as well as Kerri, a longtime fan who attended every single one of Oasis's UK shows back in the day.
While some fans splurged on expensive merchandise like bucket hats ($70) and Adidas gear, others opted for more affordable alternatives. This was evident in the sea of anoraks and band t-shirts in attendance, as well as the numerous signs bearing witty slogans like 'Bring It On Down' and 'Don't Look Back at Anger'.
During their performance, the brothers were in top form, showcasing their trademark swagger and mischievous charm. The setlist featured a range of hits from across their discography, including 'Live Forever', 'Rock 'n' Roll Star', and 'Champagne Supernova'. Even the notoriously rowdy Liam was tamed by the enthusiastic crowd as he quipped that Australia seemed to have grown out of its cocaine-sniffing phase.
The performance concluded with a heartfelt dedication from Liam - "Listen, nice one for putting up with us over the years. We appreciate it, we fucking love you" - which left fans beaming with joy and anticipation for what's next.

The reunion of Oasis in Australia was truly a momentous occasion! I think it's remarkable how their music has endured across generations, transcending cultural and temporal boundaries 
. The Aussie crowd's enthusiasm is palpable, and it's clear that the brothers' unique chemistry has maintained its magnetic pull 
. Liam's quip about Australia having "grown out" of its past phases is quite amusing 
. It's a testament to Oasis's ability to create music that resonates with people on a deep level, allowing them to connect with fans across time and space 
. Overall, I think this reunion is a beautiful reminder of the power of art to bring people together 
.
it's amazing to see the new gen discovering their music thru the old vids on youtube or whatnot. merch prices are wild tho 
$70 for a bucket hat? lol anyway, oasis is definitely living up to the hype and i'm hyped to see what they got in store 
Liam and Noel are literally legends, you can see the connection between them on stage, it's like no time has passed at all 
. The crowd was SO into it too, with those anoraks and band tees everywhere... 
They were SO hyped! 
The stats are insane: 92% of attendees reported feeling emotional during the performance, while 85% said they've been waiting over 20 years to see Oasis live 
. I'm telling u, this is gonna be a wild ride! 
Oasis is back in Australia and it's clear that the magic hasn't faded! The energy at Marvel Stadium was insane, from the screaming fans to the cool merch ( bucket hats $70 tho 
) - I'm low-key impressed by how many people showed up in anoraks and band tees. I mean, who wouldn't want to rock out to "What's the Story" or "Wonderwall"? It's awesome that the crowd was a mix of old fans and newbies alike, it's like Oasis is bringing everyone together for one epic night 
. I mean, Oasis has been gone for like 25 years already... how could everyone have missed them that badly? It's just a bunch of nostalgia-fueled fans who can't remember what life was like before the band broke up. And those merch prices are outrageous 
. $70 for a bucket hat? Give me a break! 
I'm sure they're just printing money off the back of old Oasis fans who don't know any better...
I mean, 1998 was a looong time ago lol 
. Australia really knows how to throw a party 
. Can't wait for their next show 
.
and that the merch wasn't too out of this world (I mean who pays $70 for a bucket hat?!? 
my mate ali (who's a huge fan) told me she snuck into general admission just to get closer lol but like most people opted for merch cos who can resist those bucket hats $70 tho? anyways oasis clearly still got the magic they played all their hits and even threw in some oldies 
also gotta give it up to liam for calming down the crowd no cocaine sniffs here!! 
but like we all know they're bffs at the end of the day.
. can't wait to see what they do next! 
oasis is defo one of those bands that never gets old, all these people crying happy tears in the crowd... it's so beautiful seeing old & young fans unite over their music
