Wales Online reporter Conor Gogarty captured a video from Fitzhamond Embankment opposite the venue, in which you can hear the duo blasting out their cult classic tracks.
'Oasis soundcheck in Cardiff just now. @liamgallagher sounding biblical,' he quipped.
Unsurprisingly, Liam chimed in, writing: 'Mmm I'm not sure about the vocals there too aggressive he really needs to take a chill pill man he's just so angry all the time,' he wrote.

'I don't know who he thinks he is as far as I'm concerned he's just a bigmouth from up north. (sic)'
The monumental moment has reignited excitement among fans, with a number taking to social media in awe.
'I've been chilled about not getting tickets but that is cool as f*ck. Shivers,' one fan shared. The short clip filmed outside the Principality Stadium features the unmistakable chords of Cigarettes and Alcohol, a firm fan favourite, prompting immediate excitement and a flurry of reactions online. Pic:'It's all starting to feel real,' another shared.
The band split up in 2009 but announced their reunion tour last year, sending fans wild as they battled it out on Ticketmaster for some of the coveted tickets.
While Irish fans still have to wait almost two months before the brothers take to the stage at Croke Park, details of what to expect have been released ahead of the first gig of the tour.
Details released via social media confirmed that gates would be open from 5pm on Friday and Saturday with two acts set to warm-up the crowd before the brothers take to the stage later in the evening.
Indie rock band Cast and singer-songwriter Richard Ashcroft, known as the frontman of The Verve, support Oasis over the weekend — and are set to be on supporting duties throughout the tour.
Both acts have close ties to the Gallagher brothers over the years with Cast opening up for Liam earlier in 2024 as part of his Definitely Maybe 30th anniversary tour.
