Oasis surprise fans with dramatic set list change and new song
Fans last week who saw the first Oasis shows in 16 years at the Principality stadium were treated to 23 songs including Supersonic and Little By Little.
And the band are well known for sticking to the same set a lot, sometimes without changing for a whole tour.
But back in Manchester they decided to give the fans something extra and played another song from their iconic back catalogue.
The changing set list gives fans hope that other songs may be added at other venues. Taylor Swift played different songs every night on her recent world tour.
A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time.
This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show!
In Cardiff the majority of Oasis fans were happy with the choice of songs although there were some notable songs missing.
Amongst those missing which are popular amongst fans are Columbia, Lyla, Go Let It Out, Stop Crying Your Heart Out, The Importance Of Being Idle and the Beatles classic I Am The Walrus, which the band sometimes play as an encore.
Commenting on the Cardiff set list, Paul Johnson said on X: 'There's absolute bangers they left out.'
Mick Went 57 said: 'Good but no Columbia? Def in their top 5 imo.'
In the tour programme Noel reflected on playing with Oasis and his brother, saying: 'People will never forget the way you made them feel.'
He also mused about why so many people of all ages tried to get tickets for the Oasis Live 25 tour.
Noel said: 'A new generation recognises how Oasis wasn't manufactured. It was chaotic, and flawed, and not technically brilliant. We were rough and ready guys from a rehearsal room, and people recognised it.'
Their return to Manchester coincided with a heatwave and Oasis warned fans ahead of Friday's gig to wear sun screen and keep hydrated ahead of the show.
After Manchester Oasis go to London, Edinburgh, and Dublin as well as the US, South America and Australia. The Gallaghers shocked fans last weekend with a symbolic sign of unity by coming on stage holding hands.
