Watch as Oasis reunite after 16 years at Cardiff concert
The performance was the first show in their long-awaited reunion tour (Live '25) - which will also see them perform in locations including London, Manchester and Edinburgh.
The brothers, who had not performed together since their dramatic split in 2009, blasted through their setlist, kicking off with Hello, from their second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
During the gig, Liam apologised to fans for how long it had taken for them to reunite.
He spoke to the audience several times throughout the set, saying: 'Hello people, it's been too long,' before launching into Oasis' third song of the night - What's the Story.
Both brothers made joking references to the dynamic pricing scandal during Friday's show.
Fans were left outraged when trying to buy tickets for the Oasis tour in the UK and Ireland, with some standard tickets appearing to jump from £148 to £355.
The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing.
The brothers also paid tribute to Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident on Thursday (July 3).
During the final bars of Live Forever, a picture of Jota was displayed, with the crowd cheering and applauding the gesture.
As they broke into fan-favourite Champagne Supernova, their final song of the evening, Liam said: 'Right you beautiful people, this is it.
'Nice one for putting up with us over the years, we know we've been difficult.
'Champagne Supernova, nice one.'
While the brothers shared no banter on stage throughout the gig, they very briefly high-fived and half-hugged each other's shoulders after their closing track.

The Queen's unexpected household habit that used to leave dinner guests 'in awe'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Being part of the Royal family comes with its perks, but it appears no one is exempt from mundane household chores. While the royals have a team of Palace staff to maintain their homes, some tasks require a personal touch. For the late Queen, one domestic duty proved therapeutic. According to a Royal expert, Her Majesty would often charm her house guests by donning a pair of yellow gloves and doing the washing up. Gyles Brandreth's biography, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, reveals this wholesome habit. Former Prime Minister David Cameron recalled trying to lend a hand with the dishes during a visit to Balmoral. READ MORE - Noel Gallagher confirms 'true reason for Oasis reunion' ahead of Edinburgh gigs READ MORE - Fan buys £35 restricted view Oasis ticket and can't get over how good it is Cameron shared with Gyles: "I'm not making this up, you sat down and Prince Philip and Her Majesty The Queen served your dinner and cleared it away and washed it up while you sat talking with the other guests. "I remember thinking it was sort of year five, I thought: 'Well, I now surely can help' and got up and got on the Marigolds and started doing the washing-up. And I remember Her Majesty saying: 'What on earth is the Prime Minister doing?' I'd broken with the protocol and rapidly sat back down and did what I was told.", reports the Mirror. (Image: Samir Hussein/WireImage via Getty Images) (Image: Stuart C. Wilson/Getty Images) David Cameron wasn't the only one taken aback by Her Majesty's insistence on tidying up after herself and her guests, as another close friend of the Royal Family shared a similar experience during a small luncheon. Dickie Arbiter, who worked closely with the Queen for many years as her Press Secretary, was invited to a small private lunch with the late Monarch and her husband, Prince Philip, which ended up with the two of them carrying out the unexpected domestic chore. Speaking to True Royalty TV, Dickie explained that he had volunteered to clean up from the lunch and ventured to the kitchen to begin the process of washing dishes when he heard a "very familiar voice" behind him. He said: "When I arrived at Buckingham Palace, my boss said to me, 'you've been invited to Balmoral for a dine and sleep to meet the Queen'. "There were only four of us at this lunch: The Queen, her lady-in-waiting, Prince Philip and myself. It lasted about 45 minutes, with china plates, silver cutlery and Tupperware that we helped ourselves from. "And at the end of it, the Queen said, 'We've got to clear up' and I took it as my cue as the junior flunky to do the washing up. So I went into the kitchen and started washing up. I heard this footfall behind me and assumed it was the lady-in-waiting coming to give me a hand. "I said over my shoulder without even turning, 'Okay, I'll wash you dry'. This very familiar voice behind me said, 'No, I'll wash, you dry'. It was the Queen. So she plunged her hands into the fairy liquid - no gloves - and I did the drying up. It was quite an experience to actually do a bit of domesticity with a head of state."

Kate Middleton 'fulfilled long held promise' to Princess Charlotte with sweet move
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Kate Middleton "fulfilled a long held promise" to her daughter Princess Charlotte, feeling "guilty" for not spending enough time with her due to cancer treatment. The Duchess of Cambridge, an ardent tennis fan and patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, is a frequent presence at Wimbledon and is set to return to the Royal Box this year. Last year marked Charlotte's first experience at the esteemed tennis championships, realising a pledge Kate had made to bring her to the finals. Royal biographer Ingrid Seward shared with The Sun: "It was a long held promise that Kate would take Charlotte to the finals as a special treat. READ MORE - Noel Gallagher confirms 'true reason for Oasis reunion' ahead of Edinburgh gigs READ MORE - Fan buys £35 restricted view Oasis ticket and can't get over how good it is "Kate felt guilty she hadn't been able to spend as much time as she would have liked to be with the kids because of her exhaustion after her treatment." Seward also noted that having Charlotte there helped divert attention away from Kate, who, in spite of her health issues, was "determined" to attend Centre Court last year, reports the Mirror. Body language expert Judi James hailed young Royal Charlotte as Kate's "wing-girl" during their public outings. Speaking to The Mirror, Judi James commented: "Charlotte is still showing signs of being her mother's wing-girl. She is now grown up enough to walk independently beside or behind her mother, with Kate only performing a small, loving touch on the back to bring her forward for her handshakes,". (Image: PA Archive/PA Images) (Image: PA Archive/PA Images) Furthermore, Judi noted: "Charlotte is so clearly still using her mother as her body language role model, too. She appeared to be tuned into Kate closely, changing her own pose to mirror her mother's while they all stood chatting." Wimbledon kicked off this Monday and will run until Sunday, July 13, with Royal sightings upping the ante of the tennis tournament's prestige. Day one of the competition welcomed Sarah, Duchess of York, accompanied by Princess Beatrice, and Lady Gabriella Kingston made an appearance with philanthropist Robert Denning. Not just a magnet for tennis fans, Wimbledon also attracts a bevy of stars including the recently knighted Sir David Beckham, who took in the action from Centre Court. Joining the celebrity roster, Hollywood star Jessica Alba was seen enjoying the event alongside her daughter Honor Warren. BBC Radio One's Mollie King and English cricket ace Stuart Broad also graced the occasion, contributing to the glitz of the opening day.

Oasis fans spot subtle cameo by Liam Gallagher's newest family member at gig
While thousands of fans looked on as Oasis performed their iconic songs one fan noticed that Liam Gallagher had paid tribute to his beloved dog Buttons while on stage As the stage lit up at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff to mark the first of many concerts of the Oasis world tour, many were left thrilled to see the Gallagher brothers reunite to perform their classic tracks. But one eagle-eyed fan noticed that Liam had made an effort to share his special moment with one of his "family members", after placing them on the big screen behind him - his beloved dog Buttons. The frontman of Oasis, 52, had an image of his pet pooch who he rescued from the jungle in Thailand in full view on the big screen behind him. Liam adopted Buttons in 2023 and the pair have seemingly built up an unbreakable bond ever since. Taking to X, Niall Harbison, who had originally rescued Button from the jungle, wrote: "Most people were probably looking at @liamgallagher and @oasis last night on stage." He added: "Look a little closer and you'll spot a dog called Buttons. Her's is a remarkable story… " He continued: "Button was a little puppy who walked into our sanctuary in Thailand in the middle of the jungle just as it was getting built. She had been abandoned. She kept coming back daily for food and hoping for company." After rescuing Buttons, Niall put the pooch up for adoption only to find Liam and his partner Debbie were interested in taking Buttons home with them back to the UK. Niall continued: "Little did I know but Liam and his partner Debbie had been following. After a long process she was adopted to them in the UK. Buttons has grown into a beloved member of the family and landed on her paws." He went on to say: "Liam has been a big support of @wearehappydoggo and donated his globe from the last tour to raise funds. I don't think buttons realizes her dad is a rock star. She just loves her humans." Niall concluded his post saying: "So if you are wondering why there is a dog on the @oasis screens now you know. Well done buttons. I think you can say you've made it when your dad has you on the big screen." At the time, Niall had posted a number of images of Liam bonding with Buttons while in Thailand. In one picture shared on social media, Liam is seen dressed in a navy blue cagoule as he lovingly placed one hand under Button's chin while the other gently held Buttons' paw. In another image from 2023, Liam is seen playing with Buttons as he held his hand up in the air instructing Buttons to jump up and catch whatever he held in his hand. Ahead of the reunion tour, Liam has steered clear of alcohol and partying in order to give fans the best show of their lives. But it wasn't that long ago the rock and roll star had vowed to maintain his boozy lifestyle until he was 80 years old. In a Sky documentary Liam Gallagher: 48 Hours At Rockfield, he said: "I am not into yoga and I don't eat tofu. I drink lager and I like to have a good time. I don't punish myself into being some super-skinny dude." He added: "I am what I am. I am not a 50-year-old going round preaching. I will be like this when I am f**king 80, hopefully."
