Oasis confirm stage times for first shows
Oasis fans have been sent into a frenzy as the Manchester band confirmed what time they’ll take to the stage for their first reunion show.
Liam and Noel Gallagher will be kick off the Oasis Live ’25 tour this Friday at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium for two back-to-back shows. They’ll then head to Manchester’s Heaton Park for five huge shows as well as dates at London Wembley.
Announced last August to feverish excitement, anticipation for the band’s first gigs in 16 years has been building to a fever pitch in recent weeks – and now the wait is almost over.
On Saturday, with less than a week to go, Liam Gallagher took to X (June 28) to confirm what time the band will be taking to the stage.

In a now-deleted tweet, he 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”.
And now the stage times for the support and the main act have been confirmed on the band’s account too.
For both nights, doors at the Principality will open at 5pm. Support acts Cast will take to the stage at 6pm, followed by Richard Ashcroft at 7pm.
Oasis will then officially kick off their tour, coming out onto stage at 8:15pm, with a curfew confirmed of 10:30pm.
The announcement on social media this morning has drawn a number of comments. Some fans have spoken out about the length of the set, while others have pondered whether the stage times will be the same for other gigs on the tour.
One person on X wrote: “TWO HOURS GODOD THEYVE CHOSEN TO BLESS US @liamgallagher, if you’re lurking thank you so much much love to you u beautiful freak x.”
Another added: “ngl this is banging and more artists need to start doing their gig times like this.”
While a third said: “Not a long enough gig for the ticket prices.”
The first support act announced for the reunion tour was Richard Ashcroft, the former lead singer of The Verve, this was followed up by 90s band Cast, the latter led by former La’s bassist John Power.
The Verve are behind hits including Bitter Sweet Symphony and The Drugs Don’t Work, and also have released six solo studio albums – including 2021’s Acoustic Hymns Vol 1.
Having broken out in the music scene at a similar time as Oasis, Richard Ashcroft gained a close friendship with Liam and Noel after The Verve supported them in 1993.
Cast, who emerged in 1992, are known for hits including Flying, Free Me and Beat Mama, and last year supported Liam on his Definitely Maybe 30 Years tour, which included four shows at Co-op Live last June.
