Oasis made their monumental return to Australia, delivering an explosive first Aussie show of their history-making and universally celebrated global tour, OASIS LIVE ’25 at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium.
Playing to a capacity crowd of 58,000 fans, the band showed Melbourne exactly why this tour has become the most defining live music moment of the year, as they gave fans a taste of what’s to come on their five-date, sold-out stadium run of Australia.
Liam and Noel strode onto the stage with their customary swagger, hands clasped and raised high, as Liam fired up the crowd with a question: “G’day Australia. Did you miss us? Because we missed you.” The packed stadium roared its answer, a thunderous yes.
Just before launching into the emotive “Live Forever” the third single from Oasis’ 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe, he announced, “This next song’s dedicated to all the people who can’t be here. You know who they are, we know who they are. Live forever!” prompting a huge, heartfelt singalong.
OASIS LIVE ’25 has ignited a worldwide frenzy, with anticipation for the shows spanning countries and generations. Demand for the tour has been staggering with 18 million people applying for tickets when dates were first announced and 2.6 million fans securing their spot to witness what has become one of the biggest and most in-demand tours in history.
The Australian leg of the OASIS LIVE ’25 tour kicks off as Oasis celebrates 30 years since the release of “Wonderwall” on 30 October 1995. Three decades on, it’s still one of the most enduring songs in modern music. Before they played the track Liam asked the crowd to “Wish this baby happy birthday, 30 years Wonderwall.” For many in the crowd, it was a full-circle moment. Fans who grew up with Oasis now singing alongside their kids as “Wonderwall” rang out across the packed stadium, showing just how deeply the music continues to resonate.
The biggest reunion in rock has become a unifying celebration of a band whose influence has never faded. Oasis continue their Australian run this week with two more sold-out nights in Melbourne, before heading to Sydney for back-to-back shows on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 November.
Alongside the tour, and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of “Wonderwall”, Oasis have announced a limited edition (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? 7” Singles Box Set – a replica of the highly collectible 1996 CD cigarette-style box. The Box Set includes four 7” singles, featuring the 2014 remastered versions of “Wonderwall”, “Some Might Say”, “Roll With It”, and “Don’t Look Back In Anger”, along with their original B-sides. Released 12th December, it’s available for pre-order HERE.
