Oasis returned to the stage after a 16-year hiatus, but some fans were disappointed that one song was left off the setlist

The pioneering Britpop band’s world tour — marking the first time famously feuding brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have played together since 2009 — kicks off on Friday night in Cardiff, Wales, at Principality Stadium. Richard Ashcroft from the Verve is the opening act alongside Liverpool-based band Cast.

Oasis are back. Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher performed to 70,000 fans at Cardiff's Principality Stadium as they kicked off their long-awaited comeback tour on Friday 4 July. Our music correspondent Mark Savage said the performance "blew off the cobwebs and swept away the doubters" in his review of the night.

Noel also took the opportunity to honour Oasis co-founder Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, who joined the Gallaghers on stage for the first time in over a decade and a half, with Noel expressing his admiration by calling him: "This f***ing uber-legend here Bonehead".

I was one of the lucky 60-odd thousand or so fans who can say "I was there" at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Friday night. And what a truly special moment it was for any Oasis fan, heck, for any fan of live music, to witness the return of the Gallagher brothers on stage and back at the peak of their rock 'n' roll powers.

The band brought the long-awaited show in Cardiff to a close with Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova.
