After 15 years apart, Oasis have finally reunited, with the Gallagher brothers taking the stage together for a truly unforgettable tour. I survived the Ticketmaster war and managed to secure tickets, so I’m here to tell you what you missed from the biggest reunion in history. I attended the gig on the 12th of July at Heaton Park, Manchester, in the scorching sun, so I had the perfect excuse to purchase an official Oasis bucket hat!
To be honest, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better performance. With 23 back-to-back songs, the park was alive and buzzing with excitement. Fans were dressed in their Oasis shirts, and emotions were high as they sang along to every track, from ‘Cigarettes and Alcohol’ to ‘Acquiesce’. My absolute favourite song they performed was ‘Rock’N’Roll Star’, the sun had just begun to set, and the Jumbotron screen video was incredibly hypnotic. I’d recommend finding a clip online to just experience it.
The real showstopper was the encore, ending the show with absolute bangers ‘The Masterplan’, ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’, ‘Wonderwall’, and ending with ‘Champagne Supernova’ and a firework show.
Honestly, the reunion was worth the wait (and the price). I hope to see more from the band in the coming years and hopefully not news of another break up.
