Oasis is back! Liam and Noel Gallagher have officially kicked off their Live 25 tour in style in Cardiff.
The brothers joined band members Gem Archer, Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and Andy Bell on stage for a blistering hit-heavy set. Fans at the Principality Stadium were thrilled with a barrage of classic anthems from beginning to end.
After stepping on stage at 8.15pm to their 2000 track, F***in' in the Bushes, the band opened with their iconic track Hello and it was non stop bangers from there.

The brothers got straight into the hits, blasting out Oasis anthems in the Cardiff sunshine and thrilling more than 70,000 fans in the stadium, many of whom had been enjoying drinking in pubs around the venue all afternoon.
It was estimated more than 100,000 people travelled to Cardiff yesterday, with some hoping to get a last minute ticket or just to be there to celebrate in the pubs and bars as they partied late into the night with Oasis songs played on loop.
The hotly anticipated tour is the culmination of months of speculation, a feverish ticket sale,and a long, long 16-year wait from fans.
Oasis have not performed together since August 22 2009, when they played V Festival in Staffordshire, during their Dig Out Your Soul Tour. The band's next scheduled gig at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris on August 28, 2009 became the stuff of rock legend... for all the wrong reasons.
Backstage, as they waited to go on the brothers exchanged a series of blows before Liam is said to have gone for his brother while 'wielding his guitar like an axe.' Noel stormed out and was unable to be coaxed back round by their manager leaving the set unplayed.
After years of funny yet frustrating jibes from the brothers, fans thought a comeback would never happen. However in August last year wild rumours began to circulate before Oasis officially confirmed that Britpop dreams were coming true.
A feverish clash for tickets ensued with the tour selling out in 10 hours - with error messages and dynamic ticket pricing infuriated fans who missed out.
But those lucky enough to have snapped up the golden tickets will be heading out to see the band this summer in the UK and Ireland and beyond.
After two nights in Cardiff, Oasis will be heading home to Manchester’s Heaton Park, before moving on to London’s Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin’s Croke Par.
The group will then be packing their passports and heading to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America.
A movie, produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, is being made in conjunction with the reunion tour.
The rock band was led by lead guitarist Noel and his brother, lead vocalist Liam, during their 18 years together.
Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994.
