The once-warring Gallagher brothers proved their years-long feud was well and truly behind them as they stepped out on stage hand-in-hand to kick off the show.

Throughout their set, they wowed fans with a whole litany of their top hits, including Some Might Way, Morning Glory and, of course, Wonderwall.

The thousands of fans packed into the stadium were overwhelmed by the momentous occasion as many were reduced to floods of tears, while celebrities including Danny Dyer, Vernon Kay and Rob Brydon also attended the epic night.

In fact, the show was so popular that even more eager fans crammed outside the stadium in the Welsh capital in a bid to listen to the sought-after set list after failing to nab tickets themselves.

The epic opening night certainly seemed to be worth the 16-year wait as concertgoers took to social media to laud Oasis for their ‘amazing’ and ‘lifechanging’ performance.

Kicking off the show, Liam and Noel walked out with their arms around each other in a sweet display of unity, before they proudly gazed on at the crowds, who erupted into rounds of deafening applause. 

‘Manchester vibes in the area,’ Liam said before kicking off the show with Hello, which serves as the opening track for their 1995 classic What’s The Story (Morning Glory).
