Oasis are just an hour away from their first Irish gig in 16 years. Noel and Liam Gallagher are tonight headlining Dublin’s Croke Park, joined by Cast and Richard Ashcroft.
The once warning brothers will perform at the national stadium tonight, with a second concert tomorrow – playing their biggest hits to around 164,000 die-hard fans. But Dublin also holds a special place in the Gallagher’s hearts.
The Mancunian brothers have spoken about their ties to Ireland through their Irish-born parents, Peggy and Thomas. Dublin is the fifth stop on the mammoth Oasis Live’25 tour, having already performed in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh. After tomorrow’s show, they’ll have a short break before heading over to Canada to complete the rest of the world leg of the tour.
But before taking to the stage, Noel had hoped to have a quiet drink in the city; however, he was mobbed by fans, but made time to chat to them and sign memorabilia. The concert comes just days after a fan who had travelled from Italy to see the band perform in Edinburgh sadly died just hours before the concert.
C’mon – it’s time!
Richard Ashcroft finishes his set

Peter Crouch joins the crowd!
Former footballer Peter Crouch is attending the concert tonight. The ex-England striker posed for a picture with Jack Schiavo, who plays alongside Liam’s son, Gene, in the band Villanelle. Sharing the snap on Instagram, Jack wrote: “Humbled,” while tagging Peter.
Earlier today, Crouchy made a very mad dash after covering Aston Villa v Newcastle. As the commentating was wrapping up, he could be seen moving from the TNT desk at Villa Park. Lynsey Hipgrave said: “That’s about all we’ve got time for, oh actually sorry my producer is just telling me we have got a lot more time, he said we can carry on talking.”
Peter replied: “Lynsey, you know I’m going to Oasis tonight, it’s not happening.” Lynsey added: “Where are you going?” Before Peter explained that he had a flight to catch.
Drink prices inside Croke Park
If you’re fancying a drink at the concerts, fear not, we have the prices!
For those wanting to sip on Guinness, it will set you back €7.35. Meanwhile, a pint of Rockshore will be €8. But if something a bit fruiter is your type of thing, a cider will also cost €8 a pint.
Where to get a post-gig pint?
Dublin is filled with plenty of pubs and bars to enjoy a post-gig drink – but where’s the nearest?
The streets of the Irish capital are to be flooded with fans for hours after the concerts, but luckily, there are a few places to visit if you’re looking to carry on the night.
Our sister paper, the Irish Mirror, has rounded up the best venues:
Peggy Gallagher sold home in Ireland just after reunion news
Liam and Noel’s beloved mum, Peggy, sold her home in Charlestown, Co Mayo, just after her two sons announced they had put their feud behind them and reunited.
What time are Oasis on stage?
Noel, Liam, Bonehead, Andy Bell and Gem Archer are due on stage in less than an hour.
They are scheduled to walk out at 8:15, to F***in’ in the Bushes before belting out Hello. Their set is set to last for two hours, and each night on previous dates, they have finished on time.
Noel mobbed by fans
Noel had hoped for a quiet drink at Brady’s Clockhouse in Maynooth but was left surrounded by fans.
He didn’t seem fazed, though, as the Britpop icon posed for photos with fans and signed autographs. An Oasis fan who bumped into Noel in the pub described him as “bang on” and “like a normal lad”.
Ryan King managed to meet Noel before he returned to his hotel – and even secured an autograph on his bucket hat. Speaking to the Irish Mirror, he revealed: “The security told us to leave him but he said ‘Come on’ and he signed a T-shirt, a hat and a few vinyls for the lads.
