As the Wonderwall stars take to Wembley Stadium in London this week, Mark Jefferies from The Mirror gives his opinion on Oasis’ triumphant reunion in Manchester.
Midway through the last Oasis concert in Manchester in 2025, there was a lot of love in the air. Before playing yet another hit, Noel Gallagher said: “The eyes of the world have been on you. Manchester, you’ve done yourself proud.”
And brother Liam said, “We adore you, we adore you,” toward the show’s conclusion. I appreciate you making this possible.
Five nights at Heaton Park, five star reviews from fans and critics across the board. Social media filled with many people saying they had seen the best gig of their life, regardless if it was the blazing sunshine of the first weekend and the rain of the final night.

It was a week-long homecoming party that was almost unimaginable.
As they clear up the trash on Gallagher Hill and there were a few disturbances there, the council may not feel as good.
The Gallaghers even showed up for free, giving out free T-shirts to the viewers who were watching the show.
Before and after performances, drinkers occupied Manchester Town Center.
However, having attended both weekends there, it occurred to me that one thing was missing, and that was the fear or aggravation.
In the early 2000s, I saw Oasis at Finsbury Park because the crowd was obscene and it seemed like a possibility of trouble or injury. I was able to get away with drinking cups full of mud and urine throughout the performance.
The Gallaghers could be feisty on stage on other occasions when significant fights broke out, which was far from romanticizing the show. Noel did wish ill on fans at a Brighton concert when we sang the wrong song back to him, which seems crazy.
Noel is a man of few words who plays music on stage these days. Unless you are a Manchester United fan who opposes doing the Poznan, the words are all positive.
The atmosphere has been euphoric, family-friendly celebrations, and there hasn’t been much alcohol or other anger-causing behavior in Cardiff and Manchester so far.
May it continue for a while. Although it’s a big ask, Wembley will hopefully become another celebration and London fans will make themselves proud like the thousands of people who live there.
