Sydney, Get Ready for Oasis
Oasis fever swept Melbourne last week as the band closed out an unforgettable set of three shows, performing to nearly 200,000 fans. These sold-out concerts at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium delivered everything fans had anticipated for over two decades: iconic anthems, energetic sing-alongs, and the unique connection between Oasis and their crowd, attracting thousands from across Australia and beyond.
Many fans proudly wore the band’s classic colors and the signature three stripes, with numerous attendees sporting merchandise from the ‘Live ’25’ pop-up store in Melbourne Central, witnessing the best version of Oasis to date.
Mixed Moments and High Praise
The opening night faced some challenges, including a concertgoer releasing flares into the crowd. Despite this, Rolling Stone AU/NZ rated the show 5/5, declaring the 2025 Oasis “the best we’ve seen.”
“The Gallaghers are back where they belong,” the review noted. “Noel’s guitar might be the best a Gibson Les Paul has ever sounded – a beautiful, warm, organic crunch. Meanwhile, Liam’s at the top of his game. He doesn’t go for every high note in ‘Some Might Say’ or ‘Slide Away’, but he somehow sounds better than he did 20 years ago.”
It’s clear that this Oasis differs from the band of Knebworth 1996, a period when they were both creating their legend and courting notoriety in real-time.
Looking Ahead to Sydney
As Melbourne celebrates, fans are turning their attention to the upcoming Sydney shows, with set times now announced and excitement building for another memorable Oasis experience.
