Croke‌ Park in Dublin was the place to be last night and tonight, as Oasis played the first two dates of their ‘Live ’25’ tour.It marks their first performance at the iconic venue ⁤since 2008, ⁤and the demand was clearly immense. So ​much so, that hundreds of fans gathered outside the stadium on August 17th, simply to experience the energy and sing along ⁤to the⁤ band’s anthems.

A clip shared by the band shows the devoted crowd ‍outside⁢ Croke Park passionately singing along to “Half The World Away,” a testament to the enduring power ⁢of Oasis’s music. The band performed the‍ same​ setlist for both nights, ⁣culminating in a rousing rendition ⁢of​ “Champagne Supernova.”

A Family Affair and a Moment of Reflection

The Dublin shows ⁤weren’t just a musical event; they were a deeply personal one for the Gallagher brothers. During⁢ the performance of “Stand⁢ By Me” on August 16th, Liam and Noel dedicated ‍the song to their mother, Peggy ​Gallagher, who was in attendance. This followed a previous dedication of the same⁢ song to Susan Boyle at ​an earlier concert in Edinburgh.

With both parents, Peggy and Thomas ‘Tommy’ Gallagher, having irish roots, the concerts held special significance. Liam further acknowledged this connection by dedicating “Roll With It” to his mother’s hometown, adding a layer ‌of heartfelt sentiment to the​ performance.

Adding a touch of characteristic‍ wit, Liam joked with the crowd before launching into “Some Might Say,” declaring, “I think I’m a Croke Park virgin! we haven’t played here before, have we?⁣ All I do ​know [is] ‍ this [is] the soberest I’ve been in Ireland‍ since I was about four or ​five or something like that.”
