Sydney, Get Ready for Oasis
Oasis fever swept Melbourne last week as the band concluded an unforgettable trio of shows, drawing nearly 200,000 fans. The three sold-out performances at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium delivered everything fans had waited more than two decades for: iconic anthems, energetic sing-alongs, and the unmistakable connection between Oasis and their audiences, attracting thousands from across Australia and abroad.
Fans proudly wore their favourite band colours and the classic three stripes, many sporting merchandise from the ‘Live ’25’ pop-up store in Melbourne Central, experiencing the best version of Oasis seen in years.
Concert Highlights and Reviews
- The first show faced some challenges, such as a concertgoer launching flares into the crowd.
- Rolling Stone AU/NZ rated it 5/5, describing the 2025 Oasis as “the best we’ve seen.”
“The Gallaghers are back where they belong,” the review stated. “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.”
Despite changes over the years, the Oasis performing now is not the same band from Knebworth 1996, when they were forging their legend and notoriety in real time, but they continue to captivate audiences with their renewed energy.
Looking Ahead
Fans can now anticipate Oasis’ upcoming Sydney shows with high expectations following their Melbourne success.
Oasis has successfully reignited their legacy, delivering powerful performances that honor their past while showcasing their evolved sound and stage presence.
