Sydney, Get Ready for Oasis

Sydney, Get Ready for Oasis

Oasis fever swept through Melbourne this past week as the band concluded an unforgettable trio of shows, performing to nearly 200,000 fans. The sold-out concerts at Marvel Stadium delivered everything longtime fans had been waiting for: iconic anthems, energetic sing-alongs, and the undeniable chemistry between Oasis and their audience, attracting thousands from across Australia and beyond.

Many fans proudly wore their favorite band colors and the classic three stripes, with numerous attendees sporting merchandise from the ‘Live ’25’ pop-up store in Melbourne Central, experiencing the best version of Oasis seen in years.

Highs and Highlights of the Melbourne Shows

Despite some challenges on opening night, including a concertgoer launching flares into the crowd, the band received glowing praise. Rolling Stone AU/NZ rated the performance 5 out of 5, stating the 2025 Oasis lineup is “the best we’ve seen.”

“The Gallaghers are back where they belong,” the review said.

Noel Gallagher’s guitar work stood out, delivering what was described as the best sound ever produced by a Gibson Les Paul—rich, warm, and organic. Liam Gallagher also impressed, showcasing vocal prowess that, while not hitting every high note in classics such as “Some Might Say” or “Slide Away,” sounded even stronger than two decades ago.

“The Oasis we see tonight isn’t the band of Knebworth 1996, when they were creating their legend – and their notoriety – in real-time.”

The band’s resurgence has reignited excitement, promising that Sydney will soon experience the same electrifying presence.
