Liam Gallagher took a moment to thank fans for their support before he performed the final song of the night at the first Oasis reunion gig on Friday
Oasis tour: Liam says ‘nice one for putting up with us over years’
Liam Gallagher thanked the 70,000 fans who attended Oasis’ first reunion gig in Cardiff for ‘putting up with them over the years’. The singer and his brother Noel had been at loggerheads for 16 years, with fans giving up on the idea that Oasis would reunite for another tour.
However, they shocked fans when they made the announcement last year that they would be embarking on an epic tour all over the world. Cardiff was blessed with the very first gig on Friday night, with the brothers holding hands and raising them to the sky as they waltzed onto the stage.

The likes of Champagne Supernova, Supersonic, Slide Away and more were performed tonight, with Noel pausing for a few bars while singing Half The World Away to take in the scenes in front of him.
After leaving the stage at the end of the night, fans stomped and cheered as they demanded an encore.
They returned to sing the likes of The Masterplan, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall before Liam thanked fans for supporting them.
He said: “Thank you, beautiful people. This is it. Nice one for putting up with us over the years. We are hard work, we get it.” He briefly paused before announcing the final song – Champagne Supernova.
“Nice one for coming out,” he added with his arms, as per usual, behind his back.
Liam made several cheeky comments throughout the night. Earlier, he appeared to indicate someone in the audience, he said: “I see you’re still on the glue down here then?”

Referencing the dynamic price surges, Liam at one point asked the crowd: “Are you having a good time? Is it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?”
The hotly-anticipated tour was the culmination of months of speculation, a feverish ticket sale and a long 16 year wait from fans.
A shock comeback was unveiled in August 2024, with the band declaring: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
A chaotic rush for tickets followed with 17 dates announced across London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Dublin before the band announced more concerts in North America, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Chile and Argentina – giving fans around the world the chance to hear the hits live again.
