CARDIFF, Wales (AP) — Oasis ended a 16-year hiatus on Friday with a punchy, powerful trip through one of Britpop’s greatest songbooks, kicking off a reunion tour in Cardiff, Wales to a crowd ecstatic for the band’s 1990s hits.

Oasis reunited for the first time in well over a decade as they performed their first two gigs at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff as part of their reunion tour. Thousands of lucky fans packed into the stadium on Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5, to witness Oasis' first gig together for 16 years.

The show was the first of the Live ‘25 tour, which will run for 41 dates - 19 of which are in the U.K. and Ireland. The group will perform Saturday night (July 5) in Cardiff before heading to Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin; the tour will then run through North America, Asia and Australia and conclude in São Paolo, Brazil, on Nov. 23.
