Oasis, Marvel Stadium, Melbourne – Concert Review

Oasis returned to Australia for the first time in 20 years with Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium playing host to this first show for the Australian tour.

From the off, the set moved like a best-of in motion, opening with the kind of confident roar with ‘Hello’ that has defined Oasis since the mid-1990s. ‘Morning Glory’ just three songs in, reminded fans of what they had missed for the past tow decades.

Liam prowled the stage with his trademark scowl and beloved parka, while Noel’s guitar chimed with the crystalline hooks that made songs like Supersonic, Live Forever and Wonderwall anthems for Oasis. The night’s atmosphere was a mix of veteran devotion and younger curiosity, underlined why the band’s reunion has been one of the year’s most talked about music events.

There were moments of pure Gallagher mischief. Liam told an improbable yarn about meeting a kangaroo called Drew, who allegedly informed him Australians are “potheads” who spend too much time at “barbecue,” before “bouncing off,” an aside that earned both boos and belly laughs. He closed the anecdote with, “Only in Australia!” and then crashed straight into Cigarettes & Alcohol, the old bravado intact but now tempered by a certain ease that comes from years of touring.

Noel had his own string of quieter, pointed moments mid-set, delivering three songs back-to-back – Talk Tonight, Half The World Away and Little By Little. He dedicated Half The World Away to the Irish, while Liam’s brief nod to “Bring It On Down” came with a cheeky dedication to “the glue sniffer.” Later, a faulty guitar lead during Slide Away was fixed on the fly, adding a touch of live unpredictability that fans of Oasis have come to expect.

There was a brief, heartfelt moment when Liam dedicated Live Forever, though it was unclear who the dedication was for. Then, with the crowd already in full voice, he joked, “This is the last one. I’m old now and need to go to bed,” before charging into Rock ‘N’ Roll Star to close the main set in proper Oasis fashion.

The encore brought structure, humour and singalong euphoria. The band introductions led into The Masterplan, Noel’s showcase of quiet strength and melody. Don’t Look Back In Anger followed, as close to a religious moment as modern rock gets, with the entire stadium joining in.

Liam reappeared, grinning, saying that people had warned them not to come to Australia because “it’s hot” and “you don’t need a parka,” spreading his arms wide and declaring, “Well that’s bullshit.” From there, Wonderwall swept across the closed-roof stadium, every phone torch lit, before Champagne Supernova closed the night, complete with two flares lit in the crowd, creating a fiery end to an unforgettable evening.
