Setting the Scene
According to RTÉ Entertainment, the band again opened with Hello before rolling through a 23-song set heavy on classics.
The review described the performance as “a powerful display that left Croke Park in a daze,” highlighting Rock ’n’ Roll Star, Morning Glory, and Slide Away among the standout early numbers.

The staging and production remained identical to Night 1, but the crowd energy was noticeably heightened — RTÉ noted that the second night’s audience “sang louder, jumped higher, and turned the stands into one vast choir.”
Performance & Crowd
BreakingNews.ie confirmed that the setlist mirrored the opening night, including Wonderwall, Some Might Say, Supersonic, Don’t Look Back in Anger, and Champagne Supernova.
The outlet observed that “the band were great – the service was not,” referencing long queues for drinks and merchandise, but concluded that none of those issues “spoiled the atmosphere inside Croke Park.”

Liam’s interaction with the crowd was brief but warm. Between songs he simply nodded, raised a fist, and said “Nice one, Dublin,” prompting chants of his name.
Noel spoke little, focusing on playing, though fans responded loudly when he stepped forward for Talk Tonight and Half the World Away.
Live Forever again drew one of the night’s biggest reactions, with the entire pitch singing the final chorus unaccompanied.
Don’t Look Back in Anger closed the main set; the encore featured The Masterplan and Champagne Supernova, ending with fireworks above the Hogan Stand.
RTÉ described the finale as “a communal release – thousands of voices echoing through the north side of Dublin.”




Critical Response
RTÉ’s coverage concluded that Oasis “left Croke Park in a daze,” praising the atmosphere and the scale of the production.
Billboard, in its round-up of the Live ’25 shows, called the Croke Park concerts “a major moment in the reunion tour,” noting that the performances drew “massive crowds and strong reviews” across the Irish press.
Night 2 confirmed what Dublin already knew after the opener — that Oasis’s return to Ireland was one of the defining live events of 2025.
The songs, the sound, and the shared nostalgia filled every corner of Croke Park, marking another milestone in the band’s ongoing Live ’25 tour.
