“The atmosphere outside Tokyo Dome was electric, with the arena quickly filling for the first of the band’s two-night engagement in Japan.” “Then, right on schedule, the house lights plunged into darkness. The visceral, heavy intro of ‘F**kin’ in the Bushes’ ripped through the colossal speakers, instantly catapulting the tens of thousands of fans into a delirious frenzy.” “The audience, a tapestry of ages and genders, was unified, singing every lyric back at the stage.” “There was a profound, shared awareness in the arena: this was a historic, once-in-a-generation moment.” “Two incandescent hours later, the final, soaring chords of ‘Champagne Supernova’ faded across Tokyo Dome… they shared a spontaneous laugh and a hug… the crowd erupted in a final, deafening cheer.”
“The anticipation was a palpable force, a silent tremor in the atmosphere. Tonight, the entire venue was the main character.” “At 6:00 PM, the lights went down. The familiar intro of ‘Fucking in the Bushes’ blared through the speakers, followed by Liam’s signature snarl: ‘Hello.’” “When that iconic guitar riff hit, we all jumped. The dome shook. Liam looked pleased; our Poznan was a success.” “Then, during ‘Half the World Away,’ something happened… When he finally began to sing, his voice was thick with emotion.” “After the final note… they embraced. A long, powerful, proper hug. The roar from the crowd was deafening.”
“Thousands gathered outside Tokyo Dome under fittingly Mancunian weather this past weekend ahead of Oasis’ first concerts in Japan since 2009.” The “The two sold-out shows, held Saturday and Sunday… Roughly 55,000 fans packed Tokyo Dome each night, some traveling from abroad to witness the Britpop heavyweights’ return.”
“When Oasis took to the stage on Oct 25 for their first concert in Japan in 16 years, the roar that filled Tokyo Dome was not only from fans who had followed the English rock band since the 1990s.” “Among the 50,000-strong crowd were also thousands of younger listeners who had discovered the Britpop legends… through music streaming services.” “As Oasis members Noel and Liam Gallagher appeared on the stage with their hands held aloft… the Dome erupted.”
Oasis have once again come out on top in Radio X’s annual listener poll, with “Live Forever” voted the greatest British song of all time in the station’s newly expanded Best Of British 500. Radio X announced the result on 6 April 2026, confirming that its audience had placed the 1994 Oasis classic at number one after the poll was widened from a traditional top 100 into a full top 500 for the first time.
Oasis proved once again why their reunion is being talked about as one of the biggest live music events in decades, as Night Two in Melbourne delivered a blistering, emotional, and often euphoric performance that somehow managed to raise the bar even higher than the opening night.
In a candid interview ahead of the ongoing tour, Noel Gallagher opened up about how fulfilling it has been to be reunited with his younger brother Liam, calling it “great” to be back in a band together and admitting he’d “forgotten how funny he was.”
