Oasis return to Dublin with big hits after 16 years

Oasis delivered their first Irish concert in 16 years at Croke Park in Dublin. Noel and Liam Gallagher headlined the show, with Cast and Richard Ashcroft supporting. On stage, Liam shouted a line to the crowd and the band ran through a set that included Hello and Roll With It. He also paid tribute to his mother by performing Stand By Me. Earlier, Liam’s sister-in-law posted a message about Dublin and Guinness, adding to the night’s family tone and local flavor. The event is set for a second night, with about 164,000 fans expected to attend across the two concerts.

The night underscores the long-lasting pull Oasis has in Ireland and beyond. Dublin holds a special place for the Gallagher brothers, and the large turnout signals a continued hunger for their classic hits. The social media posts from Anaïs Gallagher and the onstage moments around family add emotional texture to the show, alongside a notable moment when Liam critiqued a local council in Edinburgh from the stage. The concert pairs nostalgia with live spectacle, keeping the focus on the music even as public talk swirls around onstage remarks and family ties.

The show is less a debut and more a revival, proving that large-scale Oasis gigs still land with power. The onstage shout about political targets and the moments of personal tribute highlight how the band blends history with current sentiment. This mix makes the night feel both timeless and immediate, a rare feat for rock nostalgia acts.

Public reactions to onstage politics and family messages can shape a concert’s legacy as much as its set list. The two-night run in Dublin leverages a strong fan base while inviting scrutiny of offstage statements and media posts. That dynamic could influence future tours and the way audiences remember this return action.

Highlights

Time will tell if memory and new audience energy drive the next phase of Oasis' live career.
