Oasis Release Triumphant Live ‘Wonderwall’ From Dublin Show

Oasis are on a glide path to wrapping up their brief run of U.S. reunion shows. After kicking things off on Aug. 28 at Chicago’s Soldier Field, then rocking more than 140,000 ecstatic, bucket hat-wearing fans during a double-down at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, the Gallagher brothers will hit the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. on Saturday (Sept. 6) and Sunday (Sept. 7).

But before that, the band shared the latest live track from their get back run on Thursday morning (Sept. 4) with the release of “Wonderwall (Live from Dublin, 15 August ’25).” Recorded last month during a double-down at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland on the first of two sold-out nights that saw them playing to more than 160,000 fans, the shows were the group’s first gigs in Ireland since 2009.

The recording opens with singer Liam Gallagher’s existential question: “Where the f–k would we all be without ‘Wonderwall?’ Where would we be? Selling carpets or some s–t like that.” Backed by brother Noel Gallagher’s acoustic guitar at the top, the recording is the perfect encapsulation of the energy and enthusiasm the group has been me with on their triumphant reboot, with the audience lustily singing along to every iconic line from the song that ran up to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1996, giving Oasis their highest charting song to date on the tally.

The new live “Wonderwall” joins a handful of other live songs they’re released so far, including: “Bring It On Down (Live from Edinburgh, 9 August ‘25),” “Slide Away (Live from Cardiff, 4 July ‘25),” “Cigarettes & Alcohol (Live from Manchester, 11 July ‘25),” and “Little By Little (Live from London, 2 August ‘25).” 

Oasis are 22 dates into the 41-show tour that nobody thought would ever happen given the Gallaghers’ legendarily fractious relationship. Instead of the old rancor and unpredictability, so far the tour has been all hugs, hand-holding and pithy quips from Liam, with fans reveling in the joy of seeing the band roar back in top form and conquer the U.S. on a scale they never achieved during their initial late 1990s-early 2000’s run.

After the L.A. shows, the tour will move on to two nights in Mexico City (Sept. 12-13) and another pair of gigs at Wembley Stadium in London before moving on to South Korea and Japan in late October and then Australia and South America in November.
