REVIEW: Oasis - Marvel Stadium, Melbourne

The lads are back, and Melbourne might never recover.
If there’s a higher energy setting on the human experience dial, Oasis just found it and snapped it clean off. I’ve genuinely never seen more chaos, joy, and bucket hats in one place in my entire life. It wasn’t a gig, it was a pilgrimage.
60,000+ strong at Marvel Stadium, and their first Melbourne show since 2005. Everyone was chomping at the bit.
Ball Park Music set the scene with a tight, punchy set that included all the hits. They had the crowd warm, loud, and ready for carnage.
Liam Gallagher strolled out like he owned the joint, and to be fair, he did. Cool, calm, and every bit the frontman we all pretend to be in the shower. Noel was shredding like a man who’s been waiting decades to remind everyone he’s the architect of anthems. The chemistry? Still frosty, still perfect. Exactly as it should be.
The setlist was a dream: Some Might Say, Roll With It, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Live Forever, Rock ’n’ Roll Star. Every song hit like a time machine and a shot of adrenaline rolled into one. And then that encore… Wonderwall into Champagne Supernova. Unreal. People were losing their minds.
Oasis aren’t just a band. They’re a movement. A mood. A lifestyle.
If you ever get the chance to see them live, don’t think, just go.. before they kill each other again.
