Oasis Unveils Live “Slide Away” from Reunion Tour Opening Night
Oasis Makes a Triumphant Return
After years of anticipation and sibling disagreements, Oasis has finally reunited, launching their highly anticipated ‘Live ‘25’ tour on July 4th. The tour kicked off with an impressive performance at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, marking the first of two major nights in the city. This event signaled the beginning of a 41-date tour across the UK and Ireland, with plans to extend into North America.
New Music and Exciting Releases
In conjunction with the tour, Oasis has released a live recording of the beloved track "Slide Away," a deep cut from their album Definitely Maybe. This recording was captured during the opening night in Cardiff and showcases the band’s enduring connection with their fans.
The release features eye-catching artwork depicting fans engaging in the “poznan,” a celebratory bounce popularized by Manchester City supporters. Liam Gallagher encouraged this lively display during the performance of "Cigarettes & Alcohol," emphasizing the band’s strong ties to their football roots.
A Setlist Full of Classics
Oasis delivered a memorable 23-song setlist, packed with iconic hits from the ‘90s. Tracks like “Live Forever,” “Wonderwall,” “Supersonic,” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” left the audience ecstatic. This live version of "Slide Away" marks Oasis’s first new official release since the 2009 EP Falling Down. The band has occasionally released demos and live recordings since then, including 2020’s “Don’t Stop,” a previously unreleased Noel Gallagher song.
Exciting Future Plans
The buzz surrounding Oasis continues with the announcement of a comprehensive box set. This collection includes all seven studio albums along with the 1998 B-side compilation The Masterplan, now available on CD and vinyl.
For those curious about the band’s ability to stay together during this tour, all signs point to a successful run. Fans in Australia will also get their chance to experience the excitement in October and November.
“Slide Away (Live from Cardiff)” is now available on all streaming platforms.
