Emotional Oasis fans could not hold back their tears as they finally witnessed Noel and Liam Gallagher reunite on stage for the first time in 16 years.
The brothers – whose infamous fallout meant the band disbanded – began their reunion tour with a series of shows at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff over the weekend.
Fans of the iconic band were blown away after the reunion tour kicked off on Friday, as the brothers delivered an electrifying set, packed with energy and nostalgia.
On Saturday night, Noel, 58, and Liam, 52, continued their display of unity as they walked out on stage holding hands again for night two.
And it was clearly all too much for some fans, who sobbed as they made their great return – with fans dubbing it the ‘dads version’ of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
In videos that have racked up hundreds of thousands of views on social media, people shared footage of their boyfriends, fathers and fiancés getting emotional.
Filming the crowd, Anais Sykes wrote, in a video that has 500,000 views on TikTok: ‘Pov, Oasis was worth it to see the Dads crying.’

It comes after its been reported that Liam and Noel are taking extreme measures throughout the reunion tour, to avoid another rift.
Although the boys have come back together and put on a united front after 16 years, it’s claimed they are staying in separate hotels half an hour away from each other in order to ensure they keep the peace.
The lead up to the gig ‘has all been carefully orchestrated,’ with a source saying ‘they don’t want to over-expose themselves to each other.’
‘Having separate residences is the best option so they can relax in their own space,’ they told The Sun.
‘They stayed in separate locations outside the city around half an hour away from each other.’
The brothers are ‘happy families at the moment’ and reportedly want to keep it that way.

It’s claimed he wants ‘eight hours of sleep every night’ and they’re avoiding partying completely to make it work.
Meanwhile, fans and celebs alike are thrilled that the brothers are back, with David Beckham amongst the list of people who have left a comment of support to Liam and Noel.
Under a photo Liam shared on his Instagram from Friday’s night one show, David wrote: ‘Good to have you back man’ with three heart emojis.
