Oasis Reignites Sรฃo โฃPaulo with Explosive Return – November 22,โ 2025
Sรฃo Paulo, โBrazil โ- Oasis delivered a resounding confirmationโ of their enduring power on November 22, 2025, with the first of โtwo sold-out shows atโ Morumbi Stadium. The concert, part of the “Live ’25” โคtour, drew nearly 70,000 fans, marking aโข significant increase from their 2009 Sรฃo Paulo performance which hosted around 15,000 attendees. The total attendance for both Morumbi shows is projected to reach almost 140,000.
The energy โwas palpable from the opening chords of “Quiesce” โขand “Morning Glory.” Theโ audienceS immediate and enthusiastic response – beers raised, fans leaping in the stands, and spontaneous choir-like singalongs โข-โข established the celebratory tone for theโ evening. This fervent reception underscored the continued relevance and growing popularity of oasis’s music over the band’s 18 years of activity, plus an additional 16 years of individual pursuits following their โsplit.
The band’s lineup featured originalโ members Liam and Noel Gallagher,โ alongside guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, who sported a Brazilian national team t-shirt during his return to touring after treatment for cancer. Completing the ensemble were Gem Archer on guitar, Andy Bell โon bass, โand Joey โWaronker on drums.
The setlist heavily focused on the band’sโ formative years, drawingโข almost entirely from โขtheir first three albums: Definately Maybe (1994), (What’s the Story) Morning โฃGlory? (1995), and Be Here โขNow (1997), alongside B-sides from that era. This selection resonated deeply with the audience,who sang along to nearly every song,culminating in a spirited rendition โขof “Cigarettes & Alcohol” โthat saw fans performing the “poznan”โฃ – a jump with backs to the stage – inspired by supporters of Manchester City,the Gallagher brothers’ beloved football club.
The stage presentation was deliberately streamlined, prioritizing the band’s performance. A large screen displayed images of theโค band in action, occasionally featuring animation, but remained focused on showcasing the live energy. Liam Gallagher engaged with the crowd intermittently,but the emphasis remained firmly on the music itself,delivered withโ a loud,layered,and distortedโค sound.
Critics noted the band’s unique sonic duality: โขa punk-influenced, guitar-driven intensity exemplified by tracks likeโ “Supersonic,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star,” โand “Bring It On Down,” contrasted with the emotive power of Noel’s ballads, including “Talkโค Tonight,” “Half the World Away,” and “Little by Little.” The synergy between the brothers was notably striking, with Noel’s compositions gaining added weight in Liam’s vocal delivery and Liam finding perfect expression within the framework of his brother’s songwriting.
The concert served as a powerful reminder of Oasis’sโ impact as the largest rock band to achieve success while signed to an autonomous label.Their music, rooted in the everyday โขexperiences of a generation – encompassing themes of drugs, violence, football, and youthful ambition – continues to resonate with audiences. โข โThe performance highlighted the enduringโข strength of a band dynamic, demonstrating how collective energy can amplify musical impact โขin โa landscape increasingly dominated by soloโค artists.
With the “Live ’25” tour concluding on November 24thโค at Morumbi Stadium, speculation is rife regarding its potential extension, though, as always with Oasis,โฃ the future remains uncertain.
