Oasis Reignites São ⁣Paulo with Explosive Return – November 22,​ 2025

São Paulo, ‍Brazil ‍- Oasis delivered a resounding confirmation‌ of their enduring power on November 22, 2025, with the first of ​two sold-out shows at‍ Morumbi Stadium. The concert, part of the “Live ’25” ⁤tour, drew nearly 70,000 fans, marking a⁢ significant increase from their 2009 São Paulo performance which hosted around 15,000 attendees. The total attendance for both Morumbi shows is projected to reach almost 140,000.

The energy ‌was palpable from the opening chords of “Quiesce” ⁢and “Morning Glory.” The‌ audienceS immediate and enthusiastic response – beers raised, fans leaping in the stands, and spontaneous choir-like singalongs ⁢-⁢ established the celebratory tone for the‍ 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 ​split.

The band’s lineup featured original‍ members Liam and Noel Gallagher,​ 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 ​on bass, ‍and Joey ‌Waronker on drums.

The setlist heavily focused on the band’s‍ formative years, drawing⁢ almost entirely from ⁢their first three albums: Definately Maybe (1994), (What’s the Story) Morning ⁣Glory? (1995), and Be Here ⁢Now (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 ⁢of “Cigarettes & Alcohol” ‍that saw fans performing the “poznan”⁣ – 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 the⁤ 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 with​ a loud,layered,and distorted⁤ sound.

Critics noted the band’s unique sonic duality: ⁢a punk-influenced, guitar-driven intensity exemplified by tracks like‌ “Supersonic,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star,” ‌and “Bring It On Down,” contrasted with the emotive power of Noel’s ballads, including “Talk⁤ 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’s‍ impact as the largest rock band to achieve success while signed to an autonomous label.Their music, rooted in the everyday ⁢experiences of a generation – encompassing themes of drugs, violence, football, and youthful ambition – continues to resonate with audiences. ⁢ ​The performance highlighted the enduring⁢ strength of a band dynamic, demonstrating how collective energy can amplify musical impact ⁢in ​a landscape increasingly dominated by solo⁤ artists.

With the “Live ’25” tour concluding on November 24th⁤ at Morumbi Stadium, speculation is rife regarding its potential extension, though, as always with Oasis,⁣ the future remains uncertain.
