- Liam and Noel Gallagher showed onstage rapport, including a hand-in-hand entrance and lighthearted exchanges noted by multiple outlets.
- The two-hour performance stuck to the tour’s fixed 23-song run, closing with encores of “The Masterplan,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Wonderwall,” and “Champagne Supernova.”
- Cage the Elephant opened with an energetic set ahead of Oasis’s return.
- North American dates are limited to a few cities—after Chicago the tour heads to East Rutherford, Pasadena and Mexico City—and reviews ranged from celebratory to critiques of a tightly scripted, nostalgia-driven show.
