It was the penultimate track on their 23-song set list in Cardiff
Liam Gallagher changed the lyrics to an Oasis classic in Cardiff on Friday night as the band kicked off their long-awaited reunion tour at the Principality Stadium. One of the band’s most famous songs, Wonderwall, was the penultimate track on their 23-song set list, performed as part of the encore.
And as he belted out the immortal line: “There are many things that I would like to say to you”, he added: “But I don’t speak Welsh.” The humorous ad-lib was just one of his interactions with the crowd on the evening which drew a smile.
Earlier in the evening, in a nod to the huge prices fans had to fork out to be at the show, he’d asked the fans in the crowd: “You alright, you all having a good time? Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for the ticket?”
During the final song of the evening, Champagne Supernova, Liam thanked Oasis fans for “putting up with them”.
He said: “Right then beautiful people this is it. Nice one for putting up with us over the years.
“We are hard work, I get it. Champagne Supernova, nice one for coming out.”
Fans filtering out of the stadium last night gave glowing reviews to our reporters, describing it as “the best gig ever”, “ten out of ten” and “worth every penny.”
Others described it as “absolutely amazing” and “an emotional, out of body experience”.
Critics also lauded the performance of the band, with five star reviews given across the board.
Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year.
However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot. Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly.
Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.
