Oasis in Melbourne: euphoric reunion at Marvel Stadium, full setlist, set times, and what’s next for Sydney

Oasis roared back into Australia with a stadium-sized statement in Melbourne, launching the local leg of their reunion tour before a heaving Marvel Stadium crowd on Friday night. Twenty years since their last Australian shows together, the Gallagher brothers walked out to a wall of sound and delivered a two-hour run through the catalogue that raised a generation—hits, deep cuts, and the kind of mass singalong only this band can spark.

The vibe: swagger, banter, and a band in command

From the opening surge of guitars to the last ringing chords, the tempo rarely dipped. The brothers’ chemistry—once the tour’s biggest question—felt sharp and playful. Jokes flew, the band locked in, and those sky-scraping choruses did what they’ve always done: turned a stadium into a choir. Vintage Britpop fits dotted the stands—bucket hats, terrace jackets, retro stripes—alongside a sizeable contingent who’d never seen Oasis live before this tour.

Melbourne set times and support

Local heroes Ball Park Music opened with a tight, 45-minute set, drawing an early crush through the turnstiles and proving precisely why pairing a major headliner with an Australian act can supercharge a night out. Main set changeovers were brisk; house lights dropped again just after quarter to nine and the place kicked up a gear.

Melbourne schedule (night one):

• Gates: ~5:00 pm

• Support: ~7:15 pm

• Oasis: ~8:45 pm – 10:45 pm (approx. two hours)

The sequencing tells you everything: a front half built for momentum, a mid-show acoustic breather with Noel at the mic, and a closing stretch that stacks three generational anthems without breaking a sweat.

Crowd flashpoint: flare incident

Late in the encore, a flare was launched from within the stands. The frontman halted the moment to call it out—firmly but without derailing the night—before the band pushed on to the finish. Stadium staff moved quickly; the message for upcoming shows is clear: leave pyros at home. The music supplies the fire.

Why this reunion feels different

The production is big yet unfussy, the sound mix is muscular, and the band is drilled—veteran players flanking the core while keeping the grit intact. Most striking is the tone: less posture, more joy. The brothers’ on-stage détente unlocks what made these songs travel so far in the first place—melody, muscle, and a communal release that cuts across age lines.

Sydney details: dates, set times, tickets

The tour rolls to Accor Stadium next:

• Friday 7 November and Saturday 8 November

  • Gates: ~5:45 pm

  • Ball Park Music: 7:15 pm

  • Oasis: 8:45 pm – 10:45 pm (curfew ~11:00 pm)

A limited number of tickets remain across categories. Expect dynamic pricing on late releases and restricted-view seats to pop close to show day. If you’re hunting pairs, check staggered drops in the morning and again mid-afternoon.

Getting the most from the night (fans’ checklist)

• Arrive early. Security is thorough; you’ll want time for merch and to catch Ball Park Music’s full set.

• Dress for standing. You will be on your feet—plan footwear accordingly.

• Phone down for the big three. “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Wonderwall,” and “Champagne Supernova” are better sung than filmed.

• Mind the rules. No flares, no projectiles—stadium bans are real and instant.

If you’re rating the Melbourne opener

Call it a five-star return to a city that never stopped blasting these songs at house parties and on long drives. The band played like headliners who know exactly what they’re carrying and why it still matters. The pauses—those breaths before a chorus when 58,000 people lean forward—were as loud as the guitars.

What to watch for next

• Setlist wrinkles: The core of the 23 stays, but one or two slots may rotate; Sydney could see a late-show surprise.

• Ball Park Music glow-up: Watch the support’s streaming numbers spike—this is a career-sized audience for a beloved Australian act.

• Tour legs to come: With Australia now underway, eyes turn to the final run of dates and whether the good vibes push this reunion beyond 2025.

Oasis didn’t just revisit the past in Melbourne—they owned the present. If you’ve got a ticket for Sydney, bring your voice. If you don’t, keep checking the release windows. On this tour, nostalgia isn’t a costume; it’s a living, roaring thing—and for two hours a night, it’s louder than ever.
