Oasis will take to the stage tonight at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff to begin an mammoth, 41-night stadium tour, estimated to earn Liam and Noel Gallagher a cool £50 million each. The Mancunian brothers last performed together in 2009, but have patched-up their differences for the Oasis Live ’25 tour, which will visit Ireland for two, sold-out dates at Croke Park in August.

In this episode of Newstalk Daily, Ciara Doherty and her guests return to the Britpop era, recalling the band’s massive run of hits in the mid-1990s, the rivalry with Blur, the endless rows between the Gallagher siblings, and the reasons why their music reached a global audience. They also consider whether or not this reunion tour is a shameless money-grabbing effort, designed to pay-off divorce debts or bulk-up their retirement funds!

Ciara’s guests are Simon Maher, founder of 8Radio.com, and Oasis uber-fan Shauna O’Reilly from the Today FM Breakfast Show.
