‘¡Viva México!’ Oasis Thrills as Band Launches Latin American Leg of Reunion Tour
The Gallagher brothers performed the first of two sold-out shows at Mexico City's GNP Seguros Stadium on Sept. 12.

Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher reunited in Mexico after 17 years on Friday (Sept. 12), and the long wait to see Oasis live again was worth every moment — with the differences that led to their 2009 breakup behind replaced by a celebration of pure, unfiltered rock and roll.
The British band’s inaugural stop in Latin America on their highly successful Oasis Live ’25 reunion tour — which launched in Cardiff, Wales, on July 4 — drew a crowd of 65,000 fans at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros, according to promoter OCESA. It was the first of two sold-out nights at the iconic venue, which witnessed a majestic two-hour performance featuring songs that have become generational anthems globally.
“¡Viva México!”, shouted frontman Liam Gallagher visibly moved, as he walked onto the stage hand in hand with his brother Noel. “It’s good to be back!”

As has been the tradition during their reunion tour, Oasis was joined on stage by a cardboard cutout of Spanish soccer manager Pep Guardiola, who leads Manchester City. But here, they gave it a Mexican touch by placing a traditional charro sombrero on it.

They've had that lifesize cardboard cutout on stage at every show (at least since Manchester's Heaton Park, the second venue of the tour), but I'm still seeing some online fans ask who the guy behind Noel is. Cute that they added the sombrero for Mexico City.
Video of Some Might Say below - and you'll see Liam gesturing about problems hearing himself and the band properly, and he immediately headed back to talk to their soundman. I've seen reports from fans that at one point he was so upset he threw the mic into the crowd, but I haven't seen video of that yet, or run across a news story mentioning it.
Oasis posted this compilation video of their drone show over Mexico City two nights ago. They've used the drones to form their logo over every city on this tour, the night before the first show.
