Oasis reunion: Gallagher brothers take to stage for first time in 16 years

That's it for our live coverage tonight - thank you for following along. 

Oasis kicked off their long-awaited reunion tour in Cardiff, reuniting on stage for the first time in 16 years. 

Noel and Liam Gallagher swaggered onto stage holding hands before waving at fans inside the Principality Stadium and launching straight into Hello. 

They ended the night with Champagne Supernova, before sharing a high five and a brief hug and walking off-stage. 

In between, they performed 21 songs, joked about the price of tickets, played the maracas and threw a tambourine into the crowd. 

There was jumping, singing, dancing and pints being thrown throughout the show, and by the end of the night, fans said it was worth every penny. 

Here's what some of the fans told Paste BN after the show...

The band will be back in Cardiff tomorrow for another show before heading to Manchester next Friday. 

You can scroll back through the blog to read live updates from the show as it happened and we'll catch you next time.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted another "celebrity" on stage with Oasis tonight. 

The band were joined by a cardboard cut-out of long-running Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

The figure was donning a Man City scarf and sat behind an amp decorated with the football club's badge. 

The Gallagher brothers are huge fans of the club, which wished them luck before the show earlier today. 

Oasis will be back at Cardiff's Principality Stadium tomorrow, before heading to Manchester next Friday. 

Here's a look at all their upcoming tour dates...

Now that the show's over, let's take a look back at all the songs Oasis played tonight. 

The group performed a total of 23 tracks, including most of their hits and best-known songs.

The band did not play any new material or cover songs, as expected.

Oasis arrived on stage just after 8.15pm, almost exactly on schedule, and finished just before 10.20pm.

The big question now is: Will they mix it up for the other shows on their tour? Or will the group stick to the tunes, and the order, as below?

Our arts and entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer has been with the crowd watching Oasis inside the Principality Stadium all night. 

As the show comes to an end, here's her first reaction to the band's performance... 

"It was incredible. I'm not a massive Oasis fan but tonight they sounded absolutely brilliant. They sounded like they certainly aren't getting on [in age] in terms of their music. 

"Never before has the body language of two brothers been studied quite so intensely. They came on stage tonight holding hands. They played their hearts out, and the crowd absolutely sang their hearts out.

"They have absolutely delivered value for money." 

She stops to speak to two fans, Anna and Andy, as they leave the show to get their thoughts. 

"Absolutely incredible, like the most authentic, pure thing I have ever seen. Timing a trip to the bar or going to the loo was hard because every song was amazing," Andy says. 

Anna adds: "As we were walking out, I heard someone say they would pay £10,000 to see them and I think that says it all." 

As the night comes to a close, Oasis pick Champagne Supernova as their final song of the night. 

Our culture and entertainment reporter Gemma Peplow says: "A giant blow-up champagne bottle, Supermarket Sweep style, is being passed around the crowd, which is just a mass of people singing back.

"And there it is, at the end, as Noel puts his guitar down."

Liam and Noel then share the briefest of hugs and that's it. On to the next show...

Noel follows with Don't Look Back In Anger, and the screens fill with Manchester bees in reference to the arena bombing and how the song became the sound of hope and defiance for the city afterwards.

Another flare has been lit in the crowd, and everyone is singing along.  

Noel urges the crowd to "sing it louder" and I think there are probably more than a few tears being shed. 

Wonderwall now, and Liam tells the crowd that "there are many things I would like to say to you, but I don't speak Welsh". 

"Right then, beautiful people, this is it", he says. "Nice one for putting up with us over the years." 

I think most people here would agree it's been worth it.

After 16 years of feuding, fans were eagerly waiting to see how Liam and Noel Gallagher would take the stage for their first show. 

The brothers walked out hand in hand to an adoring crowd, before taking up their positions with guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs between them. 

Watch the moment below... 

The first show of the Oasis reunion tour appears to be over - or is it? 

They say they are performing their last song Rock n Roll Star, before leaving the stage, with Liam Gallagher throwing his tambourine into the crowd. 

But they quickly return, with Noel Gallagher shouting out all the other members of the band. 

Then he says: "This one is for all the people in their twenties that haven't seen us before, who've kept this s*** going for the last f****** 20 years."

The band now play Slide Away and there are a couple of flares going off in the standing crowd. 

"Don't know, don't care, all I know is you can take me there," Liam spits. 

This is quite a moment. Then we hear the strings of Whatever and the sing-along continues. 

After this, Live Forever. Three huge songs, one after the other. And it's not even the encore.
