Dreaming of an epic Oasis comeback concert? Check out our ideal setlist that’s sure to spark debate among fans!
As the echoes of ‘Champagne Supernova’ still ring in the hearts of music lovers, the anticipation for an Oasis concert in 2025 is growing ever louder! Imagine the live atmosphere filled with the iconic chords of Noel and Liam's creations—a nostalgic reunion that could rekindle the magic of the 90s. But what would an ideal setlist look like? Well, we’ve got some ideas, and not all fans are going to agree!
First up on our fantasy dream setlist is ‘The Swamp Song’, an underrated gem that could perfectly usher in the night with its euphoric build-up. Picture this: the lights dim and the fans erupt as that mesmerizing melody fills the arena. Gradually, it transitions seamlessly into the open riff of ‘Acquiesce’, similar to the electrifying performance back in Maine Road in 1996. This combination would undoubtedly set the tone for an unforgettable night—one that will have audiences singing and swaying right from the first note!
Following that explosive start, the setlist can take us on a journey through classics like ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’, and ‘Live Forever’. Subtle moments of nostalgia could be intertwined with new renditions of the band’s beloved songs, keeping the spirit alive while challenging listeners’ expectations. It would be a tightrope walk between fan favorites and deep cuts, encouraging even the casual listener to hum along, and giving die-hard fans the thrill of hearing something new yet familiar.
As the show progresses, how about treating the crowd to lesser-known tracks like ‘I Can See a Liar’ and ‘Cloudburst’? This would be the ultimate act of respect to hardcore fans who have followed the band's journey through the years. It’s a daring move, yet one that could leave them buzzing with excitement long after the final bow. And who can forget closing the set with ‘Songbird’, but instead of the traditional encore, imagine Liam leveraging that haunting tenor to lead a singalong in a surprising twist!
Fun Fact: Did you know that ‘The Swamp Song’ was one of the first tracks that Noel Gallagher composed for the original Oasis lineup? It has a unique place in their live shows and could make a remarkable comeback!
Another interesting tidbit: The atmosphere at Maine Road during that legendary 1996 concert is often cited as one of the highlights of Oasis's career, boasting an audience that knew every lyric by heart. Such memories add to the anticipation of what a 2025 concert could deliver!
