Noel and Liam, who have only been snapped together twice since announcing the tour almost a year ago, went straight into their hits as 70,000 fans cheered in the stadium.

It was estimated more than 100,000 people travelled to Cardiff yesterday, with some hoping to get a last minute ticket or just to be there to celebrate in the pubs and bars as they parties late into the night with Oasis songs played on loop.

Super fans Lachlan Weekes and Jayden Helm, who travelled all the way from Australia to attend the concert in the Welsh capital, were among fans gathering ahead of the gig.

Mr Weekes said: "We've been planning it forever. We always said that if they got back together, we'd be at that first show." Mr Helm said: "We've been lifelong fans - we're 22 and 21, so haven't really had a chance to see them before.

"We always said it was worth it to come, we wouldn't miss it for the world," he added. "To take time off work to come over here, it's more than worth it." The pair also visited Manchester, where the band formed in 1991, stopping off at Heaton Park as part of their personal Oasis tour.

Alex Schuetz, an Oasis fan from Germany, said you could not travel far enough to see the band. "The first time I saw them was in 1997," he said.

"The last time was in Manchester 2009, just before they broke up. I even got a ticket for a small festival in Germany, and on the ferry to that festival, I heard they broke up. I was like, 'Oh my god' something was dying inside of me - it sounds a bit stupid, but it took me ages (to get over it)." He added: "I've come from Germany. You cannot travel far enough, I've been a fan since 1995.”
