UPDATE: Oasis has taken Dublin by storm with a triumphant live show on August 16, 2023, marking their first performance in Ireland since 2009. The iconic band, led by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, drew a staggering 60,000 fans to Croke Park, igniting an atmosphere that felt like a homecoming celebration.
Fans flooded the streets of Dublin in anticipation, as pubs hosted tribute bands and trivia contests leading up to the concert. Many wore Oasis-themed merchandise, including shirts featuring the iconic “sunshyyiiiiine” logo, while local vendors sold bucket hats and other memorabilia. The city transformed into a vibrant homage to the band, reminiscent of a World Cup host city mixed with a music festival.
The atmosphere reached a fever pitch as fans gathered at Croke Park for the much-anticipated concert. After warm-up acts from Britpop legends Cast and Richard Ashcroft, Oasis took the stage to a raucous welcome. The band kicked off their 23-song set with crowd favorites, showcasing hits from their early albums like Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?
