Oasis Blast Chicago Fans With Sonic Overload at First U.S. Reunion Show: ‘We Invented All This Madness’
On a warm and balmy evening, Oasis delivered an unforgettable experience to the packed audience of 60,000+ fans at Soldier Field in Chicago on Thursday night (Aug. 28). As the band’s first stop in the United States as part of their highly anticipated reunion tour, it was clear that the Gallagher brothers have managed to recapture the magic that has long defined their legendary legacy.
The sold-out show showcased a two-hour and 23-song marathon setlist, with the band delivering an incredible sonic overload that left fans utterly mesmerized. Liam Gallagher’s punkish swagger remained intact, as he wore his signature shades throughout the performance. The brothers’ chemistry was palpable throughout the evening, with moments of subtle nods and playful jabs between them. It’s clear that any past tensions have been left behind.
From their iconic opening set to a Bowling Green, Ky.-based Cage the Elephant, Oasis set the tone for an unforgettable night by delivering a tight and kinetic performance. The band’s lead vocalist Matt Shultz showcased his impressive range during the show, with Liam returning the favor by giving him a friendly hand slap after “Roll With It.”
The evening’s setlist was heavily influenced by their greatest hits, including ‘F—kin’ in the Bushes,’ ‘Bring It On Down,’ and more. Oasis has mastered the art of turning a football stadium into a pub sing-along with thousands of fans.
