British rock legends Oasis are kicking it off in Melbourne this Friday for the first time in 20 years to play the first of their five-show sold-out Australian tour. Get your bucket hats and Adidas ready, because here is your ultimate guide for the Australian leg of the Oasis Live ‘25 tour.
Before the gig
For a reunion tour as iconic as this, the concert doesn't start when the band hits the stage, but from the second you wake up, so here's your guide to having the most obnoxiously Oasis-themed day.
Merchandise
If you’ve stepped into the city in the past couple of weeks, you have, without a doubt, seen people in iconic blue Oasis jerseys, track jackets and shirts belonging to the band's collaboration with Adidas this year. The sportswear brand has been carrying this collection online and in some select stores since September 29th. Run past your nearest Adidas store to grab your very own Oasis exclusive merchandise, but be sure to check for frequent restocks online for sought-after items such as the track jacket and jersey, as they are often sold out in as little as a few minutes online, and less than a day in-store.
Official Fan Stores
There will be two official Fan Stores in both Melbourne and Sydney to celebrate the band's shows in these cities. You can find the locations and hours listed below:
Melbourne Central (Shopping Centre) Level 2, Shop 219/219A 360 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
Opens from October 28th - November 23rd
Saturday - Wednesday 10am - 7pm
Thursday - Friday 10am - 9pm
Sydney Westfield Shopping Centre Shop 1004, Level 1, Westfield NSW 2000
Opens from October 31st - November 23rd
Monday - Wednesday 9:30am - 7pm
Thursday 9:30am - 9pm
Friday - Saturday - 9:30am - 7pm
Sunday 10am - 7pm
While walk-ins are more than welcome, customers are recommended to book a time slot through the website to avoid the long queues.
These stores will carry exclusive tour merch, and don't look back in anger if you missed your chance at getting your dream Adidas collaboration merch, because these stores will also carry the famous collection.
Definitely Maybe Photography Exhibition
Behind The Gallery is greeting the band's return to Australia with two special photography exhibitions located in:
14 Langridge Street, Collingwood, VIC
17 Oxford Street, Paddington, NSW
Both galleries are completely free to enter, and feature legendary works from celebrated, international photographers, Chris Floyd, Scarlet Page and Kevin Cummins.
Melbourne's exhibition will be open from the 29th of October until the 2nd of November, and Sydney's from the 5th to the 9th of November.
Pop by to see a visual tour of the band's legacy, and catch up with other fans for their pre-concert meet-up.
Getting there and the set
Sydney transportation
With over 80,000 fans on their way to and from the year's most anticipated tour, it is extremely important to plan your journey ahead of time and to leave early to ensure you arrive perfectly on the dot.
Recommended modes of transportation are buses and trains; however, any concert-goers planning on driving are strongly urged to book parking beforehand, as there will be nothing left free on the day of the show.
If you are taking any form of public transport, make sure you flash your concert ticket to staff when boarding, as the cost for all public transport for the gigs is included in your ticket.
From Accor Stadium, simply take the under-ten-minute route to Olympic Park Station, and take one of the many frequent express trains to or from Central Station.
From mid-afternoon each show day, all nine routes of the Sydney Olympic Park Major Event buses will be running to easily escort you to the stadium, and again back home again.
For more information on transportation, read through the page on NSW Transport
Melbourne Transportation
Like Sydney, if you plan to drive to Marvel Stadium, you must have pre-booked your parking. Your two best bets for transport to Melbourne's shows are via Southern Cross Train Station or one of the numerous trams running to Docklands.
Many trams are running that are available to take, such as the #30, #35 and #70; however, no matter the form of transport you take, it is essential to plan your route beforehand, and check the Marvel Stadium website for information.
A short walk will also take you to the Southern Cross Station bus terminal, and for interstate fans, services for airport transfers. Ensure you find a bus and service through the Public Transport Victoria app before the date, and ask station staff any queries you might have.
Set times for Melbourne:
Gates open: 5:00 pm
Ball Park Music (support act): 7:30 pm
Oasis: 8:45 pm
Show ends: 10:45
Set times for Sydney:
Gates open: 5:45 pm
Ball Park Music (support act): 7:15 pm
Oasis: 8:45 pm
Show ends: 10:45 pm
Setlist:
Oasis know what their fans want, with all their best hits packed into a biblical 23-song setlist. Hold your bladders, because there is no song on this setlist worth missing.

The Brewery Bar + Kitchen Sydney
Just a three-minute stroll from Accor Stadium is the Brewery Bar + Kitchen. Have some drinks and food while you sing along to all your favourite '90s anthems late into the night.
Cherry Bar Melbourne
Stadium pints are too expensive, and you want to meet fans before the gig? Cherry Bar in Little Collins Street is the perfect place for you. Open from 2pm and spinning all your Britpop favourites, grab a ticket online for guaranteed entry and a free drink, or roll with it on the day for no cost.
The bar is a quick two stops from Southern Cross Station, so there is no rush to check your phone for the time frantically in fear of missing the concert.
Still not done after the show? Well, neither is this bar, with music playing and drinks being served late, for all the post-gig sing-alongs.
