NOEL Gallagher tells pals “the band is on fire” as Oasis prepare to kick off their 41-sold out shows across the globe.
Those close to the rocker, who will take to the stage at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium tonight with his brother Liam for the first time in 16 years, added: “Noel and Liam have never been in better form – the moment of truth is here.”

Fans have started flocking to Cardiff, with many already queuing outside of the stadium for the first show, which starts at 8:15pm.
A friend close to Noel added: “Both of the brothers are ready and raring to go.
“They have described the set list as monumental and think the band have never sounded better.
“They’ve been waiting almost a year for this first show and they can wait to get out on stage and play for their fans.
“There’s nothing else they can do now. They’re as ready as they can be and the rest is in the lap of the gods.”
Oasis, who clocked up over 70 million record sales worldwide after forming in Manchester in 1991, split in 2009 following a fall out between the brothers.
But those close to Noel, 58, and Liam, 52, said the pair are “good as gold,” adding: “The vibe is good and happy.”
The brothers will be joined on stage by Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker.
Noel and Liam have kept the set list a total secret, with rumours swirling on the internet about what the brothers will play.
Earlier this week, during a soundcheck at the Principality Stadium, fans outside heard F*****g In The Bushes being played – which was traditionally as an instrumental before Liam would come on stage.
Acquiesce, Cigarettes & Alcohol also made the cut, with a stripped back section expected in the middle of the set with songs including Talk Tonight and Half The World Away.
Following huge shows here tonight and tomorrow, Oasis will take a short break before kicking off their run of shows at Heaton Park in Manchester on July 11.
