The concert kicked off at 8.15pm this evening at Principality Stadium in CardiffCredit: ReutersAnother member of the crowd claimed the female fan was carried away during the band’s song D’You Know What I Mean.
This comes as Liam and Noel appeared on stage together for the first time in 16 years.
Deafening applause rang out across the Principality Stadium as a sell-out crowd of 74,500 fans watched the brothers blast out iconic hits on the tour’s opening night.
The track F****n’ in the Bushes played in the background as newspaper headlines and tweets flashed up on the big screens before the band walked onto the Principality Stadium stage.
Noel, 58, in a denim shirt, and Liam, 52, sporting his iconic parka jacket, then opened with their 1995 track Hello.
Famous names including Eastenders star Danny Dyer, actress Vicky McClure and one direction star Louis Tomlinson were in attendance for the performance.
Liam shouted “it’s good to be back” before going into the next song Acquiesce, striking a familiar pose with his hands behind his back.
Before their third song, (What’s the story) Morning Glory? Liam said: “Hello people, it’s been too long.”
He then brought out his iconic tambourine as the band performed Some Might Say.
At a number of points during the set, Noel and Liam were seen affectionately smiling and nodding at one another.
Before going into Cigarettes & Alcohol, Liam told fans to “jump up and down when the tune starts”.
The frenzy literally caused the floor to shake as the band went into Fade Away, Supersonic and Roll With It.
Revellers sang along word-for-word as Noel took the mic to belt out hits Talk Tonight, Half The World Away and Little By Little.

The set list had been kept secretCredit: PAAs Liam took a three-song break, Noel made a jibe about rising ticket prices and joked “it’s just gone up”.
Swaggering back out on stage, Liam asked the crowd: “How we getting on then? You’re all looking good.”
He returned to be with his older sibling for Do You Know What I Mean.
Rounding off the mellow segment, the duo continued with Stand By Me and Cast No Shadow.
Joking again about ticket prices, before playing Slide Away, Liam asked: “You’re all having a good time yeah?
“Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?”
Oasis also paid tribute to tragic footballer Diogo Jota during their song Live Forever.
A picture of the 28-year-old forward was displayed on screens in the stadium.
Jota’s newlywed wife Ruta is now a widow at 28.
Their three young children lost both a father and an uncle in the terrible early hours crash on a lonely Spanish motorway.
One member of the crowd said: “The live forever tribute for Jota was on a different level. May your soul rest in peace.”
Another penned: “Oasis just dedicated ‘Live Forever’ performance to Diogo Jota tonight. Literally brought a tear to my eye.”
“Seeing that Jota tribute at Oasis has set me off again. Beautiful. How are we never gonna see him again,” agreed a third heartbroken fan.
“The beautiful tribute to Jota during Live Forever had me in tears,” wrote someone else.
As the show came to a close, they player their song Rock n Roll Star and Liam Gallagher launched his tambourine to fans.
Noel Gallagher shouted to the crowd: “This one is for all the people in their twenties that haven’t seen us before, who’ve kept this s*** going for the last f****** 20 years.”
The Masterplan and Don’t Look Back In Anger were also part of their encore.
Oasis ended their first reunion tour gig with Champagne Supernova.
Liam told the crowd “there are many things I would like to say to you, but I don’t speak Welsh”.
“Right then, beautiful people, this is it”, he added. “Nice one for putting up with us over the years.”
The brothers shared a brief hug before the show closed.
