Kicking off the show, Liam and Noel walked out with their arms around each other in a sweet display of unity, before they proudly gazed on at the crowds, who erupted into rounds of deafening applause.
As the masses gathered on Friday, Liam said: ‘Manchester vibes in the area,’ before he kicked off the show with Hello, which served as the opening track for their 1995 classic ‘What’s The Story (Morning Glory).
They then went into Acquiesce – a song from their first 1995 album, which was followed by the iconic Morning Glory – the titular song of the second studio album.
Liam shouted out: ‘Yes beautiful people! It’s been too long.’
He then ordered the crowd to ‘turn around and bounce’ ahead of Cigarettes and Alcohol.
After performing Some Might Say, Bring It On Down and Fade Away, Liam went off for a rest, while Noel performed his acoustic version of Talk Tonight.
Then Noel appeared emotional as he performed Half The World Away and even stopped singing for a few bars at one point.
Liam later said: ‘Are you having a good time?’ before addressing the ticket chaos: ‘Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for the ticket.’
Before kicking off the show, Oasis’ official Instagram page were quick to post a snap of the duo walking out to the crowd with Liam’s arm around Noel’s shoulders
Tickets were meant to start at £74.25 for seated tickets at their Wembley shows, with the most expensive ticket being a £506.25 pre-show party.
Throughout their various sets, poignant pictures of the family’s home in Manchester flashed up on the screen along with baby pictures of both brothers.
Old black and white pictures of their mum Peggy and dad Tommy were also flashed in the screen from time to time as Stand By Me played.
Elsewhere in the show, they honoured late Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota with a touching tribute.
Jota, 28, and his brother Andre, 26 – also a footballer, who played for Portuguese second division side Penafiel – both died on Thursday following a tragic car crash in Spain.
His Lamborghini Huracan had a tyre blow out while he attempted to overtake another vehicle on the A-52 at Cernadilla near Zamora – just ten miles over the border from Portugal.
They dedicated their iconic song ‘Live Forever’ to Jota, raising an LED banner of the former Portugal international in a Liverpool shirt with his back to the crowd.
The second song was Acquiesce – a song from their first 1995 album, which was followed by the iconic Morning Glory – the titular song of the second studio album

The brothers ended the show with Rock n Roll, but fans cheers for an encore, with the pair strolling back out, with two of their fan favourite hits still to come.
The crowds went wild as they belted out Wonderwall and the brothers became very emotional as they began to close down the show.
‘Thanks for putting up with us over the years. We’re hard work. We get it,’ Liam gushed.
They then rounded off their first gig in 16 years with legendary track Champagne Supernova.
