Itโs official: Oasis is back, baby. Some would say that a reunion tourโs setlist should never star with their greatest hits; however, weโd be bold enough to say that these six hits would be killer songs for Oasis to open with in 2025. Quite a few Oasis fans said their piece about their chosen picks as well, which influenced this list. Letโs take a look!
1. โDonโt Look Back In Angerโ
The iconic 1995 Oasis track โWonderwallโ is arguably the most singable song in the bandโs discography. However, โDonโt Look Back In Angerโ comes pretty close. Itโs one of their most identifiable anthems and a melancholy song that manages to be an addictive sing-along despite its somber subject matter.

2. โShe’s Electricโ
Some might say โSheโs Electricโ is a deep cut from (Whatโs The Story) Morning Glory? Megafans would call it a fan-favorite that is essential listening for any fan worth their salt. Itโs the perfect blend of underrated and identifiable to most Oasis fans. We think thatโs the right recipe for a stellar tour opener.

3. โDon’t Go Awayโ
Oasisโ lyrics rarely shied away from being reflective and introspective. This track from the 1997 release Be Here Now is one of the bandโs most vulnerable. At the very least, itโs Liamโs most vulnerable.
โDonโt Go Awayโ is a painful tune about wanting more time without a beloved parent before they pass on. Itโs a bit of a downer, but we think Oasis could easily create a great setlist that starts off somber and ends with a banger of hits.
4. โRock ‘N’ Roll Starโ
This is another great hit that would make a killer opening track for Oasisโ upcoming reunion tour. Itโs the very first song of their very first album, after all. Itโs a manifestation of sorts that predicted a long and tumultuous rock star career that is nevertheless legendary in Britpop and rock.
5. โAcquiesceโ
Quite a few fans want Oasis to play this killer B-side from 1995, and it makes sense why. โAcquiesceโ is delightfully egregious with Noelโs guitar riffs and stellar vocals. Some believe that the song was written about the bond between Noel and Liam, though the former put that rumor to bed by saying it was โtotal f***ing bullshitโ.
6. โChampagne Supernovaโ
Many fans hail โChampagne Supernovaโ as the best song on (arguably) Oasisโ best album, (Whatโs The Story) Morning Glory? It could easily be the bandโs best song to date, even if it hasnโt made it into the music history archives quite like โWonderwallโ. It would be a treat to hear this for the first time in years as one of the songs Oasis opts to open their tour with.
