Oasis Dedicates 'Live Forever' to Minneapolis Shooting Victims at New Jersey Show

Oasis honors Minneapolis shooting victims with a heartfelt dedication during their New Jersey concert, showcasing their enduring spirit and connection to fans.

A Night to Remember at MetLife Stadium

When Oasis took the stage at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on August 31, 2025, it wasn’t just another night on their Live ‘25 tour. This was a moment charged with emotion and solidarity. Lead singer Liam Gallagher paused the electrifying atmosphere to dedicate their iconic song ‘Live Forever’ to the victims of a heartbreaking tragedy in Minneapolis.

“I want to dedicate this next tune to the kiddies from Minneapolis,” Liam told the crowd, his voice heavy with sincerity. “Live forever.”

This tribute was in response to the tragic church shooting outside the Church of the Annunciation in Minneapolis on August 27, where two children lost their lives and 18 others were injured before the shooter took his own life.

The Power of Music in Tragic Times

Oasis has never shied away from moments of heartfelt tribute during their reunion. Earlier on the tour’s opening night in Cardiff, they honored the memory of the late Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota with the same song, ‘Live Forever’. At Wembley Stadium, the band paid respects to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne by dedicating ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Star’.

Their MetLife show held true to the same energetic 23-song setlist they’ve been rolling out throughout the Live ‘25 tour. Noel Gallagher, ever the purist, shared with his close friend Matt Morgan that he prefers to keep the setlist unchanged, saying he “likes it like that.”

Here are some moments from the emotional dedication, captured live at MetLife Stadium:

Continuing the Tour and Keeping the Spirit Alive

The band isn’t slowing down just yet. Oasis is set for a second night at MetLife Stadium on September 1, followed by stops in Pasadena and Mexico City. Later this month, fans will get to witness two more shows at Wembley Stadium before Oasis takes their Live ‘25 tour overseas to South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil.

For those who relish the behind-the-scenes stories, Noel Gallagher recently revealed that he enjoys the consistency of the setlist — a nod to their steady, no-frills approach to reconnecting with their fanbase and performing their greatest hits live.

The Reunion Tour: A Celebration of Legacy and Brotherhood

The reunion has been more than just nostalgia. It’s a testament to the enduring bond between the Gallagher brothers and the timelessness of Oasis’ music. Noel recently opened up about the tour experience, sharing how he had forgotten how funny Liam is, praising his brother’s stage presence and calling him “smashing it” — a rare moment of warmth between the famously fractious siblings.

With a five-star review from critics for their Cardiff comeback gig, Oasis have proven they’re not just reliving their ’90s heyday but reinventing it for new generations. The band’s visual spectacle and powerhouse performances bring their greatest hits to life, creating moments that feel as fresh and exhilarating as they did decades ago.

“Playing before a pop-art-meets-psychedelia visual spectacular that never distracts but will look sick on a phone, they seem the quintessential stadium band playing the greatest hits of greatest hits.”
