Noel Gallagher's ex-wife Meg Mathews has explained why she left Oasis' comeback gig early.
Meg - who divorced Noel in 2001 - was among the gig-goers at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on Friday (04.07.25) along with her daughter Anais to watch her former husband's band reunite onstage for the first time in more than 15 years, but she was spotted leaving the show early and now she has explained she simply wanted to be able to walk back to her car without getting caught up in the "carnage" as thousands of fans attempted to exit the stadium at the same time.
In a post on Instagram, Meg wrote: "5 stars, loved every minute thank you Oasis … you were brilliant ... Great to see all the old faces … It was worth the count down ... and to all the f******papers I left before the encore as I have left many a stadium at the end and it’s carnage ...
"But yes I could hear Wonderwall as I walked to my car! Happy now."
Meg and Noel's daughter Anais, 25, was also at the show and she will be photographing the band throughout the Oasis Live '25 Tour.
Anais recently admitted she barely remembers any of Oasis' performances when she was a child as she was more interested in the sweet treats they kept backstage.
She told W magazine: "I have memories of being super young at shows and falling asleep with ear defenders on ... The only thing I cared about was how many packets of Milky Way chocolate stars were in the dressing room."
Anais shared a picture of herself partying at the Cardiff gig in a post on Instagram, referencing the lyric to Oasis anthem Hello, which started the show, by writing: "It’s good to be back."
The Oasis Live '25 Tour started in the UK in Cardiff with shows on July 4 and 5 and will next head to the band's hometown of Manchester for five gigs at Heaton Park between July 11 and 16.
After concluding the UK leg, Oasis will take the shows to North America, South Korea, Japan, Australia and South America, where the tour will conclude in Sao Paulo, Brazil on November 25.
