There was something almost preternatural about the way Liam Gallagher commanded the stage. His aura was that of a man utterly convinced of his own brilliance, a swaggering confidence that infected the crowd.

The charismatic frontman held court with a studied nonchalance, while the faithful roared their approval.

With minimal effort, he led Britain’s finest rock ‘n’ roll band onstage at Poole Lighthouse.

The band has now announced it will get back together to play a series of stadium gigs across the UK and Ireland.

Onstage in 2004, Noel Gallagher orchestrated the music with a disregard for the spotlight, while Andy Bell and Gem Archer provided solid, unassuming support.

Behind them, Zak Starkey pounded the drums with the seasoned authority of a veteran, and an anonymous keyboardist filled out the sound.

It’s a peculiar alchemy, this ability to create such a majestic spectacle from seemingly ordinary parts. Yet, that’s the enduring magic of Oasis. They matter. Deeply.

Opening with the defiant “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star,” they ignited a frenzy in the crowd. The anthemic “Supersonic” followed, a reminder of their untarnished legacy.

Liam cracked a joke about their next album, a playful jab at the long-awaited follow-up. Then came the blistering “What’s the Story (Morning Glory?)”, a testament to their raw energy.

After the applause for a new song, Noel couldn’t resist a playful dig at Liam, claiming the songwriting credit. The frontman retorted with characteristic swagger.

It was a classic Oasis moment, a reminder of their enduring chemistry and the magnetic pull they exerted until their split in 2009.

These pictures were taken at their intimate gig at Poole Lighthouse on June 23, 2004 - a gig that spectators will never forget.
