Oasis remained the big draw of the event

The Millennium Stadium was full of attitude on Saturday - Liam Gallagher-style.

Thousands crammed into Wales' largest venue to see Oasis, who took to the stage shortly after 2100 GMT.

Fans who had travelled from across the UK paid homage to frontman Liam, with many sporting his trademark parka coat.

Some even walked like him, adopting that unmistakeable swagger, while some others shook tambourines - Liam's instrument of choice when on stage.

By 1600 GMT, the stadium's pitch was a sea of faces and most of the seats in the stand had been taken up.

Before Oasis though, the crowd was treated to several other top acts.

Oasis' Britpop-era songs proved popular

The Foo Fighters were sensational, and worked the crowd up into a frenzy, performing some of their latest hits in a memorable set.

Razorlight and the Coral didn't disappoint either, but everyone at the Millennium Stadium's Noise and Confusion gig had come to see the headlining act, Oasis.

The band has enjoyed a revival as an act once again to be reckoned with after the launch of their latest album, Don't Believe the Truth.

But ironically the fans who packed in to watch roared most when Oasis played tracks from the Britpop era.

Live Forever, Cigarettes and Alcohol, which Liam Gallagher dedicated to the memory of George Best, Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova and, of course, Don't Look Back in Anger, were hugely appreciated by the crowd of 68,500.

However one of the loudest cheers of the night was reserved for a little-known B-side, Masterplan.

Oddly though, there was no mention of the Gallaghers' idol John Lennon, just two days after the 25th anniversary of the ex-Beatle's death.

Oasis' set ended with The Who's My Generation, and then suddenly they were gone, leaving with a tongue-in-cheek remark that they'd be in Cardiff's Whispers nightclub later "if you want to join us".
