Mission Possible: Tom Cruise Makes Peace at Oasis' Wembley Comeback

Mia Reynolds, 7/29/2025Tom Cruise surprises fans at Oasis' Wembley comeback, signaling peace between the actor and the Gallagher brothers after years of public feud. The star-studded show captivates multiple generations, celebrating the band's return to rock while reminding us that reconciliation can come with the right soundtrack.

The sight of Cruise bobbing along to "Wonderwall" alongside Gen-Z icon Dua Lipa might seem surreal to anyone who remembers the Gallagher brothers' legendary takedown in their 2007 documentary. Back then, Noel didn't exactly mince words, dubbing Cruise "a little fucker" with questionable filmography. Liam, true to form, kept it characteristically blunt: "I hate Tom Cruise. Bastard."

But that's ancient history now — practically prehistoric in entertainment years. The real kicker? A chance encounter in a Berlin hotel back in '09 that reads like a scene from a Richard Curtis film. There was Cruise, promoting "Valkyrie," when he reportedly turned the tables on Liam with the kind of charm that's kept him at the box office summit for four decades.

The Wembley show itself? Pure electricity. Part of Oasis' first tour in 16 years (feels strange writing that number), it's drawn an eclectic crowd that spans multiple generations. Between Cruise, Dua Lipa, and rising star Callum Turner, the VIP section looked like an awards show green room — minus the pretense and plus a few thousand singing fans.

Mind you, this reunion tour's been selling out faster than limited-edition vinyl drops. From Cardiff to the upcoming gigs in Edinburgh and Dublin, before they jet across the pond for the North American leg, tickets have become the hottest commodity since cryptocurrency peaked (again) last month.

The setlist? A masterclass in crowd-pleasing that somehow manages to satisfy both the die-hard fans who've been there since the Boardwalk days and the TikTok generation who discovered "Don't Look Back in Anger" through viral nostalgia reels. In today's fractured musical landscape, where AI-generated tracks compete with human artistry, there's something profoundly refreshing about watching real rock stars command a stadium.

Perhaps the most telling moment came during "Live Forever," when cameras caught Cruise air-drumming alongside Turner, while somewhere in the crowd, a new generation discovered why their parents won't shut up about the '90s. In an era where celebrity feuds play out in carefully crafted social media posts, there's something wonderfully old-school about this particular hatchet being buried to the sound of guitar feedback and Manchester swagger.

As Oasis continues their victory lap through 2025's festival season, the Tom Cruise cameo serves as a reminder that sometimes the best endings aren't written in scripts — they just need the right soundtrack and enough time to play out.

Who would've thought that a bit of British rock magic could mend the bridges between Hollywood royalty and Manchester's most notorious musical brothers? In a delightfully unexpected twist at Wembley Stadium, Tom Cruise — now sporting distinguished silver temples at 63 — showed up among the heaving crowd at Oasis' reunion show, proving that some feuds age better than fine wine.The sight of Cruise bobbing along to "Wonderwall" alongside Gen-Z icon Dua Lipa might seem surreal to anyone who remembers the Gallagher brothers' legendary takedown in their 2007 documentary.
