Only a select few people in the world will get to see Oasis on the band’s long-awaited reunion tour, but even fewer will get to say that they viewed the show with Paul McCartney standing next to them — and Leonardo DiCaprio is one of those people.
In a new interview with NME published Friday (Sept. 26), the actor raved about catching Liam and Noel Gallagher’s performance at the Rose Bowl earlier in September. The once-feuding brothers have been touring the world since July, before which they’d spent 16 years apart.

“It was incredible,” DiCaprio told the publication. “It was incredible to see them back together again. And Paul McCartney was actually there, and I think they sang a Beatles song. I remember I was in the section next to him, and the whole stadium looked back at Paul and clapped for Paul too, which was awesome. It was a great tip of the hat. So, it was a special night.”
Indeed, Oasis has been adding parts of The Beatles’ “Octopus’s Garden” as part of an outro for the Heathen Chemistry track “Little by Little” while on the road. After McCartney saw the Sept. 6 concert in Pasadena, California, the Wings frontman told paparazzi that he thought the show was “fabulous.”
In his own review, DiCaprio continued, “It was a great tour … everyone’s so excited about it.”
The Oscar winner also compared the hype surrounding Oasis to that of Radiohead, whom DiCaprio had praised earlier in the interview for “what they’ve contributed to music.”
“Really, much like Radiohead, when that happens, too,” he added. “I think everyone’s going to do their best to be there for those moments.”
Oasis only has a couple of months left on its Live ’25 Tour, which kicked off July 4 with a European leg. In August, the Gallaghers and their bandmates headed overseas for a run of shows in North America.
The band’s next shows will take place Sept. 27 and 28 at Wembley Stadium in London, after which Oasis will close out the trek with brief legs in Asia, Australia and Latin America.
