When legendary Britpop band Oasis took the stage in Cardiff for their first performance since 2009, it wasn’t just the music that captivated the audience—it was the visual storytelling delivered through towering LED displays that set the emotional tone for the night. With the help of high-performance LED video walls from Absen and Leyard, the event became more than a comeback—it became a cinematic experience.

The show, held at Principality Stadium, marked the launch of the Oasis Live ’25 Tour. Before Liam and Noel Gallagher and the band even appeared, two massive LED walls—comprising Absen Venus 4.8mm and Leyard Europe CLM6—delivered a gripping prelude to the performance. These screens showcased tabloid headlines and archival footage of the brothers’ much-publicized conflicts, drawing the audience into a narrative of tension, reconciliation, and nostalgia.
As the Telegraph described, “The hi-def screens were bigger, wider and more dynamic than anything Oasis would have dragged out on tour back in the glory days.” These visual enhancements weren’t an afterthought—they were core to the stage experience, powered by Universal Pixels’ comprehensive AV system that included Brompton Technology video processing, Disguise media servers, Panasonic UK cameras, and Luna Remote Systems Towercam setups.
Both Absen and Leyard are global leaders in LED display manufacturing, and the screen models used in this event reflect their engineering strengths:
Absen Venus 4.8mm is designed for outdoor rental and staging environments, combining robust structural design with excellent brightness and color fidelity. With a pixel pitch of 4.8mm, it delivers crisp visuals even from mid-range viewing distances, making it ideal for concerts and festivals.
Leyard CLM6 belongs to Leyard Europe’s rental series, offering a 6.25mm pixel pitch and rugged build for fast assembly and high stability. Known for its exceptional uniformity and flatness, it ensures seamless imaging even across large-scale deployments.
Together, these two screens provided a balanced combination of resolution, durability, and modular flexibility—enabling designers to build immersive storytelling environments that could be quickly deployed and adapted.
The Oasis reunion highlights a larger trend in live events: LED displays have become central to performance art, not just background elements. Whether projecting high-definition video, live feeds, abstract visuals, or emotional montages, LED video walls now serve as digital storytellers.
In fact, LED screens are now favored over traditional projection or mechanical staging due to several key advantages:
As live events become more narrative-driven and multimedia-focused, the demand for high-quality LED display solutions continues to surge—not just from artists and producers, but from AV rental companies and technical directors across the globe.

Oasis’s Cardiff comeback proves that LED technology is not only changing how performances look, but also how they feel. When integrated thoughtfully, LED screens become emotional amplifiers, reinforcing the theme and tempo of a show—connecting the artist to the audience in ways previously unimagined.
For manufacturers and suppliers across the LED industry supply chain, this is both a challenge and an opportunity. The growing creative expectations around live events demand continued innovation in pixel pitch, image processing, lightweight designs, and serviceability.
As global players like Absen and Leyard continue to supply state-of-the-art LED solutions for these high-stakes moments, their upstream component suppliers—especially LED chip and lamp bead manufacturers—play an increasingly critical role in ensuring the performance, consistency, and longevity of every module on stage.
