\nLeonardo DiCaprio recalled a “special” moment that he witnessed Paul McCartney enjoy at an Oasis concert that they both attended”Paul McCartney was actually there, and I think they sang a\u00a0Beatles\u00a0song. I remember I was in the section next to him, and the whole sort of stadium looked back at Paul and clapped for Paul too, which was awesome,” DiCaprio told NMEThe Oasis Live ’25 Tour will continue to run through November 2025, making stops in North America, the United Kingdom, Asia, Australia and South America<\/p>\n
Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a> is quick to recall the special moment that he witnessed Paul McCartney<\/a> enjoy at an Oasis<\/a> concert that they both attended.\n<\/p>\n On Sept. 6, DiCaprio, McCartney, and a slew of other celebrities descended upon the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Calif., to see Oasis perform their hotly anticipated Oasis Live ’25 Tour. Although they did not all arrive or sit together, Salma Hayek Pinault<\/a>, Kristen Stewart<\/a>, Stewart’s wife, Dylan Meyer, Taika Waititi, and Rita Ora<\/a> were also in attendance<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n Though the Rose Bowl was filled to the brim with A-listers that evening, everyone’s attention, including DiCaprio’s, was seemingly on McCartney, 83, who the actor said, in an interview with NME<\/a>, was relishing in the praise both the band and the crowd were giving him.\n<\/p>\n Leonardo DiCaprio in New York City in September 2025.<\/p>\n Jamie McCarthy\/WireImage<\/p>\n \u201cIt was incredible,\u201d DiCaprio, 50, shared of Oasis’ frontmen and brothers, Liam<\/a> and Noel Gallagher.<\/a> \u201cIt was incredible to see them back together again. And Paul McCartney was actually there, and I think they sang a\u00a0Beatles\u00a0song.\n<\/p>\n He added, “I remember I was in the section next to him, and the whole sort of 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.”\n<\/p>\n Paul McCartney in November 2021 in London.<\/p>\n Kate Green\/Getty<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.\n<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a great tour. Everyone\u2019s so excited about it. Really, much like Radiohead when that happens, too. I think everyone\u2019s going to do their best to be there for those moments,” said The Great Gatsby star.\n<\/p>\n Though McCartney was seemingly gracious in his attendance, comparisons between Oasis and The Beatles have been rife over the years, some of which were even spearheaded by members of Oasis themselves. Footage<\/a> of Noel from 2000 shows the rocker making claims that “we came that f—— close, man, you know, to being as big as The Beatles.”\n<\/p>\n However, TMZ<\/a> posted footage of Noel in 2015, questioning him about the moment the band allegedly said in the late ’90s that they were bigger than The Beatles<\/a>, to which he replied that he “might have been high when I said that.”\n<\/p>\n In 2016, McCartney made some comments about the “Wonderwall” creators comparing themselves to The Beatles, per a 2016 print interview with Q, republished by NME<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n Leonardo DiCaprio in London in September 2025.<\/p>\n Samir Hussein\/WireImage<\/p>\n \u201cOasis were young, fresh and writing good tunes,\u201d McCartney said at the time. \u201cI thought the biggest mistake they made was when they said, \u2018We\u2019re going to be bigger than The Beatles\u2019. I thought, \u2018So many people have said that, and it\u2019s the kiss of death.\u2019 Be bigger than The Beatles, but don\u2019t say it. The minute you say it, everything you do from then on is going to be looked at in the light of that statement.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
