    Oasis tour: What you need to know – and why Cardiff is the first stop | UK News

    Oasis are set to kick off their reunion tour in Cardiff this weekend, with thousands expected to descend on the Welsh capital.

    The 41-date Oasis Live 25 tour begins in the city on Friday and Saturday, amid warnings for people to plan ahead before they travel.

    The Gallagher brothers’ last performance together was in 2009, and the tour sold out within hours of its announcement last August, with fans eager to catch a glimpse of the reunion.

    But where is the tour heading – and why was Cardiff chosen as the city where the brothers will perform for the first time together in almost 16 years?

    When does the tour start and where is it heading?

    After Cardiff, Oasis will go on to perform at Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin on their UK and Ireland leg of the tour.

    Why was Cardiff picked as the first stop?

    Asked on X in May why Cardiff was chosen as the location for the opening leg, Liam Gallagher said “because Cardiff is the bollox”.

    Principality Stadium is a 74,500-seat venue, known as the home of Welsh rugby, which played host to Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift concerts last year.

    Businesses in the area are hoping the arrival of Oasis will bring an influx of trade to the city.

    Gary Corp, manager of the City Arms, told Sky News that he was expecting the concert would “treble if not quadruple the footfall on the street”.

    Meanwhile, Ethan John, events manager at Tiny Rebel, said Oasis choosing Cardiff to kick off their tour was “surreal” and that previous events such as Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour had a “massive impact” on footfall.

    What travel advice is there in Cardiff?

    Train operators say trains will be busy and people should allow plenty of time for their journey home.

    Georgie Wills, from Transport for Wales, said the company was “thrilled to welcome thousands to Cardiff this summer”.

    “Look out for our queuing systems and travel tips – and let’s make it a safe and smooth experience for everyone,” she added.

    Cardiff Council has confirmed that roads around the stadium will close from 12pm until 12am on both Friday and Saturday.

    The road closures come into force three hours earlier than is planned for upcoming Stereophonics, Kendrick Lamar and Catfish and the Bottlemen concerts later this summer.

    The Cardiff Bus Interchange will close at 3pm and Cardiff Queen Street railway station will close at 10pm (apart from accessible travel or journeys to Cardiff Bay).

    What time does the show start and who are the support acts?

    Principality Stadium’s doors open at 5pm on both Friday and Saturday.

    The band will be supported by indie rock band Cast and Richard Ashcroft (who formed alternative rock band the Verve) in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin.

    Cast start their Cardiff set at 6pm, followed by Richard Ashcroft at 7pm.

    Oasis will take to the stage at 8.15pm, and should finish by 10.30pm.

    American rock band Cage the Elephant will support Oasis in Canada, Mexico and at the Chicago gig.

    They will be joined again by Cast for the East Rutherford and Pasadena dates.

    Australian indie rock band Ball Park Music will support in Australia.

    Are tickets still available for the shows?

    The tour is sold out, but the band has said it is possible some additional tickets may be released.

    In an Instagram post on 25 June, the band advised members of Oasismynet to “keep an eye” on their inbox.

    The final releases would come “over the coming days” once production was “fine tuned”, the band said.

    What’s the weather going to be like?

    Cardiff is set to be cloudy with sunny intervals on Friday afternoon, with highs of 21C and lows of 15C.

    On Saturday, however, it will be slightly cooler with light rain during the afternoon, before clearing up in the evening.

    Oasis will kick off their highly anticipated reunion tour in Cardiff this weekend, marking their first performance together since 2009.
