Oasis’s eagerly-anticipated reunion tour finally kicks off tonight at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, before they go on to tour the country and world
Oasis fans looking for some grub ahead of the first gig of their hugely-anticipated reunion can grab free sandwiches today.
Fast-food giant Subway are rolling out a truck to feed fans who have queued early outside Cardiff’s Principality Stadium today. It’s the venue of Liam and Noel Gallagher’s first concert together since 2009, kicking off a global tour.
The branded truck is offering a specially curated menu, with slogans outside including “you gotta roll with it” and “definitely, Maybe Hungry?”
And the puns continue with the one-day-only menu, which includes meaty options of Don’t Look Back in Banger, Deli With It and Cluck ‘n’ Roll Star.
There’s also The Masterplant – featuring a plant patty, vegan cheese and salad – for vegetarians.
Kirstey Elston, Senior Director, EMEA at Subway, said: “Oasis fans have already spent a lot to be part of this epic night – so we’re picking up the tab for the pre-show Subs.
“Whether you’ve followed them for decades or you’re here for the throwback, come and find us in Cardiff and grab a bite on us.”
It’s not the only gift Oasis fans in Cardiff have been given today. Lorraine correspondent Nick Dixon told the ITV show: “Some of the more passionate fans with tickets have been queuing up at different sections of the stadium since yesterday because they want to get in there as soon as the doors open at 5pm and rush to the stage.”
“It turns out that the band and the band’s management had noticed the fact that they were there because all of a sudden, on the other side of the stadium, security rounded up the fans and moved them.”
Nick added that he originally feared that the fans had been kicked out by security. “We were at first wondering, ‘I hope they’re not being turfed out, they’ve got tickets,’ but actually security told me that the band spotted them and they’ve been moved to a different area – a VIP area.
“They’ve had a massive upgrade on their tickets which is fantastic for them. They’ve left here deliriously happy.”
The previously-feuding brothers are, unsurprisingly, set for a huge windfall once the tour finally concludes.Analysis from Birmingham City University suggest it could bring in £400million in tickets sales and merchandise.
