EXCLUSIVE: Oasis fans have descended on Cardiff before doors open at the Principality Stadium with warnings being issued to those still on the hunt for tickets to see Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite
Oasis fans have taken over Cardiff as they arrive for the highly anticipated reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher on stage. In just a few hours time, the doors will open at the Principality Stadium in the Welsh capital. However, it hasn’t gone without some travel chaos.
Some superfans queuing overnight have already had their concert tickets checked after braving the elements in a 24 hour queue. Their dedication certainly has paid off though, as the band took note have have upgraded them to VIP tickets.
But, others who are arriving still with hours to spare until Noel and Liam hit the stage at 8.15pm tonight are already facing issues with travel as they arrive in Cardiff. A source has told the Mirror: “Anyone leaving Cardiff train station faces around a 20 mins delay now as all tickets being checked causing huge backlogs. Could get worse as afternoon continues”.
They added: “Different trains coming out of different lines and only handful of people to check tickets causing some tailbacks when more than one train arrives at same time.”
Transport for Wales have issued guidance for those fans using the railway network to get to and from today’s show. They said: “Things to remember if you’re heading to the Oasis gigs. You must buy your ticket before getting on the train. A post-event queuing system will be in place at Cardiff Central. Cardiff Queen Street will close at 22:00.”
According to the map, there will be different queues depending on where your train’s destination is. This will come into place at 22:00. The Oasis show’s curfew is 22:30.
Fans are flooding into Cardiff by rail, with train station staff on hand to direct them to where they need to go. Different train arrivals have different exits scheduled to them, with passengers leaving through metal barriers.
Security are then on hand checking tickets. However, there are only a handful of people to check the tickets causing some tailbacks when more than one train arrives at the same time.
And those still looking to secure a golden ticket for tonight’s event have been warned about potential scams as they scramble for a last minute spot.
The hotly-anticipated tour is the culmination of months of speculation, a feverish ticket sale and a long 16 year wait from fans. A shock comeback was unveiled in August 2024, with the band declaring: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
A chaotic rush for tickets followed with 17 dates announced across London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Dublin before the band announced more concerts in North America, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Chile and Argentina – giving fans around the world the chance to hear the hits live again.
Excitement for the Britpop revival is reaching fever pitch, with fans queuing up outside the Principality Stadium more than 24 hours before the doors open. Cardiff is now preparing for over 74,000 fans to flock to the Welsh capital for the most ‘biblical’ night in music history.
Not only are Liam and Noel reuniting with each other, but so are their kids. The whole family has come together to mark the end of the long running fallout, with a new generation of Gallaghers set to carry on their legacy.
And tonight is set to be a family affair in Cardiff. Liam’s three kids Lennon, 25, Gene, 24, and Molly, 27, have become very close to Noel’s daughter Anais, 25. The four cousins have come back in a classic Rockstar way with a photo shoot for fashion and music magazine W.
They promise to be at every show as they get to watch their dads perform for the first time as adults. Lennon added: “I can’t wait… It’s a massive, monumental thing, it’s going to be fantastic.”
