Oasis tour weather forecast for Cardiff shows and stadium banned items list

With a week to go, the weather predictions are getting more and more accurate for the Oasis comeback shows in Cardiff as Noel and Liam Gallagher appear on stage together for the first time

Oasis fans travelling to Cardiff for the reunion shows have only a small risk of rain, according to the updated weather forecast. As Liam Gallagher famously sings in Cigarettes And Alcohol: you could wait for a lifetime to spend your days in the sunshine. Well the wait could be over!

Up to 74,000 fans are expected each night in Cardiff at the Principality Stadium and bosses will be able to leave the famous roof open if they want to based on the predicted conditions. On Friday July 4, BBC weather says conditions will be “sunny with a gentle breeze” and temperatures around 21 degrees, dropping to around 17 degrees by the end of the show.

On Saturday things look similar with “sunny intervals and a moderate breeze”. Temperatures are similar but there is a 24% chance of rain several times in the afternoon meaning fans going into the stadium early may have to dodge a few showers.

Banned items

Fans heading to Cardiff for the first nights of the Live 25 tour also have a long list of things they can’t bring into the stadium.

According to the Principality Stadium’s official website only small bags and handbags are allowed in the stadium. So any fans with larger rucksacks or suitcases will need to store them before they get there. The rules state: “Due to the current unprecedented security situation, it’s better for everyone if you do not bring a bag at all.

“We will not permit large bags into the stadium but you will be permitted to take small bags and handbags in with you. We class small bags as no larger than 35cm x 40cm x 19cm or standard handbags. There are no bag storage facilities available at the stadium – please plan ahead if you intend travelling to Cardiff with a large bag.”

Help is at hand as Cardiff has several companies that store large bags, including Stasher in the town centre which is open 24 hours a day. There is also a large list of items which are banned from entering the stadium. These include leaflets, banners and flags if they are deemed to be promotional, commercial, political or religious.

As well as this the full list of banned items are: “Fireworks, flares, pyrotechnics, all horns including air horns, musical instruments, smoke canisters, laser pointers, bottles, glasses, cans, cooking devices, banners, poles, large golf-type umbrellas, ‘selfie ‘sticks, knives, blades and other articles or containers – including any which could or might be used as a weapon – or any other item which in the reasonable opinion of the WRU Group, its servants or agents, could be used as a weapon or cause nuisance to others, are prohibited within the Stadium.”

Parking

According to the Principality website the doors open for the first and second Oasis live 25 shows on July 4 and July 5 at 5pm.

In terms of parking in Cardiff close to the stadium, it may pay to plan ahead as it is extremely limited, with no dedicated spectator parking options at or near the stadium.

It’s recommended to pre-book parking in city centre car parks, which are a short walk away from the stadium, to ensure a space and avoid the hassle of searching on the day.

The stadium website says: “There’s plenty of parking options in the city centre, but there is no dedicated spectator car parking at or immediately near the stadium, so be sure to plan your journey in advance.

“Please note that for Stadium concerts and events, road closures will be in place – please check your specific event information for further details.”

The largest car parks in Cardiff are the NCP car parks at Dumfries Place with 955 spaces and Knox Road with 747 spaces. Dumfries Place is a 23 minute walk to the stadium with Knox Road 20 minutes. Other options include apps which allow you to rent parking spaces from locals like just park.com

The nearest train station to the Principality Stadium is Cardiff Central, which operates mainline services from West Wales, the Midlands, the South Coast and London. Upon arriving into the station, the ground is a five-minute walk away.

Noel and Liam Gallagher posed up together for the first time since the Oasis global tour was announced as part of an Adidas promotional campaign which launched in an advert on Channel 4 on June 12. In the past both Liam and Noel have also released their own Adidas trainers and Noel has spoken in the past about being obsessed with trainers.

Oasis split following a backstage bust-up between the Gallaghers at Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009. But thankfully the brothers have now made up and it is believed Liam made the first move to patch things up.

On X Liam said last year: “I called him but don’t tell anyone as I don’t want folk thinking I’m a soft lad and stuffs keep it between me n you cheers x.” The reply laced with humour was typical of Liam’s responses on social media.

Last week Noel Gallagher told pals he was surprised how good the band sounded in rehearsals. On Oasis, U2 frontman Bono said: “I love them. I just love them. And what I really love is this, the sort of preciousness that had gotten a part of what was called indie music. They just blew it out.

“And there was just a swagger. The sound of getting out of the ghetto, not glamorising it. And they’re both funny, funny, funny. I’m still very close with Noel. And he got a message to me, and he says that he’s kind of shocked by how great the band is. So I think we’re going to have a good summer.”

Noel and Liam will walk on stage for the first time together in public, since the band split nearly two decades ago, on July 4 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. There will also be dates in Manchester, London and Dublin as part of the tour.
