Oasis fans react after first gig in 16 years
There was a sense of euphoria as Oasis fans left the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Friday night, knowing they had watched a gig that will go down in music history. The evening in the Welsh capital marked the first time Noel and Liam Gallagher shared a stage in 16 years.
Their setlist didn't disappoint, with it being full of their biggest hits, which kept the crowd happy all evening. And critics were also full of praise for the performance, with national news publications unanimous in giving the gig five stars. You can read more about that by clicking here.
We interviewed fans for their instant reaction to the gig when they exited the home of Welsh rugby on Friday night, and the feedback was unanimously positive.

One fan described it as: "Biblical. Epic."
Another added: "That's the best gig ever. The best gig ever. It was worth every penny, £1,000, worth every penny."
A third told us: "Unreal. I've waited my whole life for that and it was ten out of ten.
"I did the first gig, that was the most secure one. If they fall out after that, I don't care."

Another fan said: "It was absolutely amazing. I'd see them again in a heartbeat."
Asked what their favourite song was, many agreed that it was the song which finished the show, Champagne Supernova.
Kate Stephens, from Merthyr Tydfil, described the experience as "unreal".

The 26-year-old said: 'It was iconic, the fact that we have just witnessed that, I actually feel unreal, I actually feel like it's such an out of body experience.
"I was so nervous, is it actually going to happen, I was so convinced that we'd get there and they'd be like we've had an argument, we aren't going it now, it was insane.
"Live Forever got me quite emotional. Live Forever and Champagne Supernova I felt very emotional."
Jamie Davies, 39 and Sam Perry, 37, both from Torquay, and Dan Lall-Sachdev, 39, from Taunton, Richard Burnell, 41, from Barry and Lee Price, 42, from Sully, said they had an amazing time.

They said: "We've waited 30 years for that, to get them back together, to be here for the first night is unreal. It was unbelievable.
"They were crystal clear, technically they were on point. Liam was fantastic, absolutely amazing. Blown away by his vocals, absolutely incredible.
"Champagne Supernova was the best song. Early doors it was Half The World Away."
Many described the tickets as being 'worth every penny'

Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot. Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly.
Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.

Viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.

Children in Wales take part in mass singalong for Euro 2025
The event, known as the Wales' Women's Euro Singalong 2025, took place on Wednesday, July 2, and involved 1,051 primary schools across Wales. It was organised by Urdd Gobaith Cymru in partnership with the Football Association of Wales, S4C, and Boom Cymru. Siân Lewis, chief executive of the Urdd, said: "The Urdd's #FelMerch campaign aims to inspire and empower young women and girls throughout the country, so we've jumped at the chance to show our support to the Welsh women's squad by arranging a nationwide singalong, with the help of our partners. "Our singalong is a fantastic opportunity for pupils at Welsh and English-medium schools alike to come together, be proud of their Welsh heritage, and feel part of the national football team's campaign." The event, held at 10:30am, gave primary school children the chance to celebrate and support the Welsh women's football team. Children sang a selection of Welsh songs, including a new anthem, Ymlaen (Onwards), written by singer-songwriter Caryl Parry Jones and producer Branwen Munn. Singer and presenter Aleighcia Scott, who appeared as a coach on S4C's Y Llais, said: "It's a momentous occasion for the Welsh women to be competing at the Euros for the first time, and I can't wait to take part in the Urdd's singalong to celebrate this historical moment and bring Welsh children along on the journey. "It's been an amazing journey for me learning Welsh so far, and taking part in events like the Urdd's singalong makes me feel like the Welsh language does belong to me, and it can belong to all the children of Wales too." In Lucerne, Switzerland, where Wales will play their opening game, the Urdd is also showcasing contemporary Welsh folk talent as part of its #FelMerch campaign. The campaign aims to inspire and empower young women and girls to stay active and overcome barriers to participation in sport. The Urdd will also host a National Female #FelMerch Sports Conference at Cardiff City Stadium on November 13 as part of the tournament's legacy. The event follows the success of previous conferences designed to support and empower women and girls through sport. The Urdd's Euro 2025 projects are supported by the Welsh Government's Euro 2025 Partner Support Fund.

Ricky Hatton to come out of retirement after 13 years to fight Gulf veteran
British legend Ricky Hatton is set to compete in professional boxing for the first time in over a decade this year, with the 46-year-old facing veteran Gulf fighter Eisa Al Dah. Hatton, a former welterweight and light-welterweight world champion, will take on Al Dah in Dubai on 2 December, 13 years after announcing his retirement after a loss to Vyacheslav Senchenko in Manchester in 2012. The Stockport-born fighter last fought in an exhibition against Marco Antonio Barrera in 2022, though his fight against Al Dah will be fully sanctioned as a professional bout. Al Dah, also 46, was the first professional boxer in the United Arab Emirates. The bout against Al Dah will be the 49th professional fight of a glittering career for Hatton, who boasts a 45-3 record having racked up 43 straight wins in a decade between 1997 and 2007, before suffering his first loss – to Floyd Mayweather Jr. He subsequently secured wins over Juan Lazcano and Paulie Malignaggi – the latter victory also becoming known for Hatton's walkout with Liam and Noel Gallagher of the band Oasis – before losing to another legend, Manny Pacquiao, in 2009. Hatton was due to fly to Dubai to take part in a press conference to launch the bout on Sunday evening, though he reportedly suffered an eye injury at the Oasis reunion gig in Cardiff on 4 July and was not cleared to travel. Nevertheless, Hatton joined the conference via video call, and said that he was 'very much looking forward to it myself, to be honest with you'. 'What you're trying to do there for boxing in Dubai is fantastic,' he added. Al Dah said that the bout "will be a true fight, true action'. 'Trust me, this fight will not be like the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight. And I will do my best, because everybody in the UAE and the Gulf, they will watch this fight. The place will be sold out and it will be watched around the world.'

Aldi has introduced a one-per-customer limit on 'world's best' £15 item
A limited edition version of Aldi's 'world's best champagne' has been such a hit with shoppers, that the budget retailer has introduced a one-bottle-per-customer limit on it. While you might picture Dom Perignon or Bollinger when you imagine world-class champagne, the World Drinks Awards 2025 revealed Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut as the winner of the champagne category. At just £14.95, the fizz is a steal — and in honour of Oasis' much-anticipated reunion, Aldi also released a Supernova edition — the same champagne, but packaged in a limited edition design as a keepsake for Britpop fans heading to the band's gigs this summer. Also £14.95, the bottles are only available at Aldi's Bury New Road store, just a stone's throw from where the Oasis story began. And now, Aldi say that 'demand has been so high' that the one-bottle limit has been implemented to ensure 'as many fans as possible can raise a glass'. Shoppers have been sharing their love for Supernova Champagne on social media. Superfan Jack Blake wrote: 'I drove from London for the Champagne after I saw the post. I thought, I must try and get a bottle!' Another wrote: 'I got here for half six. My wife's a big Oasis fan so I came to grab her a bottle – I've just called my mates to come down too.' Fans outside of Manchester will be able to enter a prize draw online to be in with a chance of winning a bottle, which is available while stocks last. The regular version of the champagne isn't going anywhere though, so don't panic. At the World Drinks Awards 2025, Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut beat out competition from champagnes that were more than three times the price. This included G.H. Martel Honoré de Balzac Edition Limitée Brut Champagne, which retails at £49.68 – making it over 70% more expensive. Aldi's bubbly drink is crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and has ripe apple, soft red fruit and delicate floral notes. Balzac Honoré de Balzac Rosé Brut came in second place, while the limited edition Brut came in third. Speaking about the win, Julie Ashfield, chief commercial officer at Aldi UK, said: 'To have our £14.95 Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut recognised as the best in the world is proof that exceptional quality doesn't have to come with an eye-watering price tag. It's a proud moment not just for Aldi, but for our customers who can enjoy world-class champagne without breaking the bank.' Metro's specialist food writer, Courtney Pochin, put the world's best champagne to the test, and she was very impressed. 'I love a glass of something bubbly to celebrate a special occasion, but I often find champagne is a bit too dry for my taste buds. 'Clearly, I just hadn't found the right champagne. 'The Veuve Monsigny is dry, but refreshingly light at the same time. I found myself pouring more into my flute before it was even empty – it was so delightfully drinkable. 'Each sip is vibrant, crisp and beautifully bubbly. If I'd been handed a glass of this as part of a blind taste test, I'd have bet all my money that it had a much higher price tag than it does, because it tastes expensive. 'This is by far the best champagne I've ever had.' And if bubbles aren't for you, the retailer recently launched the UK's first bubble-less prosecco. More Trending Priced at £5.99 the Still Prosecco proved a hit with Metro's drinks expert, Rob Buckhaven, who said it was 'bone dry and lively with flavours of lime, nectarine and tangerine.' View More » He added: 'Not only is it a brilliant talking point, I'm a huge fan of the flavour, the price and will be stocking up over the summer.' Do you have a story to share?
