Oasis nostalgia is a form of mass delusion
Rolling Stone magazine once quipped that grunge was what happened when the children of divorce got guitars in their hands. If you take this theory and tweak it, then one can reasonably conclude that Oasis is what happens when children who grow up in a house devoid of books decide to form a band. The bilge that's been written about Britpop and the wallowing in 1990s nostalgia since the Gallagher brothers announced their reunion tour last year (it kicks off in Cardiff this Friday) is approaching fever pitch. Tatler even has one of Liam's illegitimate children on its cover. You may have gleaned by now that I am not a fan. In fact, I've got Crosby, Stills & Nash on in the background to self-soothe while I write about the rising collective hysteria over perhaps the most average lead guitarist in history and a frontman whose greatest achievement is stretching the word 'sunshine' out to 27 syllables. Here's a selection of the more daft, breathless and downright banal headlines from the past week: 'Oasis mural made of bucket hats unveiled ahead of gigs'; 'Mad for it! More tickets on the way for Edinburgh Oasis gigs'; 'Principality Stadium confirms roof decision for Oasis Live 2025'; 'Late-night trams will run for Oasis Heaton Park shows: all you need to know'. Had, say, Led Zeppelin reformed – sadly about as likely as Liam displaying an iota of humility – I could understand the excitement. Ticketmaster could have done its worst with dynamic pricing and I would have spanked any money on a credit card to see them. But Oasis – Liam, Noel, that bloke called Bonehead and the other ones – produce music that has elevated mediocrity to hitherto unseen heights. There is not an ounce of nuance or even guile in their back catalogue; comparisons with the Beatles are facile and ludicrous. As a lyricist, Noel gives William McGonagall a run for his money – 'Slowly walking down the hall/ Faster than a cannonball'. Sorry, what? 'Roll With It', 'Don't Look Back in Anger' (I do, actually) – it doesn't matter which song you take, each one is the dirge of a football chant with none of the wit. Actually, any fan chanting 'After all, you're my Alan Ball' to the tune of 'Wonderwall' could have been plucked from the crumbling home stand at Maine Road – back when Alan Ball took Man City down to the old Division One (younger readers: Man City used to be shite) – and stuck in front of a mic. No one would have noticed the difference. I dug out footage from Oasis's 'legendary' (more on the misuse of superlatives later) Knebworth concerts from 1996. Liam's performance reminded me of George Best's assessment of David Beckham: 'He can't kick a ball with his left foot, can't head a ball, can't tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that, he's all right.' Oasis at Knebworth is particularly triggering for me. That summer I was at a party after my A-levels being chatted up by the local hottie. It was all going so well until he asked me… if I'd like to go with him to see Oasis at Knebworth the following week. Reader, it was like someone stuck a needle in my arm and sucked out all the desire. I don't think we were familiar with the term 'meet-cute' in Ipswich in 1996, but this was the antithesis – a 'meet-vomit'? I do vividly remember the crushing disappointment (he was so good-looking) and acute sense of being cheated. If only I'd had the good fortune to have been born 30 years earlier, then my future husband might have asked me out with an invitation to see Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wight Festival. So who are all these people who've coughed up nearly £400 to go to these reunion shows? There are some surprising punters. 'Have you got your Oasis tickets?' asked the beautician when I went for a regular waxing appointment last September. 'I don't really like them,' she explained, 'but so many clients asked if I was going, I thought I'd try and get tickets.' We know that hysterical behaviour is contagious, viz the many cases of schoolgirl fainting fits, Gabriel Oak's sheep going over the cliff in Far From the Madding Crowd etc – could this explain it? I like to think it's a factor because the alternative – that people are deeply passionate about the band and think their music says something profound – is just so depressing. The beautician is going with a friend to Manchester for the weekend. It's 48 hours without childcare for her, so I do see the attraction – but you could send me a pre-paid Norland nanny for a year and I'd still decline. 'They're iconic, aren't they,' she says, and I smile politely while inwardly pulling Munch's 'The Scream'. If Oasis are 'iconic' and those Knebworth gigs 'legendary', then I don't know where this leaves, say, Woodstock, Hendrix at Monterey or Queen at Live Aid. They're overused words these days and should incur a custodial sentence for misuse. I've trawled Reddit threads that laud Noel as a 'genius'. But then, what does that leave you with to describe Jimmy Page – with whom Noel has, apparently, formed a friendship? Genius isn't like secondary smoke; you can't absorb it by being in the same room. I asked a member of the younger generation what they think – in the form of my eldest son, who is 11 and teaching himself the guitar from the Yousician app. 'Is there any Oasis on there?' I ask him. 'Yeah,' he says, looking up for a moment. 'But they're a bit boring, aren't they,' and he goes back to James Hetfield's thrash metal power chords tutorial. Of course, there's the faint hope that the Gallagher brothers might have one of their 'legendary' fallings-out, perhaps even a punch-up on stage – and it's all off. Ironically, as the Oasis juggernaut rolls into town, elsewhere some genuine rock icons will be performing. This weekend, the Black Sabbath reunion at Villa Park is being livestreamed for the thousands who didn't manage to get tickets. The week after, I'll be in Hyde Park to watch Neil Young. It's an overused term these days, but what utter legends they are…

Scots kids 'heartbroken' by flood of fake Labubu dolls as counterfeit craze spirals out of control
Advice Direct Scotland said counterfeit Labubu dolls – the latest toy craze – were duping collectors, draining wallets and disappointing kids. Scots kids have been left "heartbroken" by a flood of fake Labubu toys as the counterfeit craze spirals out of control, a top consumer charity has revealed. Advice Direct Scotland said counterfeit Labubu dolls – the latest toy craze – were duping collectors, draining wallets and disappointing kids. The quirky, wide-eyed Labubu - a mischievous forest creature from the cult-favourite Pop Mart 'Monsters' series - have been spotted with celebrities like Rihanna, Dua Lipa and Cher. But the toys have now become the latest victim of global counterfeiting. Originally designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, Labubu has exploded in popularity, with some rare editions fetching up to £135,000 at auction. And fakes are now pouring into Scotland. Hazel Knowles, consumer project lead at Advice Direct Scotland, said: 'We are concerned by the surge in fake Labubu toys flooding the Scottish market. 'These counterfeits are not only deceiving collectors and draining hard-earned money from families, but they're also leaving children heartbroken. 'We urge consumers to be vigilant, buy only from trusted retailers and report suspected fakes. 'No child should be disappointed by a counterfeit toy made with inferior materials. 'We've had reports that the counterfeit goods are of very poor quality and are not made to last at all.' Funny memes and TikTok videos have made the Labubu toys go viral turning the dolls into ultra-desirable collectibles. One dad, who turned to Advice Direct Scotland for support, said: 'After closer inspection, I noticed several discrepancies that indicated these products were not genuine. 'The packaging and branding differ from authentic Labubu collectables. I have also verified that the QR code on them does not go to the correct website of the manufacturer.' The telltale signs of a fake include overly vibrant colours, incorrect teeth count, with authentic Labubus having exactly nine. Counterfeits also have missing UV authenticity stamps, introduced in 2024. The surge in fake goods has been traced back to factories in China, where production lines churn out thousands of knockoffs priced as low as £4 each. Chinese authorities have recently shut down several plants and seized more than 20,000 fake Labubu toys in a single day. Despite the crackdown, many of these fakes had already slipped through customs and into the hands of unsuspecting UK buyers. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

East Ayrshire Trading Standards also issued a warning on Tuesday, saying it was "aware of concerns of safety and counterfeiting" of the popular dolls, urging potential buyers to "please take care". Pop Mart, the Beijing-based toy giant behind Labubu, has yet to comment publicly on the UK counterfeit wave. But insiders say the company is reportedly working with international customs and IP lawyers to stem the tide. Hazel Knowles added: 'To be on the safe side, only purchase Labubu toys from verified retailers. If the deal looks too good to be true - it probably is. 'With Labubu mania showing no signs of slowing, collectors are being urged to stay vigilant. 'It's like Pokémon in the '90s but with shoddy counterfeits flooding the market. These fakes are all over the place now.' With official supplies out of stock at many US Pop Mart branches, enthusiasts there have also turned to resale sites. On one resale website, Labubus originally priced at around £37 are being sold for anywhere between £105 and £229. If you have a complaint or concern about goods or services, you can contact Advice Direct Scotland on 0808 164 6000. The helpline is open from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. You can chat to an advisor online or contact them via social media.

Giant Oasis tribute artwork to be unveiled in Cardiff
The 13-foot-tall portrait made entirely of bucket hats will be unveiled at St David's Cardiff on June 28, celebrating the opening of Oasis' '25 Reunion Tour in the city on July 4. Created by Welsh artist Nathan Wyburn, the monochrome artwork features Liam and Noel Gallagher in their mid-90s prime and has been dubbed 'The Wonder Wall.' Helen Morgan, centre director at St David's Cardiff, said: "We're excited to be a part of the city where the Oasis '25 Reunion Tour officially begins. "If kickstarting the tour in Cardiff isn't a seal of approval, we don't know what is. "To show our appreciation, we're unveiling The Wonder Wall with what we hope will be an iconic bucket-hat portrait of Noel and Liam. "Some might say it's just a load of bucket hats, but we think it's definitely, maybe, the best use of buckets hats ever." The portrait took four days to construct and spans nearly 20 feet wide. It will be displayed on the upper level of St David's Eastside dining quarter, which will be temporarily renamed 'The Wonder Wall' in honour of the tribute. The unveiling event will include a play-to-win 'Supersonic Spinner,' Gallagher-themed giveaways, and a Britpop soundtrack to get fans in the mood ahead of the tour's opening weekend. The Wonder Wall will remain on display until after the Oasis gigs, during regular centre opening hours. The Oasis '25 Reunion Tour marks the band's first time performing together in more than a decade, and the Cardiff show is expected to draw fans from across the UK and beyond. Oasis rose to fame in the 1990s with hits like Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova, becoming one of the defining bands of the Britpop era. Ms Morgan said the tribute is a fitting way to celebrate the band's legacy and their connection to the city. She said: "We wanted to do something special that fans would remember. "We hope The Wonder Wall will become a must-see for visitors and a great way to kick off the summer."
