Important detail confirmed for Oasis Croke Park gigs just over 90 days away

Important detail confirmed for Oasis Croke Park gigs just over 90 days away

The door times at Croke Park have been confirmed for Oasis' much-anticipated return to Dublin later this summer.
The Britpop legends will play Croke Park on August 16 and 17 with support from Richard Ashcroft and Cast.
And for those looking to get in early to get their favoured spot, doors are open at 4.30pm on Saturday, August 16 and 4.40pm on Sunday, August 17, according to promoters MCD, reports Dublin Live.
Tickets for the Dublin gigs have long since sold out, but with just over 90 days to go, there are a small number of resale tickets currently on offer on Ticketmaster. However, they don't come cheap, with one seated ticket currently on sale for €502.90.
The Gallagher brothers caused a stir last summer when putting one of the most famous feuds in music to bed and announcing a series of comeback shows, which will get underway at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, July 4. Former bass player Andy Bell, who replaced original bassist Guigsy in 1999, recently confirmed he will also be back in the fold.
The full band line-up has yet to be officially confirmed but it has widely been reported to include founding member Bonehead on guitar alongside Gem Archer, with newcomer Joey Waronker on drums. Liam has recently dropped some hints of what to expect from the setlist, with some fan favourites looking like they won't be included.
The younger Gallagher appeared to rule out Hey Now and Go Let It Out when questioned on X recently. More surprisingly, Liam also suggested that Acquiesce, a song about how the brothers need each other, had also not made the cut.
Responding to one disappointed fan about a tune missing out, Liam said: "The setlist is done... now don't take it personally and call me hurty names as it's not my fault we can't play them all."
This year is shaping up to a milestone year for Liam, 52, as he is also set to become a granddad for the first time. His daughter Molly Moorish-Gallagher recently announced her pregnancy.
Molly, 27, revealed on Instagram yesterday that she is expecting a baby with her partner, Liverpool footballer Nat Phillips. Sharing the news alongside a pregnancy emoji, she wrote: "Bulking season."
The post also contained a series of photos related to her pregnancy, including some showcasing her growing bump. Another showed a sneak peek at the baby clothes they've already bought, with various items displayed on a sheet in the photo.
One snap showed a T-shirt emblazoned with: "Cool mums have cool kids." Phillips, 28, is on loan at Derby County from Premier League title winners Liverpool, who had been the biggest challengers to Liam's beloved Man City for most of the past decade.
But the singer is showing no signs of wavering loyalties despite his grandchild's father having featured for his team's great rivals. When asked by a fan what he hopes the tot's first words would be, Liam simply replied: "CITY".

Irish people love live music but we're not fans of the high cost of tickets, research shows

PEOPLE IN IRELAND love live music, but two thirds say the high cost of tickets is a barrier to them attending concerts, according to research commissioned by the Irish Music Rights Organisation. IMRO published a report on research into the state of the Irish music industry today that showed that the average adult in Ireland spends almost €1,000 per year on music related products and services, and that the industry as a whole contributes €1 billion to the economy annually. Live events are the most popular way people spend money on music, generating €786 million annually, IMRO's report said. On average, Irish adults spent €757 on music events last year. Big venue concerts accounted for the largest share, with people spending €298 on tickets. This was closely followed by music festivals, which drew an average spend of €194. Advertisement While people spend plenty of money on music events, the IMRO report said that 'many members of the public are feeling the pinch'. Two thirds (66%) of adults flagged the cost of tickets as the main barrier to attending gigs. Almost half (49%) also cited high accommodation costs as an issue when considering going to music events. Hotels have angered the public and been called out by politicians for hiking room prices around the times of high-profile performances. The upcoming Oasis reunion tour has been no exception and was highlighted by Tánaiste Simon Harris last year. 'I would encourage everybody to engage fairly in relation to this. The issues around price gouging, around hiking up things at the time of major events, doesn't actually help anyone but ends up giving our city bad reputation,' he said. Coldplay fans felt the sting of high accommodation prices when the band played in Croke Park last year. Ticketmaster, which dominates the market for concert ticket sales, has also come in for criticism from music fans for its use of 'dynamic pricing', which increases the cost of tickets based on demand. The cost of tickets for the upcoming Oasis tour caused enough outrage among the public that a bill is now in the works that would make dynamic pricing illegal.
