Oasis release show details as tour set to kick off
The band split up in 2009 but announced their reunion tour last year, sending fans wild as they battled it out on Ticketmaster for some of the coveted tickets.
While Irish fans still have to wait almost two months before the brothers take to the stage at Croke Park, details of what to expect have been released ahead of the first gig of the tour. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite for the first time in more than a decade as they kick off their Oasis Live 25 tour this weekend in Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

Details released via social media confirmed that gates would be open from 5pm on Friday and Saturday with two acts set to warm-up the crowd before the brothers take to the stage later in the evening.
Indie rock band Cast and singer-songwriter Richard Ashcroft, known as the frontman of The Verve, support Oasis over the weekend — and are set to be on supporting duties throughout the tour.
Both acts have close ties to the Gallagher brothers over the years with Cast opening up for Liam earlier in 2024 as part of his Definitely Maybe 30th anniversary tour. View this post on Instagram

Richard, on the other hand, is said to be a good friend of both Noel and Liam. The 53-year-old was the lead singer of The Verve from 1989 until their split in 2009.
Following news of Oasis' reunion, speculation was that both Cast and Richard would be supporting, with the band confirming on Monday.
Cast will kick off the show, taking to the stage for 6pm and will be followed by Richard Ashcroft at 7pm.
Oasis are set to take to the stage at 8.15pm with the band confirming that curfew is 10.30pm — meaning they are due to play more than two hours of their greatest hits in their first show back.
It comes as the band collaborated with beloved Dublin soccer club, Bohemians FC for their latest jersey.
The fan-owned club have revealed the new design will be worn during the upcoming FAI Cup campaign to pay 'homage to the one of the greatest bands of all time, and two of Ireland's most famous sons.'
The highly coveted jersey features the Oasis logo in the traditional blue tones of Dublin City, with a 90s styling and sublimated chevron patterns, as well as a white and blue collar and sleeve trims.

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit. Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people. 4 Shoppers can choose from three styles Credit: 4 The cute set is available in Dunnes Stores Credit: Garrett White - Commissioned by The Sun Dublin Advertisement
