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."
