Oasis portrait made of 3,000 bucket hats unveiled in Cardiff
A giant portrait of Liam and Noel Gallagher has been unveiled in Cardiff's St David's Shopping Centre ahead of their sell out reunion tour, next weekend. The artwork is made entirely from 3,000 bucket hats and stands 16 feet high - and stretches 20 feet wide to celebrate Oasis choosing Cardiff to kick start their tour. Commissioned by St David's and brought to life by renowned Welsh artist Nathan Wyburn, the Wonder Wall portrait took four days to complete and is now on display in the upper level of the centre's Eastside dining quarter. Helen Morgan, Centre Director at St David's Cardiff, said: 'We're excited and honoured that our beloved Cardiff is home to the inaugural gig of the Oasis Live '25 reunion tour. 'We wanted to celebrate the city being the first place in the world where fans can see the reunion, so we commissioned our unique Wonder Wall portrait to pay homage to Noel and Liam and the upcoming epic international tour. '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.'

Oasis Ends a 15-Year Pause With a Familiar Goal: Conquering America
Last August, when Oasis announced a reunion for its first tour since 2009, the fractious British band led by the brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher released a statement filled with exactly the sort of full-throated grandeur and bravado that marked its rise in the 1990s: 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.' When the band trumpeted the North American leg of the tour a few weeks later, the tone was a bit more passive-aggressive: 'America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.' The distance between those two proclamations says a lot about the trans-Atlantic legacy of this combative band, which performs the first show of its sold-out reunion tour in Cardiff, Wales, on Friday. Oasis will play 17 stadium concerts in the U.K. and Ireland before arriving in North America in late August for a nine-show run; two additional London gigs will follow, then dates in Asia, Australia and South America. When tickets went on sale for the U.K. shows last August, a reported 14 million people tried to buy them, crashing ticketing websites and angering fans. In October, seats for the gigs in North America went fast too, selling out in an hour. Michael Rapino, the chief executive of Live Nation, later called it 'the biggest on-sale in history.' Reunions generate interest, and the improbability of this one, with the Gallaghers sniping at each other for a decade-plus, almost certainly turbocharged it. The music has also aged well: So much of the band's seven-album catalog, which stretched from 1994 to 2008, already sounded like classic rock when it first emerged. 'Wonderwall,' in particular, has become an inescapable anthem. On Spotify, it's the third-most played song from the 1990s, with over 2.3 billion streams. Covers of the track in every imaginable style — rap-rock, country-soul, punk-pop, chillwave, metalcore, big band, lounge-pop, electro-funk, cool jazz, bossa nova, dubstep, mariachi — have tallied hundreds of millions more plays. The wistful singles 'Don't Look Back in Anger' and 'Champagne Supernova' are nearly as popular and have proven similarly durable to wide-ranging reinterpretation. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

I Grew Up On Britpop – This Is What I'm Wearing To See Oasis Live In 2025
Gant, Shield Piqué Polo Shirt Damson Madder, Remie Rugby Shirt Hollister, Boxy Oasis Graphic Tee Urban Outfitters, Oasis Cami Amazon, Manchester City 1993 Away Retro Shirt Abercrombie & Fitch, High Rise Loose Jean Mango, Frayed Hem Denim Shorts Uniqlo, Cotton Blend Parka Adidas, Tour Firebird Track Top Zara, Leather Effect Bomber Jacket Burberry, Cotton Check Bucket Hat Free People, Moldable Crochet Packable Hat Ralph Lauren, Anchor-Logo Cotton Bucket Hat Adidas, Adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers Finlay & Co x Noel Gallagher, Round Frame Sunglasses Ray-Ban, RB4105 Folding Wayfarer Nylon Sunglasses Ask me, and most people in Britain, what the highlight of summer 2025 is, and there's no hestiation – it's the Oasis reunion tour. It's been about 15 years since the Gallagher brothers' infamous breakup, and now, they're officially no longer looking back in anger. Starting next Friday, the Mancunian legends are returning to the stage, swaggering through 19 shows across the UK and Ireland – including seven at Wembley Stadium. If the chaos of last August's ticket scramble is anything to go by (I had three devices going and still didn't snag one), the 'Oasis Live '25 tour' as it's being called, is a huge deal. ©Getty Images/Martyn Goodacre I'll be honest, while the Oasis reunion is big news musically, for me, it's not just about the tunes. The band's Britpop takeover of the spotlight has also marked a blazing return in all things bloke core on the fashion front. We're talking bucket hats, polo shirts, zip-up track jackets, oversized parkas and the undeniable swagger that's key to perfectly emulating the Gallagher uniform. And much like the sparkly bodysuits at the Eras tour and cowboy boots at Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter shows, we're dressing in theme for the big '90s reunion. ©Getty Images/John Ferguson/Mirrorpix Naturally, if you're lucky enough to have secured tickets (congratulations, I'm jealous), you're likely scrolling through archival photos of the lads for inspiration: from Liam onstage in a parka to Noel sporting his trusty old Stone Island jacket with a can of Stella. Whether you're dipping through your dad's closet for a weathered Fred Perry polo or hunting for a bucket hat that serves Britpop with a distinctly modern flavour for 2025, the best part about the Gallagher uniform is that it's packed with stuff you'd find on the shelves of many a high street brand. In fact, there's a special Adidas Originals x Oasis collaboration, that's stacked with concert essentials. ©Getty Images/Fred Duval/FilmMagic To save you hours of scrolling through blokeish inspo pics, the kind that ace that effortlessly cool and slightly cocky Britpop style, we've combed through the digital racks to find you the best outfits you can wear to the Oasis reunion concert that'll live forever in your mind (and on your Instagram grid). The Gallaghers have always been partial to sporty polo shirts, and given the preppy style has been trending this year, there's plenty to choose from. Of course, you could also go the football shirt route and snag a Man City jersey or stick to a classic band tee. Gant, Shield Piqué Polo Shirt Damson Madder, Remie Rugby Shirt Hollister, Boxy Oasis Graphic Tee Urban Outfitters, Oasis Cami Amazon, Manchester City 1993 Away Retro Shirt Luckily for those of us wary of the return of skinny jeans, the Oasis revival is firmly in the baggy category. So whether you opt for wide-leg jeans, a pair of tailored shorts or a stonewashed denim mini to keep the rock and roll vibes in the sweltering heat, you'll be comfortable while also being on theme. Abercrombie & Fitch, High Rise Loose Jean Mango, Frayed Hem Denim Shorts Levi's, Icon Skirt While it's pretty much impossible to imagine Liam onstage without a parka, given that the Oasis Live '25 shows are scheduled for peak British summer, we might suggest switching those signature jackets for something more lightweight. Consider tracksuit classics from Adidas or take notes from the lads' affinity for double denim with a boxy Levi's jacket. Uniqlo, Cotton Blend Parka Adidas, Tour Firebird Track Top Levi's, Trucker Jacket Zara, Leather Effect Bomber Jacket You simply can't skip the bucket hat at an Oasis concert. And while fans have been warned against donning one while driving, the nostalgic hat will have you looking and feeling cool in the July sun as you sway along to Wonderwall . Adidas, Tour Bucket Hat Burberry, Cotton Check Bucket Hat Free People, Moldable Crochet Packable Hat Price: £40 Ralph Lauren, Anchor-Logo Cotton Bucket Hat From Liam Gallagher's limited edition Adidas LG2 SPZL in bottle green back in 2022, to the brand's latest Oasis Live '25 collection for the tour, Adidas has long been a band favourite. So, round out your concert outfit with a pair of Spezials or Sambas for a look that's perfect for dancing the night away. Adidas, Adidas Originals Handball Spezial Trainers Adidas, Samba OG Trainer Of course, sunglasses are essential summer concert gear, and you really can't go wrong with a retro pair for Oasis. Take style notes from Liam and opt for a pair of light-lensed Ray-Bans, or opt for a chic acetate pair from the Finlay x Noel Gallagher collab, 255 of which will be donated to Teenage Cancer Trust.

Iconic '90s Band Makes Huge Announcement Amidst Shocking Reunion, and Fans Are Upset
Iconic '90s Band Makes Huge Announcement Amidst Shocking Reunion, and Fans Are Upset originally appeared on Parade. One of the most impossible things that could have happened has been making waves in the music world recently, and that is the reunion of Oasis. The band, which is known for the legendary feud between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, recently began a slew of reunion shows, the news of which has shocked everyone familiar with their exploits. The many episodes between the brothers have become musical legend, whether that was Noel hitting Liam over the head with a cricket bat, Liam skipping the 1996 'Unplugged" performance just to heckle his brother from the balcony in disguise, or Noel quitting the band in 2007 after Liam smashed one of his guitars during an altercation at a show. That is what Oasis has been known as for so long, which is why many have been clamoring to see the brothers performing with each other again. This has led to the band deciding to put more tickets on sale for the shows, but apparently, it hasn't gone as planned, and fans are not happy. People are mainly up in arms over the system in which these tickets are becoming available. Members of the band's website will receive a ticket code in their email, wherein they will have to use the code to try and get the tickets. From what commenters are saying, it sounds like this system has been a bit of a mess, with fans unable to get tickets, or simply being denied the option to try. "Got a ticket code. Still couldn't get any." "If I haven't got a code yet, does this mean I'm not gonna get a ticket?" "I've got a code but only for Cardiff and Manchester. I need London. 😢" Between not receiving a code, not being able to get the tickets with the code, or receiving a code for the wrong venue, fans have been put through a cluster to try and see their favorite band perform. Hopefully, a solution can be worked out so that it takes more than luck to see the Oasis reunion tour. People have been looking forward to it for so long.🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Iconic '90s Band Makes Huge Announcement Amidst Shocking Reunion, and Fans Are Upset first appeared on Parade on Jun 26, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 26, 2025, where it first appeared.
