Ridiculous price of hotel and Airbnb accommodation near Oasis gigs revealed
FANS heading to Oasis gigs this summer might need deep pockets - not just for tickets, but for somewhere to stay. Airbnb costs near the band's tour stops have soared, with Manchester and Edinburgh seeing the worst price hikes, according to ticket comparison site SeatPick. 1 For the Manchester shows on July 19 and 20, Airbnb rates are an eye-watering 370.7% higher than normal. A one-night stay during the gigs averages £467.28, compared to just £99.28 the following week. On July 19, the cost jumps even further to £558.52 - a staggering 401.7% increase. Edinburgh isn't far behind. Fans attending gigs on August 8, 9 and 12 will pay an average of £685.77 for a night, up 29.7% from the usual £528.67. The priciest date overall is August 8, with rates hitting £724.92 for a single night. SeatPick analysed Airbnb listings for two guests looking for an 'entire home' in the city centre, comparing prices on the tour date to those from the week before and after. London fares much better, with minimal price hikes. For shows on July 25, 26 and 30, and August 2 and 3, Airbnb rates rise just 2.8% on average. In fact, there's even a slight drop in costs for the July 30 gig, with stays averaging £159.57 compared to £163.72 the week before. Oasis launch shock football club partnership despite Liam and Noel Gallagher's dying love for Man City It's not just Airbnb prices soaring - The Sun can reveal that hotels are ramping up their rates during the tour as well. Manchester's Prestwich Premier Inn near Heaton Park is charging £349 for a night during the July 19 show but drops to £154 the following week. In Edinburgh, a night at the City Centre Premier Inn costs £349 for the August 8 gig, compared to £309 the week after. Meanwhile, London's Wembley Premier Inn charges £381 for the night of the July 25 show but plummets to just £78 the following week. The Gallagher brothers made a triumphant return at the Principality stadium in Cardiff on July 4 after 15 years of feuding. Fans were delighted by the comeback - but not so much by how much they had to pay for a drink. Shocking pictures from inside the Cardiff stadium earlier this month revealed pint prices had climbed to a huge £8.20. Pints of Heineken, Strongbow, Dark Fruits and Murphy's were all priced at this level, while half-pints were £4.10. Even the no-alcohol Heineken 0.0 was £5.20 for a pint. Merchandise prices for Oasis at Manchester's Heaton Park Adidas track jacket - £90 Adidas football shirt - £85 What's the Story blue tone hoodie - £70 Spray Live '25 hoodie - £70 Adidas Live '25 t-shirt - £55 Decca navy gold logo long sleeve - £50 Oasis sweatshirt - £50 Adidas 3 stripes t-shirt scarlet royal - £45 Collage photo Live '25 world tour T-shirt - £40 Oasis Live '25 world tour T-shirt - £40 Wonderwall Live '25 world tour T-shirt - £40 Detroit bus photo T-shirt - £40 Live '25 world tour T-shirt - £40 Live '25 gold T-shirt - £40 Elliptical tour t-shirt - 40 Manchester event T-shirt - £40 Paper cut out photo T-shirt - £40 Manchester poster print - £40 Decca logo reversible bucket hat - £35 Live '25 logo reversible bucket hat - £35 Live '25 football scarf - £25 Half Faces Live '25 world tour poster - £20 Wonderwall Live '25 world tour poster - £20 Live '25 four pin badges set - £15 Live '25 tour lanyard - £15 Live '25 mac ball - £10 Live '25 tour programme - £20 Logo Live '25 tote bag - £20 Live '25 repeat fabric green keyring - £10 Oasis fans are expected to spend over £1billion across the 17-date UK tour. The average fan is expected to spend £766 on tickets, travel, accommodation, and merchandise, according to Barclays. The tour, tipped to be the most profitable in UK history, will see 1.4million gig-goers attend shows nationwide, boosting local business sales. Fans have embraced 90s nostalgia, turning up in bucket hats, parkas, and Oasis-themed outfits. But merchandise prices have sparked anger online, with fans calling them a "cash cow". Items like a £10 keyring, £85 Adidas football shirt, and £70 hoodie were among the priciest at the Cardiff venue. When tickets went on sale last summer, fans queued on Ticketmaster for up to 12 hours. Ticketmaster is now facing legal action for charging £350 for seats worth £150, misleading fans during the sale. Twickets and Ticketmaster's resale site are still selling a limited number of tickets at their original price, plus fees. Last month, the Home Office warned gig-goers that £1.6million was lost to ticket fraud in 2024.

SeatPick set out to find out the top ten musicians, all of which either having appeared or about to perform some of the biggest festivals in the country. Will it be Drake who takes the top spot, or a more unlikely hero from the '00s music scene? Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder. Or should that be the ear of the beholder in this case? Midway through the UK summer festival calendar, with Boomtown: Chapter 4, Creamfields, Y Not, and Leeds and Reading Festivals among those still to come, the topic of who has the sexiest voice performing this year was brought up. It's one thing to have that physical good look, but if your singing is akin to the tone-deaf stylings at your local karaoke bar, then that attraction quickly withers – so many friends have told me anyway. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad So, who has the sexiest voice at UK music festivals in 2025? Who is set to have hearts flutter when they take to the stage during the UK summer festival season 2025? | Getty Images/Canva SeatPick's music experts set out to identify this, by firstly compiling a list of popular UK festivals, including Latitude, Reading and Leeds, Wireless, Isle of Wight, Glastonbury, BST Hyde Park, and Parklife. From these, they selected headliners or main acts with over one million Spotify monthly listeners for analysis. Their methodology involved analysing a ten-second sound clip of each chosen artist speaking from interviews or podcasts, ensuring only the artist's voice was present to prevent inaccuracies. For bands, the lead singer's voice was used. These clips were then fed into Praat software, which analysed speech phonetics to determine the fundamental frequency (F0) of each audio extract by identifying glottal pulses. To establish a benchmark for vocal attractiveness, SeatPick referenced academic research: male vocal attractiveness peaks around 96 Hz, while female vocal attractiveness is optimal between 184.6 Hz and 261.9 Hz, with the middle of this range (219.22 Hz) used as the female benchmark. An overall "vocal attractiveness" score was then calculated for each artist as the percentage difference from these ideal frequencies. All data was finalised in July 2025. So, with the science at hand, who made the top ten? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Who are the 10 sexiest voices appearing at music festivals in 2025? Leading the pack, surprisingly, with their unique vocal charm is Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst. His distinctive sound has resonated profoundly, securing them the top spot with a score of 9.92. Following closely is the undeniable talent of Lola Young, a vocalist whose powerful and emotive delivery earned her a score of 9.82, proving that a truly sexy voice transcends genre. Kele Okereke from Bloc Party comes in third, demonstrating that collective male vocals can possess a captivating quality, scoring 9.77. The smooth, effortless delivery of Drake places him fourth with a score of 9.69, highlighting the seductive power of his relaxed flow. Rounding out the top five is the breakout sensation Olivia Rodrigo, whose expressive and versatile voice has clearly made a significant impact, landing her a score of 9.68.
