Oasis tour programme features Buckley's Tivoli from 1994 gig
Oasis are back on stage for the first time in 16 years, kicking off their tour in Cardiff on Friday. And the official souvenir programme picked up by thousands of fans features a callback to their early days when they played at the Tivoli in Buckley. It includes a photo of the Buckley venue with a caption describing it as the location of the band's first gig following the release of the breakthrough album Definitely Maybe in 1994. The Oasis reunion comes 30 years after they performed at The Tivoli. The band performed at the Buckley-based venue back in August 31, 1994, where the crowd paid just £6 for the privilege of watching Oasis - a far cry from what ticket prices have been for the 2025 tour dates. The venue is celebrating its 100th anniversary, having opened in May, 1925. The venue posted on social media: "The Tivoli has just got EVEN more famous - Oasis tour program." The Tivoli has just got EVEN more famous 😃 - oasis tour program. People responded, congratulating the venue that has hosted music gigs over the past decades. Neil Hayes said: "Brilliant to see. A truly iconic venue!" Noel and Liam's gig at The Tivoli came just two days before the release of Oasis' debut album Definitely Maybe - which turned 30 in 2024. Their gig at The Tiv has gone down in Oasis folklore as one of the band's wildest, thanks to Evan Dando (The Lemonheads frontman), who invaded the stage while the band played Live Forever, before ending the evening performing an impromptu acoustic show on the venue's roof. There is also a story of Liam Gallagher having things thrown at him while on the stage. Following the incident, Liam said to the audience: 'If you're feeling a bit of a geezer right, whoever threw the f******g bottle, let's have you up here and I'll slap you in front of the crowd. 'Not here to have things thrown at me, not a f*****g coconut stall.' Over the years, and right up to today, a host of famous acts have graced the stage at The Tivoli, including Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Skindred, Super Furry Animals, Bay City Rollers, Goldie Lookin Chain, Shed Seven, and The Charlatans, The Tivoli (Image: Newsquest) The programme is for the first Oasis tour in 16 years. On Friday night, Oasis thanked their fans for 'putting up with us over the years', as they closed their first gig together in 16 years. Noel and Liam Gallagher swaggered on to the stage before waving at concertgoers at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, the first stop on their long-awaited worldwide reunion tour. The brothers, who had not performed together since their dramatic split in 2009, blasted through their setlist, kicking off with Hello, from their second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? During the gig, the lead singer apologised to fans for how long it had taken for them to reunite. Liam spoke to the audience several times throughout the set, saying: 'Hello people, it's been too long,' before their third song, (What's the Story). Before launching into Cigarettes And Alcohol, Liam demanded the audience embrace, telling fans to turn around and hug a stranger. He said: 'Right then beautiful people, I want to see you all turn around and put your arms round each other. 'And when the tune starts, jump up and f****** down.' Both brothers made joking references to the dynamic pricing scandal, which caused outrage among fans trying to buy tickets for shows in the UK and Ireland, with some standard tickets appearing to jump from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing. After Liam walked off stage following Roll With It, Noel took over singing duties for the first time. He quoted the audience a price the gig was worth, before saying: 'It's just gone up.' Later, Liam said: 'Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?' (Image: Jordan Pettitt/PA Wire) During the final bars of Live Forever, a picture of Diogo Jota, the Liverpool footballer who died in a car accident on Thursday, was displayed, and the crowd cheered and applauded the gesture. As they broke into fan-favourite Champagne Supernova, their final song of the evening, the lead singer said: 'Right you beautiful people, this is it. 'Nice one for putting up with us over the years, we know we've been difficult. 'Champagne Supernova, nice one.' While the brothers shared no banter on stage throughout the gig, they very briefly high-fived and half-hugged each other's shoulders after their closing track. (Image: Jordan Pettitt/PA Wire) Oasis was supported by fellow 90s group Cast and former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft. Cast, an indie rock band from Liverpool, also paid tribute to Diogo Jota, dedicating their top 10 hit Walkaway to the footballer. Ashcroft said he was 'proud to be here on this historic night', before playing many of his biggest songs, finishing with Bittersweet Symphony. Tens of thousands of fans descended on Cardiff ahead of the gig. The stadium is able to host a maximum of 74,500 people. On Friday afternoon, every pub and bar along St Mary's Street in the Welsh capital was filled with people waiting for the concert to start, with the majority wearing the Britpop band's merchandise. Fans Lachlan Weekes and Jayden Helm, who spent more than a day travelling from Sydney, Australia, to attend the concert, were among them. Mr Weekes said: 'We've been planning it forever. We always said that if they got back together, we'd be at that first show.' Mr Helm said: 'We've been lifelong fans – we're 22 and 21, so haven't really had a chance to see them before. 'We always said it was worth it to come, we wouldn't miss it for the world. To take time off work to come over here, it's more than worth it.' Lawrence Evans, from just outside Swansea, said his 'life changed' when he started listening to the band, as he then started to play music and write songs. He said: 'They were the band that made me realise how much guitar music meant to me.' His son Jimmy said of the concert: 'The fact that it's in Wales is really special for us. 'It's the first time I get to see Oasis, (my dad) he's lost count, he's seen them countless times. 'I've been waiting for this day all my life.'

This is how I travel on holiday, and why you should too
Parents who travel with their children say how wonderful it is to view the world through their eyes. They say they love building memories for them of the exciting places and people they experience. But we all have a child lurking inside of us, according to Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. It may only be a metaphor for the childlike aspects of our personality and emotional state, but ignore it at your peril, or your inner child will scream for four hours straight on the long-haul flight and throw a tantrum if you don't take it to Disneyland. We need to give these little brats – sorry, adorable youngsters – a good time because otherwise travelling can just be too grown-up for words. That means giving ourselves permission to spend half a day in an amusement park – the Tivoli in Copenhagen, or the Prater in Vienna – and to do silly things, like hire a pedal-boat on Lake Geneva, or stop for an ice-cream whenever you feel like it. In Bordeaux, the Miroir d'Eau, or Water Mirror, is a thing of beauty – but it is also a thing of fun. An adult would stand there and aim for a symmetrical photograph in which the pool of shallow water reflects the shimmering magnificence of the Place de la Bourse and surrounding monuments. They would tell you the reservoir of water beneath it contains 800 cubic metres of water, that it operates ecologically as a closed circuit, and that it was designed by Michel Corajoud in 2006. A child would just run into it, laughing, delighted by the finale of thick clouds of fog. Inner children don't know there are any rules to break, which gives them a great advantage over adults. My partner is keener on luxury spas than she is on visiting aquariums and zoos, so I head off to spend a couple of hours with manta ray sharks or wander through butterfly enclosures on my own. Except I'm not on my own, because mini-me is always with big-me, having a grand old time. I still laugh out loud every time I think of the polar bear in New York's Central Park Zoo. As he did his daily laps in the pool, he'd press his giant white furry bottom against the viewing glass, right in front of my face, before pushing off to the other end. Biggest bum I have ever seen. Imagine if he'd farted! (Kids love farting.) Feeding your inner child is even more amusing. It's incredible the rubbish they are prepared to eat, at any hour of the day. Chocolate is especially good – for breakfast. In Naples, it's worth seeking out the best pizzeria for a margherita (Pizzeria Da Attilio), to feel that little face light up; and in Singapore, follow the crowds to the best ice kachang stall (Annie's, at Tanjong Pagar hawker centre), for a frozen treat that's like a kid's birthday party on ice.
