Oasis tour Cardiff banned items and parking ahead of Liam and Noel's epic return
Oasis Live 25 - Cardiff Principality Stadium banned items and parking advice Liam and Noel Gallagher's return to the stage is now just weeks away with the tour kicking off on Friday 4th July. Oasis fans heading to Cardiff for the first night of the Live 25 tour have a long list of things they CAN'T bring into the stadium. According to the Principality Stadium's official website only small bags and handbags are allowed in the stadium. So any fans with larger rucksacks or suitcases will need to store them before they get there. The rules state: 'Due to the current unprecedented security situation, it's better for everyone if you do not bring a bag at all. We will not permit large bags into the stadium but you will be permitted to take small bags and handbags in with you. We class small bags as no larger than 35cm x 40cm x 19cm or standard handbags. There are no bag storage facilities available at the stadium – please plan ahead if you intend travelling to Cardiff with a large bag.' Help is at hand as Cardiff has several companies that store large bags, including Stasher in the town centre which is open 24 hours a day. There is also a large list of items which are banned from entering the stadium. These include leaflets, banners and flags if they are deemed to be promotional, commercial, political or religious. As well as this the full list of banned items are: 'Fireworks, flares, pyrotechnics, all horns including air horns, musical instruments, smoke canisters, laser pointers, bottles, glasses, cans, cooking devices, banners, poles, large golf-type umbrellas, 'selfie 'sticks, knives, blades and other articles or containers – including any which could or might be used as a weapon – or any other item which in the reasonable opinion of the WRU Group, its servants or agents, could be used as a weapon or cause nuisance to others, are prohibited within the Stadium.'

According to the Principality website the doors open for the first and second Oasis live 25 shows on July 4 and July 5 at 5pm. In terms of parking in Cardiff close to the stadium, it may pay to plan ahead as it is extremely limited, with no dedicated spectator parking options at or near the stadium. It's recommended to pre-book parking in city centre car parks, which are a short walk away from the stadium, to ensure a space and avoid the hassle of searching on the day. The stadium website says: 'There's plenty of parking options in the city centre, but there is no dedicated spectator car parking at or immediately near the stadium, so be sure to plan your journey in advance. 'Please note that for Stadium concerts and events, road closures will be in place – please check your specific event information for further details.' The largest car parks in Cardiff are the NCP car parks at Dumfries Place with 955 spaces and Knox Road with 747 spaces. Dumfries Place is a 23 minute walk to the stadium with Knox Road 20 minutes. Other options include apps which allow you to rent parking spaces from locals like just The nearest train station to the Principality Stadium is Cardiff Central, which operates mainline services from West Wales, the Midlands, the South Coast and London. Upon arriving into the station, the ground is a five-minute walk away. Oasis began their rehearsals on May 20 with the first sessions being without Liam who was resting his voice. Noel Gallagher was pictured alongside Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and new drummer Joey Waronker. In April Noel broke his silence in a new book to talk about the Oasis Live 25 tour. On the demand for tickets, Noel told photographer Kevin Cummins: "I thought it'd be a big deal, but I was a bit taken aback by just how much of a big deal it was.' Liam then joined rehearsals with the rest of Oasis on June 3 and at the time Liam told fans he was feeling 'biblical' about being back with brother Noel performing for the first time in 16 years. Earlier this year Noel was quizzed to name his favourite Oasis song but replied: "Can I have more than one? Supersonic, Some Might Say, Live Forever and Rock'n'Roll Star." The UK shows will also feature special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast, who are friends with the band.
