Soundchecks have been heard coming from the Principality Stadium lately ahead of Oasis’ first reunion gig at the venue in Cardiff. Liam Gallagher has since addressed speculation that he’s been rehearsing there with Noel Gallagher.
The song Cigarettes and Alcohol could be heard coming from the stadium on Monday, ahead of Friday’s opening night show on the Oasis Live ’25 Tour, as reported by WalesOnline. It sparked rumours that Liam and Noel have been there together to rehearse for their first shows in more than a decade.
Liam responded to a video of the apparent soundchecks on X yesterday. He wrote: “Mmm I’m not sure about the vocals there too aggressive he really needs to take a chill pill man he’s just so angry all the time I don’t know who he thinks he is as far as I’m concerned he’s just a bigmouth from up north. “

When asked by a fan to seemingly “confirm or deny” if it was him rehearsing, Liam replied on the platform: “I’ve been in my pool all day doing under water farts so it’s defo a recording from rehearsals unless there’s 2 of me which I’m absolutely 1 million per cent here for well there for as well. “
Liam however could be joking with fans, so it’s possible that the Gallagher brothers are in Cardiff already after all. His comment suggests that isn’t the case though.

Preparations at the Principality Stadium are already in full swing, highlighted by a seven-days-to-go video released last week. A comprehensive soundtrack is expected later this week.
Ahead of Oasis’ first comeback gig, the Mirror revealed just days ago that the band, which includes Liam, Noel, new drummer Joey Waronker and guitarists Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, are gearing up to ensure they sound their best on the tour.
A source told us: “With a new line up and it being such a huge first show, the boys will do some songs inside the venue too. Some tours would start with a smaller show or take a week or two to get into the groove again. “

They went on to say that the brothers want each show to be “massive”. The source continued by saying: “But there is no time for that and also Liam and Noel want every night to be massive. “

Further commenting on the tour, the source added: “This is such a huge comeback show and they are taking it very seriously. It all points to it being an incredible comeback tour. “
Comedian Jason Manford hits out at a Bournemouth hotel for selling his room to another guest after he arrived ‘late’

Jason Manford hit out at a hotel’s ‘ridiculous policy’ after he had to share a room with a friend because it was overbooked. The comedian, 44, was in Bournemouth on Saturday before his A Manford All Seasons show but the staff at the hotel told him the place was overbooked for the night.
Staff at the Village Hotel told Jason his room was sold to someone else as he arrived late. Because of the issue, he was forced to share a room with his friend Steve. “So we got to our hotel tonight in Bournemouth and it’s fully booked. We were like, ‘Fine, that’s good – well done you’,” he said.

“They went, ‘No, no, as in like without you’. So me and Steve, obviously [we’re] in separate rooms. And then we just discovered that basically if it’s fully booked it means that, [you have to share].
“Okay, don’t worry, it is what it is, these things happen – all that b******t! I mean we spent all day together! Oh, well, at least we’ve got a nice view of the car park. Oh well, these things happen and all that. Worse things happen at sea. But Village Hotel, just beware, if you are booking and it’s a busy day in a busy city…
“I mean, we’re lucky that [our booking] was two rooms because that fella coming behind us, a doctor as well, and no room for him. He just had to walk out, and like and there’s no rooms anywhere in Bournemouth tonight. Naughty that, naughty. I’ve heard of aeroplanes doing it, but I’ve never known in 25 years of touring, a hotel doing it. That’s not on, that is not on. “

He then showed the bedroom he was staying in and added: “So we’ve managed to make best of our situation. But that poor doctor, maybe he could sleep on the floor! Anyway, good night. ” In the caption, he said: “What’s your minimum expectation when you book a room at @Villagehotelsup? Staff were lovely but policy stinks! “
Jason returned to social media the next day to reveal the hotel management had been in touch and asked him to remove the video. He refused to take down the video and said he wanted to warn people about the company’s practice. Jason also reminded fans it wasn’t the staff’s fault, but the company’s itself.
“What I will say is it’s not the staff’s fault. And this is the problem with these big companies. That is somebody in an office, making a policy that makes them more money, but they don’t have to deal with the s**t,” he said to the camera.

“I didn’t kick off, but I can imagine people would. So the staff then have to deal with upset customers and getting vitriol in heightened emotional situations. So I’m not going to take the video down, because I think it’s right that people know that’s what your company are doing.
“And I’m going to leave it up as a bit of support for the staff, who aren’t being paid as much as the person who made the decision is and how much that person is making out of this ridiculous policy. So bear that in mind if these things do happen, same with an aeroplane. We’ve all been there, we’ve all been in a moment where the person we’re in contact with is the person that’s going to get it.
“But we have to take a step back sometimes, just remember that person is just doing their job and they don’t like it either. In fact that’s what the manager said to me last night, ‘I don’t like this either, I hate it’. It takes a video like this and us talking about it for them, hopefully to have a little look at their policies and think maybe this is not in the best interest of our staff and certainly not of the customer. “

Wales’ players say they are happy to be written off at Euro 2025 as they bid to cause an upset in Switzerland.
Having been drawn against defending champions England and formidable opponents in France and the Netherlands, Opta gives Wales just a 9% chance of getting out of their group, a 2% chance of reaching the semi-final and a 1% chance of reaching the final.
Wales are the lowest-ranked side at Euro 2025, their first major tournament, and have never beaten a side ranked in the world’s top 10.
Opta suggests Wales have a 71% chance of finishing bottom of their qualifying group, but Wales’ players say they are comfortable with being dismissed.
“You want to come to a major tournament, and you want to play against the best teams,” defender Gemma Evans told BBC Sport Wales.
“We are fine with the group. We’re fine with outside noise, or people who don’t have any faith in us or are underestimating us.
Wales kick off their tournament on Saturday, 5 July against the Netherlands and midfielder Rachel Rowe says the players are ready to show they belong on the biggest stage.
“The pressure comes from within our group and what our expectations are of ourselves,” Rowe explained.
“I think we’re fully focused on doing the nation proud and doing ourselves proud first and foremost.
Striker Elise Hughes says “it is a Wales thing”, to embrace the tag of underdogs.
“When you qualify for a major tournament there’s only 16 teams here, and that’s 16 of the best in Europe,” she said.
“Any group that you go into is going to be tough. Ours is obviously particularly tough.
“But yeah, it’s a Wales thing to do. It’s a Wales thing to be an underdog – we are relishing that opportunity.

After years of speculation and some hints in between, it has finally been confirmed. The Devil Wears Prada will have a second sequel, but a controversial character won’t be returning.
A sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is on its way after almost two decades since its debut. The happy news was shared by 20th Century Studios, who surprised viewers by also saying that production had already begun.
As reported by Entertainment Weekly, the famous cast will consist of Hollywood and returning stars, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Of course, the storyline will be directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna. However, one face that won’t be reprising his role is Adrian Grenier.
Grenier portrayed Nate Cooper in the 2006 film, Andy Sachs’ (Anna Hathaway) boyfriend from university. At the beginning of the film, both were portrayed as a happy couple with professional careers, Andy as a journalist at Runway magazine under Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) and Nate as a sous chef.

Throughout the film, his relationship with Andy became tricky as her career took off, creating a few fights as well as a temporary breakup, following her late arrival at his birthday celebration.

Even though the couple ended up reconciling, viewers labelled Nate’s character as the “true villain” for his lack of support. Towards the end of the film, the couple goes their separate ways, as Andy pursues her career in New York, and Nate takes a job in Boston.
Fans expressed their excitement amid the sequel news. Some were happy that Nate’s character wouldn’t interfere with Andy’s career, but others were hoping he would make a return.
A fan commented: “The real villain of the film. Jarlsberg was more important to him than Andy. ” A second one, added: “Good, and he can take his burnt grilled cheese with him. ”
Another viewer wrote on X: “Nate never was the real villain in devil wears prada and if you think he was, you completely missed the point of the story. ”

“Nate Cooper will be missed in ‘THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2’. Adrian Grenier’s character was special in the film, the fun will be incomplete without him! ”
During the cast’s 2021 reunion, Grenier spoke about his character being considered the villain of the story. He said: “All those memes that came out were shocking to me. It hadn’t occurred to me until I started to really think about it, and perhaps it was because I was as immature as Nate was at the time and in many ways he’s very selfish and self-involved, it was all about him, he wasn’t extending himself to support Andy in her career.”
“At the end of the day, it’s just a birthday, right? It’s not the end of the world,” he added. The actor explained that he didn’t realise how immature his actions were until he came much older and had “time to reflect and much deliberation.”
The 2006 film was adapted from former Vogue assistant Lauren Weisberger’s book of the same name. She worked for Anna Wintour, Vogue’s former Editor-in-Chief, who recently stepped down from her position in the iconic magazine after 37 years.
A release date is yet to be announced. However, according to the reports, the movie is expected to be released in 2026.
