As Noel and Liam Gallagher prepare to play their first reunion shows in Wales, one Oasis fan took to social media to vent their frustration over a lift issue at Cardiff Central.

One Oasis fan has been left fuming after a broken lift situation in Cardiff has caused chaos for disabled travellers. The band are back together for the first time in years, as Noel and Liam Gallagher put aside their differences after a 16 year-long feud.

Fans are clamoring to get there early to get the best seats and enjoy the atmosphere as the band perform their first live show in years in Cardiff tomorrow evening.

However, some fans who use wheelchairs haven’t followed the right course of action. What do you think of the #liamgallagher and #NoelGallagher on social media as a result of @tfwrail having a lift out of order making wheelchair users unable to get off/on the train in the capital city of Wales – absolute shambles?

The passenger assistance representative at Cwmbran and Cardiff Central informed them that they had “spoke to the passenger assistance who stated that the lifts at both Cwmbran and Cardiff Central are out of order and that we couldn’t use an electric wheelchair as we couldn’t get to/off the platforms.”

The East End lift is “still accessible for passengers for platform 1 & 2, and” Transport for Wales then announced that Cardiff Platform 1 (to Cardiff) was accessible via a ramped path from Edlogan Way.”

The fan then responded to explain that he was aware of the Cwmbran issues but that he had been informed that Cardiff’s lifts were unavailable by “passengers assistance.”

A number of road closures have resulted from Oasis’ Cardiff gigs, which have also caused chaos for wider transportation throughout the city. Significant road closures will be implemented throughout the city center of Cardiff as the city prepares for the arrival of music fans.

City center roads will be closed from noon until midnight for the Oasis concerts, and they are anticipated to reopen shortly thereafter. By using the park and ride at the Vindico Arena on International Drive in the Sports Village, the M4 motorway is anticipated to be very busy for these concerts, a Cardiff Council spokesperson said. “Please plan ahead.

Go to the Traffic Wales website or follow @TrafficWalesS on Facebook and Twitter for most up-to-date traffic information on the motorways and trunk roads. “Concertgoers are being asked to arrive in Cardiff early,” the statement read.

Due to preparations at gate five and to protect queuing fans, Scott Road and Park Street will be closed from 7am. Beginning at 12 noon and continuing until midnight, the city center roads will be completely closed on July 4 and 5.

Throughout the day, only event parking, limited commuter parking, loading, and access to private car parks are permitted entry to certain areas of the civic center.

King Edward VII Avenue, Museum Avenue, City Hall Road, College Road, and Gorsedd Gardens Road are among the affected roads.

As the seating arrangement has been made public, Oasis are set to begin their reunion tour in the Welsh capital with two massive shows this weekend at the Cardiff Principality Stadium.

After what seems like an eternity of anticipation, we’re now just one day away from Oasis launching their highly-anticipated reunion gigs. The 2025 concerts will see Liam and Noel Gallagher sharing the stage for the first time in 16 years, putting an end to endless speculation about whether they’d ever bury the hatchet.

The clamour for tickets was immense, with them selling out in mere minutes as fans rushed to secure a spot to witness the Gallagher brothers’ comeback – including their five-night stint at Heaton Park from 11th to 20th July.

However, it’s Cardiff that gets the honour of hosting the inaugural shows, with two performances scheduled in the Welsh capital on July 4 and 5. With no clue as to what to expect, it’s bound to be a night charged with emotion for many fans.

The legendary 90s duo’s debut album, Definitely Maybe, became a classic after being released in 1994, selling over 75 million records worldwide. The Manchester brothers’ last album, Oasis, was released in 2008, but they’ve since pursued side and solo projects.

This summer, ex-frontman of The Verve, Richard Ashcroft, former frontman of The Verve, and indie band Cast will warm up the crowd at the Oasis gigs in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Dublin, and Edinburgh.

Given the high demand for tickets, it’s not just locals who’ll be soaking up the atmosphere at the gig – many fans have decided to make the journey to Cardiff Principality Stadium specifically for the show.

To help you find your exact location and choose the entrance you’ll need, we’ve created a seating chart and map for the Cardiff gigs.

Cardiff Principality Stadium can accommodate 74,500 spectators for concerts and events, which will bring in almost 150, 000 fans for each performance.

The Cardiff Principality Stadium seating arrangement is shown below. This is only for illustrative purposes and may change.

Oasis will make their long-awaited comeback on Friday at 8:15 p.m., playing for just over two hours before the set for a 22.30 p.m. curfew is lifted.

A source told us that the boys will perform some songs inside the venue with a new lineup and this being such a big first performance. Some tours would begin with a smaller show, while others would take a week or two to regain their rhythm.

However, Liam and Noel want every night to be huge, and there is no time for that. They are taking this enormous comeback show very seriously. It all points to a fantastic comeback tour.

Oasis have already arrived in Cardiff to put together the finishing touches and fans close by say they have heard the setlist in full. Earlier in the week, those close to the stadium heard Cigarettes and Alcohol blasting out of the stadium.

Additionally, they were entertained by the musical numbers F****n’In The Bushes and Some Might Say. Oasis are scheduled to play a lengthy 24 song setlist, according to one Reddit user.

After opening the eagerly awaited reunion tour in Cardiff tomorrow night, Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher will take the Oasis Live ’25 Tour to Heaton Park in Manchester the following week.

The Government has brought in special new drone laws to protect Noel and Liam Gallagher when they play at Heaton Park in Manchester next week. The Secretary of State, Yvette Cooper, has taken the unusual step of putting a no-fly zone in place over the concert venue – banning drones from flying within one-and-a-half miles of the brothers for the first time ever.

It means Oasis will be protected from possible security threats or unwanted press or public intrusion when they play their five sell-out reunion gigs at the venue to crowds of 80,000 each night. The order, which was drawn up in May, begins next Friday (July 11) when the concerts kick off.

It says: “The Secretary of State has decided that it is in the public interest to restrict the flying of unmanned aircraft in the area specified in regulation 3(1) by reason of the intending gathering of a large number of persons in the vicinity for music concerts.” The order then states: “In view of the expected large gathering of persons attending the music concerts and at the request of the Greater Manchester Police, the Civil Aviation Authority and the Department for Transport agree that the flying of unmanned aircraft should be restricted in the vicinity of the event for reasons of public safety and security.”

In the restricted airspace, no aircraft is permitted to fly below 1,400 feet above sea level. Unnamed local resident said: “I can’t believe the Government has intervened to protect the Gallagher brothers.

The Oasis Live ’25 Tour will begin tomorrow in Cardiff and the band will play 20 dates around the world. On Wednesday night drones hovered above the stadium to spell out Oasis and the original band logo in white lights. The band could be planning something similar in Manchester and if so they would not want other drones in the way. Drones could also record the gigs or take unwanted photos.

It was announced last week that Oasis, which also includes new drummer Joey Waronker and guitarists Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, had lined up rehearsals at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff ahead of their first comeback gig. A source told us that Noel and Liam “want every night to be massive”.

A source told the Mirror: “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 continued, “But that’s not possible, and Liam and Noel want every night to be huge.” They are taking this enormous comeback show very seriously. It all points to a fantastic comeback tour.

More recently, additional musicians on the tour were unveiled by the Mirror ahead of the opening night gig later this week. They included singer-songwriter Jess Greenfield, who is also a part of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

According to earlier reports, the tour schedule includes Alastair White on trombone, Christian Madden on keyboards, and Jess on backing vocals. Additionally, Joe Auckland will play the trumpet and Steve Hamilton is said to be playing the sax.

Orlando Bloom, the director of the Lord of the Rings, has a number of quotes to share. Despite recent reports that he has split from Katy Perry, Carl Jung has been attributed to psychologist.

Orlando Bloom has shared a series of cryptic quotes referring to “darkness” and “loneliness” following his reported split from his fiancée Katy Perry.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 48, and Katy, 40, have reportedly parted ways after nine years together. The couple, who are parents to four-year-old daughter Daisy, have faced speculation over their relationship in recent weeks, with there once even the suggestion of potential “make or break talks” in the future.

Following yet more reports that they had separated, Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando has shared a series of quotes, which aren’t attributed to him, on Instagram. They featured in a post that he shared on his account yesterday.

He shared a post on the account @sapienkind about Carl Jung, who is regarded as the father of analytical psychology. More than a dozen quotes from the psychologist were included in the post.

One quote from Orlando’s repost addressed loneliness. It said, “Loneliness does not come from having no people around one, but rather from being unable to communicate what seems important to one.”

while another post featured love and power in its focus. There is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking, according to the quote. The one is “the other’s shadow.”

According to one quote, “Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its significance if it were not balanced by sadness.” While another remarked, “Be just another human soul as you touch a human soul, but you know all the theories and techniques.”

Orlando later shared his Instagram Story post. He continued to highlight a few of the quotes in particular, including one that made reference to touching the human soul and one that made a specific mention of loneliness.

He also cited a different phrase there. We are what we choose to become, he said in his third quote from his Instagram post from yesterday.

It comes after Orlando previously shared some quotes from other sources just days ago. As reported at the time, he posted a quote attributed to Buddha that read: “Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most.”

Amid ongoing speculation over his relationship with singer-songwriter Katy, it’s been reported that they are “amicable”. A source told US Weekly for an article that was published last week: “It’s not contentious at the moment.”

The source claimed that their apparent separation has been “a long time coming,” adding that communication has been “tense for months.” They claimed Katy is “of course upset,” but that she is “relived” that she won’t have to go through another divorce.
