EXCLUSIVE: Louis Tomlinson failed to secure tickets for Oasis when they first went on sale last year, but he’s now found himself landing a top seat at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium
Louis Tomlinson has found himself having a lucky day ahead of the first Oasis show of their tour. Last year, Louis revealed that like thousands across the globe, he’d been unsuccessful in securing tickets for the tour. In August of 2024, the Manchester band left fans completely gobsmacked when they announced that Liam and Noel Gallagher’s long-running feud had finally come to an end.
Almost 15 years to the day after their split, the two biblical musicians put their differences aside and confirmed that Oasis was back with a bang. It came just weeks after Liam had been touring the country to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Definitely Maybe.
Noel quit the Manchester rock group on August 28 2009, saying he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer”. Last year, the pair posed for several photos together, confirming the band’s long-awaited reunion, saying: “The great wait is over.” But one fan who didn’t get tickets was former One Direction star Louis – but things have since changed.

The Mirror can reveal that the cheeky Doncaster chap, 33, has found himself on the guest list for tonight’s tour opener at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. A source close to the musician told us: ” Louis is a huge Oasis fan and has been extremely open about failing to secure tickets in the queue. He’s said to have found himself on tonight’s guestlist, which promises to be one of the most exciting concerts in music history.”
Just days after tickets went on sale and sold out on August 31, Headlines singer Louis revealed that despite his huge celebrity status, he was unable to secure tickets. Speaking on Sky Sports at the Italian Grand Prix on September 1, he said: “I didn’t, I was in the queue but I never got a number. I did try. I did try.”

But he did say he hoped his fame would help him. “I have my fingers crossed,” when the Sky reporter suggested he may get sent a few. But Louis isn’t the only excited fan attending the concert tonight. 74,500 fans are expected to pack into the waterfront stadium to see Oasis perform for the first time in 16 years.
Two fans spent more than a day travelling to get to Cardiff in time for the band’s first gig since 2009. Lachlan Weekes and Jayden Helm travelled from Sydney, Australia, to attend the concert in the Welsh capital.
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.
“It was a long two flights to get here, it’s just over a day of travel – a long time – we’re still a bit jet lagged, I think. 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.”
They also visited Manchester, stopping off at Heaton Park as part of their personal Oasis tour. Mr Weekes hopes the band will play Slide Away, while Mr Helm said he would “go crazy” for Cigarettes & Alcohol. Thousands of fans have flooded the streets of Cardiff, visiting dozens of pubs while making their way to the stadium.
It comes as no surprise that many are wearing signature bucket hats and Adidas tops for the first show.
