Following months of eager anticipation, Oasis are finally set to launch their reunion tour in Cardiff tonight. Doors for the opening date of the UK and Ireland tour at the Principality Stadium open in under an hour and one Gallagher has been exploring south Wales ahead of the performance.
Noel’s daughter, Anaïs, is a model and photographer who regularly posts her pictures on social media. Following a visit to Swansea Bay, she uploaded several photographs, including one featuring the famous red Swansea Bay train that travels through the Mumbles.
She posted on Instagram: “Melting ice creams, rock pools, clouds approaching and a trip along the sea front on a little train. What could feel more British summertime?”
Her followers were thrilled to discover she was in Wales before Oasis’ Live 25 tour launches this evening. One person commented: “And she’s set up location for Fridays show! Take pictures, the world is waiting”.
Yet there was some debate regarding the 25-year-old choice of ice cream. Whilst locals have debated for years whether Verdi’s or Joe’s serves the finest desserts in Mumbles, Anaïs bypassed both establishments, reports Wales Online.
She opted instead for the well-known Ripples ice cream parlour along the Swansea coastal path. One fan remarked: “While in The Mumbles, you must have a Joe’s ice cream Best in the World.” Another chimed in: “Hope you tried a Joe’s ice cream in mumbles, its the best.”
Anaïs has confirmed her attendance at tonight’s Cardiff show, responding to an eager fan’s comment on TikTok. They excitedly posted: “Soo excited for tomorrow! Will the queen herself be there?”. To which Anaïs responded with a touch of sass: “Don’t ask silly questions.”
Oasis reunion tickets flew off the virtual shelves, selling out 17 UK and Ireland dates due to overwhelming demand when they were released last year. But fans still have a few avenues to explore if they’re hoping to catch the band last minute.
A handful of tickets appear sporadically on the official Ticketmaster resale site, where ticket holders who can no longer attend put their tickets up for sale – though availability fluctuates rapidly.
Additionally, secondary marketplaces like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub, and Twickets are offering tickets for various dates starting at £121, but it’s worth noting that many official platforms, including Ticketmaster and Live Nation, advise against buying from resale sites.
