Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 27th August 2024

Oasis have officially announced a HUGE reunion tour, with 14 shows across the UK and Ireland.

Liam and Noel Gallagher have finally put aside their differences and will be performing back on home turf in Manchester in July 2025.

It’s the news music fans have waited 15 long years for, ever since the brothers’ feud began.

Oasis have teased the reunion for the last couple of days with hints dropped on screens at Blossoms’ show and at Reading Festival, as well as on their socials.

And now it’s official – Oasis will be heading back to the fields of Heaton Park (as well as stadiums across the UK and Ireland) in 2025.

In an official statement, they said: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over.

“Come see. It will not be televised.”

The brothers have also been photographed together for the first time since the band’s split in 2009.

The black-and-white photo of them standing together has had many questioning if it’s a Photoshop job and they actually haven’t been in the same room yet.

But based on the below Tweet – this is for real.

The news of the Oasis reunion was shared with a nostalgic video of the band’s heyday, with them saying: “Me and him are like telepathic, know what I mean?

“I know my brother better than anybody else.

“When we both come together, you have greatness.”

The video, filled with clips of their performances over the years, then continues: “We make people feel something that’s indefinable.

“I’d do it all again, in a f**king heartbeat.

“This is it, this is happening.

“People will never ever forget the way that you made them feel.”

How much are Oasis tickets?

None of the ticket platforms who’ll be selling Oasis tickets have yet added prices, so it’s anyone’s guess what they’ll charge.

We’re willing to bet they’ll be at least £100 a piece, but will update this article as soon as we hear more.

Iconic Salford music venue and nightclub The White Hotel is closing

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Iconic Salford music venue and nightclub The White Hotel is closing

The White Hotel, one of Greater Manchester’s most cutting-edge and best-loved nightlife venues, is closing its doors for good.

The cult favourite nightclub will shut in January, The Guardian has reported today.

The White Hotel is a go-to haunt for Mancs seeking a late-night (or indeed, all-night) dance, with a packed programme of music running year-round.

The independent arts venue opened inside a former garage in Salford, just outside Manchester city centre and in the shadow of HMP Manchester.

Not only has The White Hotel defined Greater Manchester’s modern nightlife scene, but it’s become known globally as one of the best underground nightclubs on the planet.

Known for its raw DIY atmosphere and boundary-pushing line-ups, the Salford venue up there among the UK’s most respected club spaces.

But despite ‘continuing to draw full houses’, The White Hotel will close in January, according to The Guardian.

Ben Ward told the paper that the venue has found itself in a flood-risk zone, saying: “Basically, it’s a swamp.”

He added that it was better ‘to go out on our own terms, long before we became a museum’.

When The White Hotel opened in 2015, they planned to stick around for a year, then move to LA – but now a decade on, it’s cemented itself on Manchester’s club scene.

The area where The White Hotel stands will become a wetland park.

Neither artistic director Austin Collings nor Ward are ‘sentimental about losing the premises’, The Guardian wrote, quoting Ward as saying: “It’s come as a surprise that it’s lasted this long anyway.”

Festival-goers urged to stop taking wheelie bins full of booze

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Festival-goers urged to stop taking wheelie bins full of booze

Festival-goers have been warned not to take wheelie bins full of alcohol to festivals with them this summer.

The warning has come ahead of this year’s Download Festival, which takes place next month and kicks off the summer’s biggest run of festival dates.

But a major train operator has said there have been incidents in the past of passengers trying to travel to festivals with wheelie bins and luggage trolleys.

Passengers have had to be reminded that wheelie bins are not permitted on board, and they should instead only carry as much luggage as they can comfortably carry.

The warning comes from East Midlands Railway, one of the key services that will whisk people to Download Festival between 10 and 14 June.

Customers returning from the festival are also encouraged to use boot-cleaning brushes provided at stations to help remove mud before boarding trains.

Philippa Cresswell, customer experience director at East Midlands Railway, said: “We’re encouraging customers to travel light.

“Last year, some festive goers tried to board services with wheelie bins or festival trolleys full of beer. While it might seem like a great idea for getting your supplies to the festival, it just isn’t safe or possible to bring them onboard train services.”

EMR has also warned customers to plan journeys in advance, with engineering work taking place at various locations on the Midland Main Line, near where Download Festival takes place.

She continued: “We’re advising customers travelling to Download Festival to plan their journeys in advance and be aware that essential engineering work will affect services across the weekend.

“As a result, some services will be reduced or amended, and passengers should check before they travel and allow extra time.”
