Lidl by Lidl: Supermarket launches Oasis jacket ahead of tour
The limited edition coat – named in homage to the 2002 single Little By Little – was unveiled on a 30ft wall outside Manchester City's Etihad Stadium on Wednesday morning.
The design is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Liam Gallagher's ICONS campaign last year, which saw the iconic frontman wear a Berghaus jacket, which fans joked were similar to Lidl's brand colours.
Featuring drink-cooling pockets, a bottle opener for a zipper, a 'Lidl By Lidl' badge, and even a tambourine 'for spontaneous jam sessions' – the coat will be available to buy for £30 from next Wednesday, July 9.
Those who miss out, will be able to get a branded bucket hat or a pair of Lidl aviators, available on their website for free.
Joanna Gomer, marketing director at Lidl GB says of the campaign: 'In celebration of one of the biggest reunion tours for music & culture, we wanted to give consumers 'everything they ever dreamed of' and create something iconic.'
'With Oasis's 'Definitely Maybe' album and Lidl GB both marking 30 years, this jacket taps into the love the nation has not only for Lidl fashion, but also our brand and the band. getlux via Supplied Lidl's Oasis-themed jacket goes on sale next Wednesday.
'Whether heading to a gig, or for those that want to look 'supersonic' at the supermarket, we have created something fun, functional, and full of character, just like the music that inspired it. The 'Lidl by Lidl' jacket is more than just merch – it's a tribute to our fans, the moments, and the memories that have defined the last three decades.'
Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, announced they were reuniting for a world tour last August, and it officially kicks off in Cardiff this Friday.
Pop-up shops selling official Oasis merchandise are opening across the UK and Ireland to mark the occasion, with the first one already opened in their hometown of Manchester.
An official Oasis pop-up shop is set to open in Edinburgh ahead of the bands' Murrayfield concerts, launching on Monday, August 4, before the band play three sold-out nights in the capital.

Noel Gallagher discloses true reason for Oasis reunion during night two of emotional Cardiff gig
Oasis' Noel Gallagher has revealed who was behind him finally ending his bitter feud with brother Liam Gallagher. The Gallagher brothers have spilled the beans on the true catalyst for Oasis' much-anticipated reunion. At their second gig at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Noel Gallagher opened up about settling his infamous row with sibling Liam Gallagher. Oasis fever has once again gripped the nation, yet not so long ago, the prospect of witnessing Noel and Liam together on stage seemed a distant dream after a heated dispute in 2009. Last year's shock announcement that they would be reuniting arrived a whole 15 years since Noel left the Mancunian ensemble, citing he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer". This followed an altercation backstage at Paris's Rock en Seine festival. But while performing on Saturday, July 5, Noel appeared visibly moved as he reunited under the lights with his brother. On the encore of their second evening, Noel paused to pay homage to Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, announcing: "On guitar, if it wasn't for him, none of this would have happened!" Striding onto the stage with typical confidence, Noel and Liam greeted fans at Cardiff's Principality Stadium last Friday, embarking on the first leg of their highly anticipated global revival tour, reports the Mirror. With no sign of the animosity that marked their split back in 2009, the brothers dived into their playlist starting strong with 'Hello' from their seminal album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? At their much-awaited reunion gig, the lead vocalist extended apologies to fans for the long hiatus. Speaking multiple times during their set, Liam addressed the crowd with: "Hello people, it's been too long," ahead of their nail their third song, (What's the Story). As they prepped to belt out Cigarettes And Alcohol, Liam urged the audience to share a moment of unity, suggesting fans hug someone new. His call to action was: "Right then beautiful people, I want to see you all turn around and put your arms round each other. And when the tune starts, jump up and f****** down." Both bandmates didn't miss the chance to jest about the contentious dynamic pricing debacle that had previously left fans in annoyance as ticket prices seemingly spiked from £148 to £355. This furor prompted government intervention and a commitment from the UK's competition authorities to scrutinise the use of dynamic pricing strategies. Following Roll With It, as Liam made an exit from stage, Noel stepped into the vocalist role. He humorously commented on what he believed the concert's price tag should be, quipping: "It's just gone up." Later on, Liam chimed in with a satirical remark about the cost of attendance, asking the fans: "Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?" Towards the climax of Live Forever, an image of Diogo Jota, the Liverpool footballer who tragically passed away in a car crash last Thursday, was projected, prompting a heartfelt round of cheers and applause from the audience. As they launched into the crowd-pleaser Champagne Supernova for their final performance of the night, the lead singer addressed the audience saying: "Right you beautiful people, this is it. Nice one for putting up with us over the years, we know we've been difficult. Champagne Supernova, nice one." The Gallagher brothers maintained a professional distance on stage throughout the concert, but allowed themselves a fleeting moment of connection with a quick high-five and a half-embrace post their last song. Support acts for Oasis included the fellow quintessential 90s ensemble Cast and Richard Ashcroft, once the face of The Verve. Cast, hialing from Liverpool, gave a nod to Jota, too, dedicating their smash Walkaway in his honour. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The priceless Oasis items that were on display in Cardiff at the weekend
The priceless Oasis items that were on display in Cardiff at the weekend They were on display in a special fan exhibition as Oasis fever swept through Cardiff Noel Gallagher's Union Jack epiphone sheraton electric guitar was on display in Cardiff (Image: Robert Dalling/ WalesOnline ) Oasis fever swept through Cardiff at the weekend as the mega band reunited in their historic first gigs for 16 years. Liam and Noel Gallagher put on two unforgettable performances at the Principality Stadium on Friday and Saturday which have earned huge plaudits from fans and critics alike, with worldwide publications giving the concert five stars. Away from the stadium itself, you couldn't walk through the streets without reminders of the gigs themselves, with wall murals, traders selling bucket hats and tambourines, pubs blasting out the greatest hits, and even an official store at St David's Shopping Centre. And at the Tramshed, there was a special fan exhibition of some of the most iconic items and memorabilia that have defined the history of Oasis. Among them was Noel's famous Union Jack epiphone sheraton electric guitar, which became a symbol of British music in the mid 1990s. It became particularly iconic after Noel played it at Oasis's gigs at Maine Road in 1996. Liam's iconic Emporio Armani jacket worn in the 1995 Wonderwall video was there, as was his sheepskin coat worn at the 1996 Brit awards.

It featured in the videos of Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova and Roll With It. The original, handwritten lyrics were also on display in a glass cabinet from some of Oasis's greatest songs, including Don't Look Back In Anger, Stand By Me, and Champagne Supernova.

Some of Liam's famous tambourines were on display in framed cases, as were band itineraries and programmes from previous tours. Oasis next head home to Heaton Park in Manchester, where they will play five gigs from Friday, July 11. The exhibition will be set up there, and at the other locations of their gigs. The original handwritten lyric for Don't Look Back in Anger (Image: WalesOnline ) The lyrics Noel wrote for Champagne Supernova (Image: WalesOnline ) Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot. Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly. Article continues below Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.
