Last minute hotels for Oasis in Cardiff going for £900 a night ahead of reunion gigs at Principality Stadium
According to new research Cardiff is the most expensive city to stay in during the hotly anticipated Oasis tour, with hotel prices surging by 420% compared to a normal night.
When the famous Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, announced their Oasis reunion and the Oasis Live '25 tour, there was a mad dash to book accommodation, sparking a huge spike in hotel prices on the dates of the Oasis gigs. For all the info we have on the gig so far, click here.
Interest is so intense that Google searches for 'Cardiff hotel rooms' have soared by over 13,000%, and there's been a huge spike in searches for Airbnbs near the stadium.
Cardiff isn't the only city experiencing this surge; accommodation enquiries and bookings have skyrocketed at every Oasis Live '25' tour location.
Hotel prices have also climbed dramatically across all five host cities, Cardiff, Manchester, London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, with booking activity closely tracking ticket sales.
While Manchester may be grabbing headlines for the biggest price hike, up 454% to £421, Cardiff's £588 average makes it the priciest overall. Even London, often the UK's most expensive city, comes in second at £527 a night, as per the data collected by Grosvenor Casinos.
If you haven't yet booked your accommodation, here are places in the city and beyond that were still available at the time of publishing. Some are pricey, but we've also included some 'cheaper' ones for the Oasis dates.

The Gêm Project helps young people access gaming industry
The Gêm Project, led by Media Academy Cymru (MAC), aims to improve grassroots access to professional roles in the gaming and animation sectors. Of the 30 students who completed the pilot, 80 per cent went on to further education courses in South Wales, four are now studying gaming-related subjects at university, and one is working as a game tester for a leading Welsh developer. Jack Sargeant, culture minister, said: "The importance of the creative industries to Wales is clear – it's about jobs, culture and our identity. "Meeting the animation students at MAC was inspiring – these young people are incredibly talented and passionate about their craft. "Programmes like the Animeiddio Project are exactly what we need to ensure our creative sector reflects all of Wales, providing pathways for diverse talent to thrive." The Gêm Project received more than £140,000 from the Welsh Government through the Creative Wales Skills Fund. Following its success, MAC launched the Animeiddio Project, an animation pilot scheme funded by a second round of Creative Skills funding. The animation course gives young people the chance to showcase their work at the Cardiff Animation Festival and take part in regular industry events. AJ, 20, a current student, said: "I had agoraphobia for a long time so I couldn't leave the house. "This is my first year back and everybody is so understanding. "It's the best thing that could possibly have happened." The Creative Skills Fund supports training and development across music, screen, games, animation, and immersive tech. Across two funding rounds, 34 projects have been backed with a total investment of £3 million. A highlight report from the first funding round shows that more than 27,000 individuals and 300 companies have benefited so far.

Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward joins hometown club Wrexham
The 32-year-old, who was born in the Welsh city and came through the club's academy between 2007 and 2012, has joined on a free transfer after agreeing a two-year deal. Ward was a free agent following the expiry of his contract at Leicester and joins the club owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney following their promotion to the Championship. Wrexham in his veins and ice in his cold brew. Welcome back to the STōK Cae Ras, Danny Ward 🧤 🔴⚪ #WxmAFC — Wrexham AFC (@Wrexham_AFC) July 1, 2025 He said: 'It's an exciting time and an amazing feeling to be back at the club. 'I'm forever grateful for the opportunity that the club gave me at an early age and I hope I can repay that.' The Wales international, who has won 44 caps, joined Wrexham a a 14-year-old but never featured for the first team before being sold to Liverpool in 2012.

Fiver for your thoughts? Bank of England wants Britons help designing new notes
The next fiver you find in your back pocket could soon have Leicester City's Harry Maguire riding an inflatable unicorn or Lisa from Steps on it. Well, probably not. But the Bank of England is asking the public – the same people behind 'Boaty McBoatface' – to help redesign banknotes. Paper bills have featured historical figures since 1970, when William Shakespeare became the first person other than the monarch to feature. The £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes feature wartime leader Winston Churchill, author Jane Austen, painter JMW Turner and mathematician Alan Turing respectively. Bank officials want Britons to come up with ideas for new themes. They've identified six themes they're asking Britons to consider, according to the consultation paper seen by Metro. They are notable historical figures; architecture and landmarks; arts, culture and sport; noteworthy events in history; innovation; and nature. People can also suggest other themes, with the process of designing the new banknotes usually taking several years. Britons have until 11.59pm on July 31 to vote for the Bank of England's themes or submit their ideas on an online form or by post. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Bank officials consider the themes and may ask Britons to submit specific images that represent the theme. This isn't the first time the Bank has asked Britons for help – officials invited the public to recommend a new face for the £50 note in 2018. One person, civil servant Jonny Sharples, started a petition to get Maguire riding a blow-up unicorn onto the bill. While Chris Fox, in a viral social media post, asked the Bank to pick Welsh singer Lisa Scott-Lee. Other, slightly more serious names included Crimean War nurse Mary Seacole and World War Two children's author Noor Inayat Khan, with campaigners seeing it as an opportunity to celebrate people of colour. When choosing a new face for a note, a Banknote Character Advisory Committee will pick a field where it wants the nominees to come from. Nominees must no longer be living, widely admired and have made significant contributions to British society and culture. While Maguire and Lisa from Steps fit the bill for the latter two, as neither is dead, the Bank could not immortalise them. With the new consultation, the Bank says that the new notes don't have to portray a person. With the architecture and landmarks theme, for example, castles or heritage sites could be featured. Our landmark suggestions would be the hole in a wall of a Natwest bank, a rusty pole or a rusty pipe, all with five-star reviews on Tripadvisor. While the arts, culture and sport theme could be portrayed by images of literature, food, television shows or sport moments. Innovation could be celebrated on bills with images of important technologies or ideas developed by British experts. Nature could be depicted by images of native plants and animals or landscapes like mountains or beaches. More Trending The consultation paper says that the Bank may not choose the theme with the most votes and a final design will be revealed in 'due course'. Bank officials are redesigning the bills to help make them harder to fake and more durable. Victoria Cleland, the Bank of England's chief cashier, said: 'Banknotes are more than just an important means of payment – they serve as a symbolic representation of our collective national identity and an opportunity to celebrate the UK. 'I am really keen to hear what themes the public would like to see represented on the next series of notes.'
