Oasis are in the building, but what time are they taking to the Croke Park stage?
Noel, Liam et al have embarked on their colossal reunion tour earlier this summer, and 350 days since tickets went on sale (but who's counting?) it is finally Ireland's turn to hear Oasis live again, with two sold out shows in Croke Park taking place on Saturday and Sunday (August 16 and 17).
With the anticipation reaching fever pitch, the band have since confirmed the times that everyone has wanted to know, including when openers Cast and Richard Ashcroft take to the stage before the main event. Oasis will be on stage at 8.15pm on Saturday and Sunday night. Pic:For both Saturday and Sunday, the gates will be opening at 5pm to allow the 82,300 people inside.
From there, Cast will take to the stage at 6pm, while Richard Ashcroft will bless the stadium with his Bittersweet Symphony at 7pm.
And then, at 8.15pm, the screens will tell the fans that this, in fact, is not a drill, while F**kin' in the Bushes will blare out over the PA as the Gallaghers, Bonehead, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Tony Waronker take to the stage. View this post on Instagram

The band are set to stay on stage for about two hours, with the Oasis Instagram account saying that the show will end at 10.15pm.
As for what else people will need to know, the concert will be taking place regardless of if you feel the pain in the morning rain, or if you're looking to spend your days in the sunsheeinnnne, with Met Éireann saying that both nights will see the latter, as the rain will be staying at bay.
Saturday morning will be 'dry with sunny spells,' according to Met Éireann, while during the afternoon and evening, some showers are likely to move up over Munster and into Connacht, possibly heavy or thundery. Highest temperatures of 21C to 27C with moderate east to southeast winds. It's almost time for the shows in Croke Park. Pic: AFP STRINGER/AFP via Getty Images
Saturday night will be mild and humid, with a few showers early in the night. It will become mainly dry overnight, as temperatures will fall no lower than 14C to 17C.
Looking to Sunday, things will start out mostly dry and sunny, while showers will only really effect Connacht and Munster. Highest temperatures of 19C to 25C. The showers will die out on Sunday night, becoming mainly dry as temperatures don't fall below 14C to 17C.

Oasis fans in Dublin: ‘It was a lot of money but it's also a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing'
Like many younger Oasis fans in Ireland, Eve Daly-Brennan and Alex O'Neill have their dads to thank for introducing them to the band's music. The pair travelled to Dublin from Cork for Saturday night's sold-out Croke Park show, having managed to nab tickets in the presale. 'I grew up with them,' Daly-Brennan says. 'My dad got me into the good stuff straight away, Rock 'n' Roll Star. This means the world. I've seen Liam Gallagher twice now.' Alex O'Neill (left) and Eve Daly-Brennan pictured on Grafton Street in Dublin before the first Oasis gig in Croke Park 'I've listened to them forever,' O'Neill adds. 'I went to see Liam last year because I never thought I'd get to see Oasis live. When she told me she got the tickets, I was dying. I was so excited.' READ MORE Standing on Grafton Street, O'Neill and Daly-Brennan had committed to the uniform of the day. Droves of concertgoers are easily identifiable in Oasis jerseys, T-shirts, jackets and bucket hats. Those in need of more gear queued for a pop-up Oasis merchandise shop at St Stephen's Green. 'What they can do when they come together is incredible,' O'Neill says. 'My dad would always talk about when he saw them in Cork. I was always so jealous and now I get to be the one up here.' 'My dad is going so it'll be an emotional one for the two of us,' Daly-Brennan adds. 'Live Forever has always been my number one. Some Might Say, Cast No Shadow, Talk Tonight – I'm going to be crying I'd say.' It will be an emotional occasion for many, and a particularly nostalgic one for long-time friends Jason Watson and Jimmy White. The former, sporting a Shelbourne shirt, lives in Dublin but grew up in London, where Watson remains. Jimmy White (left) and Jason Watson (right) 'In the 90s, I was big on the chart music and Britpop and the whole thing,' Watson says. 'It's just a throwback to them days really. Not just Oasis, but it reminds me of the bands that were out like Pulp and Blur. We used to have the battle of the bands in the charts and everything. It's just throwing it back to them days.' [ 'Seeing Oasis live in 1996 changed everything ... I changed my clothes, hair and walk' Opens in new window ] He added: 'Music is different now. Back then, we used to go to record stores and buy records. It meant a lot more. The charts were out every week ... It's being able to step back in time a little bit and feel like that again.' 'When I was at school I had the hair and I was in a band,' says White. 'It was everything growing up. It's sort of the soundtrack to my teenage years, so it'll be a bit of nostalgia today. The first gig I went to was in '97 and they were supported by The Verve, so it'll be repeated today.' Much has been made of the ticket prices for the tour, jokingly addressed by Liam Gallagher on the opening night in Cardiff when he asked fans if it was worth paying £40,000 for a ticket. There is a sentimental attachment to Oasis, however, that relegates any thoughts of overspending. 'It was a lot of money but it's also a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing,' White says. 'You can make back money later on when you're older, but you can't buy these times, can you? It'll be a shared moment.' 'I've got a mate who passed away unfortunately,' Watson says. 'He used to do a bit of singing and that in his local pub, and he liked Champagne Supernova. I think when that comes on it'll be a bit emotional.' For Kevin and Becky O'Brien, who live in Leicestershire, Oasis hold a special place in their personal history. 'We walked down the aisle after we got married to Wonderwall,' she says. 'My son sang it at the wedding.' Kevin and Becky O'Brien, who travelled to Dublin from Leicestershire for the Oasis gig Originally from west Cork, Kevin has been in the UK for the last 30 years or so. Wonderwall will be an obvious highlight of the show, but he is also hoping to hear Half the World Away, the theme song from sitcom The Royle Family. 'I remember Oasis back in the '90s when they first became big,' he says. 'I was there when they played support for R.E.M. in Slane back in '95 or '96. Even before they were the main headliner.' Matt Miller travelled farther than most to get to Croke Park. Hailing from San Francisco, it took an 11-hour flight for him to reach Dublin. [ Mother from Mayo, father from Meath: How Irish are Oasis? Opens in new window ] 'I figured the best crowd would be the Irish crowd,' he says. 'It's kind of a homecoming for the Gallaghers. Matt Miller flew 11 hours from San Francisco to Dublin to see Oasis 'I've been a fan since I was a kid. I never got to see them when they were together. Being in the US, we didn't get as many opportunities, I guess. I've seen Liam and I've seen Noel separately, but I've never seen them together. I was up until three or four in the morning waiting for tickets. I had to find a way to make it.' Oasis do have US dates lined up over the coming weeks, but Miller says the relationship with their music is different here. 'People know Wonderwall,' he says. 'They might know Champagne Supernova and Don't Look Back in Anger. Maybe those three, but that's it, so it was cool being at the pubs last night where everybody was singing all the songs.'

Peter Crouch abandons TNT post in last-ditch dash to get to Oasis in Dublin
Peter Crouch abandoned his post on TNT in a last ditch dash to Dublin to see Oasis at Croke Park. The Mancunian bands are playing the first of their two sold-out gigs at GAA HQ this evening, with over 80,000 fans expected to descend upon Croker on each night for the biggest gigs of the summer. Crouchy was one of the lucky few to secure a ticket for this evening's gig, with tickets in general for the tour being extremely difficult to come by. The former Liverpool striker was working on TNT Sports this morning for their opening Premier League game of the season, a 0-0 draw between Aston Villa and an Alexander Isak-less Newcastle. With coverage winding down, Crouch could be seen edging away from the TNT table at Villa Park, but not before presenter Lynsey Hipgrave was able to play a little joke at the rushing Crouch's expense. Liam Gallagher (L) and Noel Gallagher (R) of Oasis (Image:) Hipgrave announced: 'That's about all we've got time for, oh actually sorry my producer is just telling me we have got a lot more time, he said we can carry on talking'. Peter interjected: 'Lynsey, you know I'm going to Oasis tonight, it's not happening'. 'Where you going?' Lynsey quizzed. 'I'm going to Oasis, I've got a flight to catch!' Peter said. Pressing him again Lynsey said: 'Where you going to Oasis?' Joe Cole chimed in saying: 'Let the man leave, he's done his job, he's done enough for us!' Lynsey said as Peter ran off screen: 'Off you go, thank you very much, go and get that flight!'. Joking, Lynsey then added: 'Pete, don't look back in anger, it's good to be back, we'll see you soon'. All things going well, Crouchy's flight will have landed in plenty of time to see the gig. However, some might say, if there's even the slightest delay, he may see his hopes of seeing the Gallagher brothers fade away.

Paul and his team are hopeful the mammoth crossover clash will come to fruition and are confident of pulling off an incredible upset against AJ.
