Noel Gallagher's Oasis Live '25 programme tour notes revealed with message to fans
Noel Gallagher has credited Oasis' success with making fans "feel" something. The Don't Look Back In Anger hitmaker and his brother Liam Gallagher have called a truce on their sibling rivalry and will hit the road this summer on the Oasis Live '25 reunion tour, which starts tomorrow (04.07.25) at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. In the programme for the tour, Noel, 58, reflects on what makes Oasis special, and writes: "People will never forget the way you made them feel." The guitarist and songwriter insists part of the legendary Britpop band's appeal is being "chaotic and flawed". He adds: "A new generation recognises how Oasis wasn't manufactured. It was chaotic and flawed, and not technically brilliant. "We were rough and ready guys from a rehearsal room." Although the Wonderwall group were always committed and talented, in the programme Noel plays down his own talents. He says: "I didn't invent anything. I had a good taste in music, a cool record collection, I could write a melody simple enough to make it work, and it was 50 percent inspiration and 50 percent copying." Last month, Oasis opened a number of pop-up stores across the UK and Ireland to mark their reunion tour. The first store opened in the Gallagher brother's home city of Manchester on June 20, and will remain open until July 27 with other sites in Cardiff, London, Edinburgh, Dublin and Birmingham. The merchandise collection for the Oasis Live '25 Tour is available in stores and online. Noel and Liam have ended their lengthy feud to get the Britpop icons back together and the former's close friend – U2 frontman Bono – recently claimed that the musician has been left "shocked by how great" Oasis are sounding in rehearsals. The Irish rocker told Apple Music 1 with Zane Lowe: "They're both funny. I'm still very close with Noel, and he sent a message to me saying he's kind of shocked by how great the band is [sounding at rehearsals]. I think we're going to have a good summer." Bono added of Oasis: "I love them. I just love them. "And what I really love is, the preciousness that had gotten [into] indie music, they just blew it out. "There was just the swagger, and the sound of getting out of the ghetto, not glamorising it."

Forget the title, this is a kids' show you need to watch
Look at that air time - 6am? Parents better make sure their little kids aren't savvy enough to read a TV guide and discover this is on. Because 6am is far too early to be woken up by a four-year-old for just about anything, let alone watching a TV show. I'd recommend parents keep quiet about Do Not Watch This Show until it's available on ABC's view, where it can be watched at a more reasonable hour. If you're unfortunate enough to have a retro kid who likes to watch shows when they air on TV rather than stream them, well it's not all bad. For Do Not Watch This Show is good. Really, really good. It's a spin-off of Andy Lee's Do Not Open This Book. While they're obviously for little tackers, I enjoyed the TV show so much that part of me thought that maybe I should read the books. Not that I actually will do that - it would be a tad embarrassing. But that's how enjoyable this show is. The simple synopsis is that it features a character named Wizz (voiced by Lee) who is stuck in a TV show that he doesn't want you to watch. He then goes to quite some effort to get you to turn off. But you won't be able to, because it's really, really good. It's always a source of amazement that this Gordon Ramsay show manages to find restaurant owners willing to appear on it. Yes, they do generally get a free upgrade of the dining area and a bit of business advice, but it does come at a cost of being shown on TV as a complete doofus who has no idea what they're doing. And who probably has a dirty kitchen full of rotting food. Surely it's enough to scare away any potential customers, even after that upgrade. Yet the US version is up to season nine, on the back of five seasons of the UK version. In this episode the focal point is the extremely odd co-owner Bonnie. She has big staring eyes, weird mouth pouts and odd facial movements. All of which made me wonder if she on something - if you know what I mean. This show set in Alice Springs is one of the most enjoyable things you'll watch this week. The one-hour screening is made up of six shorter pieces that follow the exploits of Robbie and his friends Georgie Blue and Big Johnny in the lead-up to Christmas. It's a bit rude, a bit sweary and plays on the stereotypes of people who live in a place like Alice Springs. But it's also very funny. It's produced by the pair responsible for the popular series Bluey, which should give you some idea of the quality we're talking about here. Look at that air time - 6am?

Aussies ditch holidays to Bali for sad reason
A TikTok video has highlighted the sad reality of what a holiday to Bali now looks like, and its not pretty. Bali has long been a popular international destination for Aussies, offering pristine beaches and bustling night life, but the amount of tourists on the island may be the very thing that's destroying it. Aussies are becoming fed up with the overcrowding and two-hour traffic jams in the tourist hotspots on the island. In the video, hundreds of bikes and cars can be seen crowding a road in Canggu at 5.30pm in standstill traffic in what one viewer described as a 'hell hole.' 'I'm in Bali now, it's my fourth and last time here. I used to love it, this time I can't wait to get out,' one person commented. 'This has me rethinking staying in Canggu in a few weeks,' wrote another. 'Was going to Bali but made a good decision and save $$ to go to Thailand instead,' said a third. In the video, hundreds of bikes and cars can be seen crowding a road in Canggu at 5.30pm. Credit: TikTok / vastlyinteresting Local leaders in Canggu came together earlier this year to discuss how the community could deal with the monumental amount of traffic in the region. The meeting was attended by the Badung Regency Government, Canggu Traditional Village Leaders, local police and the Head of the Traffic Unit of Badung Police. 'Solutions discussed included conducting traffic engineering at several key points around the resort area, implementing a one-way system, and increasing road capacity,' according to the Bali Sun. 'Currently, what we can do is deploy a traffic jam relief team that goes around to the congestion points. We hope for support from the community so that all efforts made, run well.' The amount of tourists jetting off to Bali isn't just affecting the roads, the island has a serious waste-management problem too, with the beaches often being swamped by huge piles of plastic waste that wash ashore. 'A massive 66,000kg of trash was collected by volunteers between over the Christmas holiday period in 2024,' said charity organisation Sungai Watch. With many Aussies becoming fed up with the congestion and waste issues facing Bali, perhaps the golden era of Bintags and perfect beaches has come to an end.
