Noel Gallagher's daughter shows her footballing loyalty at Oasis gig
Oasis have officially arrived in Scotland, delivering their first of three completely sold-out shows in Edinburgh on Friday night as part of their eagerly awaited Live '25 reunion tour. But as the Gallagher brothers took to the stage at Murrayfield Stadium, Noel Gallagher's daughter was spotted in the crowd displaying her loyalty to one Scottish football club – Glasgow's Celtic FC. Anais Gallagher, 25, has been spotted at several of her father's gigs throughout the tour, including the opening shows in Cardiff and the previous week's remarkable five-night run at London's legendary Wembley Stadium. However, Friday night's show in Edinburgh marks the first time Anais has been seen sporting Celtic's iconic colours, as she shared a snap to her Instagram story showing herself wearing a green Adidas tracksuit top bearing the football club's crest. Several Oasis fans shared the photograph across social media afterwards, with numerous people praising her for publicly showing her support for the club. Noel and Liam Gallagher's mother, Peggy Gallagher, is a passionate Celtic supporter, and it seems that passion has been passed down to her grandchildren as well, reports the Daily Record. One fan who shared the image of Anais on X wrote: "Oasis star @NoelGallagher's daughter Anais representing the @CelticFC colours at Murrayfield last night. "Noel and Liam's mum Peggy is famously a massive Celtic fan, with both brothers regularly showing their support for the Hoops throughout the years." Another fan chimed in: "Anais rocking the Celtic trackie at the Oasis gig." And a third ecstatic supporter exclaimed: "ANAIS WEARING CELTIC YESSS." Meanwhile, Anais recently expressed her frustration with Oasis fans inundating her with requests for help in securing tickets for the eagerly anticipated reunion gigs. Every single date of the UK and Ireland tour was snapped up within minutes back in August last year, leading the band to announce two additional Wembley Stadium dates - which also disappeared in record time. However, the scarcity of available tickets hasn't stopped some desperate fans from trying every possible avenue to get one, including badgering Anais for help. She disclosed in a TikTok video: "What is it about some Oasis fans? DM-ing me like I am f***ing Ticketmaster or Shopify or something. "People are messaging me like, 'I'm having trouble transferring my ticket to somebody - this is my Ticketmaster code'. What the f*** do I know about Ticketmaster?" Anais has even been approached by people seeking advice on Oasis merchandise, including queries about t-shirts that are unavailable in certain sizes and where she would recommend buying one instead. She added: "How am I meant to know what shops are stocking your size?". "I don't know, I wish I could help you but I am kind of baffled that when people have an issue they think, 'Do you know what, let me DM Anais, she's going to know how I can transfer my ticket'. Guys ... I can't!".

Everything to know as Electric Picnic launch loyalty scheme
Electric Picnic have announced that they're launching a new loyalty scheme for repeat festivalgoers. With tens of thousands of people set to descend on Stradbally later this month, for some it's their first outing, but others may be returning for their second, third or fourth festival. With that, Electric Picnic have announced that returning customers who are going to EP next year can do so at a discount as part of their loyalty program. ✨Registration for the Electric Picnic 2026 Loyalty Scheme is NOW OPEN! ✨⏱️ Registration will close on Wednesday, August 20th at those reminders, update your group chats and make sure you're all registered by the 20th Aug! ⏰ 🚨 New registration is required for… — Electric Picnic (@EPfestival) August 7, 2025 The Electric Picnic loyalty scheme has seen the festival's organisers team up with Ticketmaster to give people who are returning to Stradbally Hall next year tickets at a discounted price — the festival's way of saying 'thanks for your loyalty.' Electric Picnic have announced that they're launching a new loyalty scheme program for repeat festivalgoers. Pic: You must follow an application process via this link, and must register by Wednesday, August 20, at 12pm for the opportunity to get a link to get discounted tickets for EP 2026. EP will return in 2026, with repeat attendees being able to get a discounted ticket. Pic: Michael Chester Well, it depends on how many times you've been to Electric Picnic. There are two available discounts, and they apply to: People who have purchased tickets to any three or more previous Electric Picnics People who have purchased tickets to one or two previous Electric Picnics It's fairly obvious who is going to get the higher discounts, so if you've been to EP more than three times over the years, you're in luck! To apply for the discounts, registration is required annually — even if you have received loyalty codes in previous years. You must also have purchased a ticket to Electric Picnic previously, as well as be over 18. Ticketmaster must also be able to verify you through your email address, so it's essential that you register using the same email address that you've used to purchase Electric Picnic over the years. If you're successful and get a loyalty code, you'll receive an email before September 1 2025 with your code. The email will contain your link to purchase and your unique loyalty code to access tickets, and the code will be valid until 11.59pm on Monday, September 29 or if EP 2026 sells out — whichever comes first. Should you get a loyalty code, you're still not guaranteed a ticket — with tickets being sold on a first come first served basis. There's also a two ticket limit per loyalty code. Electric Picnic. Pic: Electric Picnic 2026 will take place in the usual spot of Stradbally, Co Laois from August 28-30, 2026.

Kingfishr announces three Irish gigs next summer
The Limerick-based trio, consisting of lead singer Eddie Keogh, guitarist Eoin 'Fitz' Fitzgibbon and Eoghan 'McGoo' McGrath on banjo, is set to play to 50,000 fans over three concerts. The band, known for their grand, atmospheric sound and catchy melodies, have quickly risen as one of Ireland's most promising acts, appearing at Glastonbury, Electric Picnic, and Reading & Leeds festivals. Known for their hit single Killeagh, they've built a loyal following with 1.7m monthly Spotify listeners. The group today announced they will play at the SSE Arena in Belfast on June 9, followed by shows at Virgin Media Park in Cork on June 12 and at Malahide Castle in Dublin on June 13. It comes as Kingfishr will release its long-awaited debut studio album Halcyon on August 22. Fans who pre-order the album through the band's official store by midday on Monday, August 11, will gain first access to a pre-sale for tour tickets, opening at 10am on Tuesday, August 12. Meanwhile, Mastercard cardholders will have special access to Mastercard presale tickets, starting at 10am on Wednesday, August 13, and lasting until 10am on Friday, August 15. Tickets for all three gigs will go on general sale at 10am on Friday, August 15, via Ticketmaster. Prices range from €59.90 to €69.90 for Cork and Dublin shows, subject to Ticketmaster charges. The next opportunity for fans to catch Kingfishr live this year will be Limerick's sold-out Live at the Docklands show on August 22. Following the release of their album, the trio sets off on an intimate album launch acoustic tour, with shows in Limerick, Cork, and Dublin later this month. They will also have a North American run split between headline shows and gigs as a guest to Dylan Gossett. Kingfishr will kick off their Halcyon tour across Europe in November, concluding with two sold-out headline shows at the 3Arena in Dublin on December 18 and 19. The band, which blends Irish music with contemporary folk, pop, and indie, released one live album to date in 2024, Live from Dublin, which hit Ireland's top 5.
