Oasis mural made of bucket hats unveiled in Cardiff
A portrait of Liam and Noel Gallagher made from 3,000 black and white bucket hats has been unveiled in Cardiff as the city prepares to host the first Oasis gig in nearly 16 years. Artist Nathan Wyburn, 35, said he was "proud" the brothers chose Wales to kick off their long-awaited reunion. The 16ft (4.9m) mural was unveiled on Saturday during a "pre-gig party" at the St David's shopping centre. "They offered to send me 3,000 bucket hats, an offer I could not refuse, and I have now turned them into Liam and Noel Gallagher," Wyburn said. The artist is known for using unconventional materials or everyday objects to create his said when people think of Oasis "they probably think of the sunglasses and the bucket hats, so it just seemed incredibly obvious to me that it had to be made with bucket hats". It took Wyburn five days to create the portrait in his studio, which is a converted church. He first drew the brothers on a eight fireproof boards, then began the gruelling process of stapling bucket hats into just the right places. "My hand is in a lot of pain right now because I don't know how many times I shot that staple gun," he said. Most of the hats are intact, but a few were cut up to create finer details. From his studio, the mural was shipped to St David's in eight sections the evening before the unveiling."[It's] split right down the middle in case we need to separate Liam and Noel," he laughed. But is Wyburn a fan of the band? "I like their ballads, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger, but I wouldn't say I particularly followed their career," said Wyburn, who is originally from Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent. As an artist he said he said it was his job to "document things as they happen"."The fact that one of the biggest duos in history are getting back together, I feel like it's my duty as an artist to create something for that."His creation, dubbed the Wonder Wall, will remain in place until after Oasis play the Principality Stadium on 4 and 5 July.

Neil Young U-turns on decision to ban BBC from showing Glastonbury set
Neil Young's headline set at Glastonbury will now be shown live on the BBC on Saturday night, the BBC has announced. The corporation had previously said that the Canadian rock veteran's set would not be broadcast live 'at the artist's request'. But a spokesman confirmed on Saturday: 'We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC.' Young, who is best known for songs such as Heart of Gold, Like A Hurricane, and Cinnamon Girl, will headline the festival's Pyramid Stage on Saturday night with his band the Chrome Hearts. His set will be shown on the BBC iPlayer Pyramid Stage stream from 10pm, as well as broadcast on BBC Two and BBC Radio 2. The 79-year-old previously said he had initially turned down the offer to perform at the festival, saying it was ' under corporate control ' of the BBC in a message on his website. But Young later backtracked and was announced as one of the headliners saying he had 'always loved' the event and he was looking forward to performing. Irish rap trio Kneecap will also perform on Saturday after a number of politicians called for them to be banned from the event. The BBC has refused to deplatform the group amid mounting political pressure to not air their performance. The broadcaster insisted that it did not 'ban artists' but would make sure that the broadcast 'meets our editorial guidelines'. The Telegraph understands that one option under consideration will be to broadcast Kneecap's gig on iPlayer after the live performance, as the BBC has done in the past. This allows the broadcaster to scrutinise the set for any language or imagery that might breach BBC guidelines.
