Whether or not you managed to get tickets, you may want to get your Oasis fix before the reunion tour kicks off in a couple of weeks time. Now, the BBC have decided to be incredibly generous and broadcast a night of Gallagher best bits on Saturday, June 21.
In two weeks time we will (hopefully) see the notoriously feuding brothers take the stage for the first time together in 15 years. Their reunion tour kicks off in Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, July 4 with a second show at the venue on Saturday, July 5.
BBC Two Wales will be airing two different Oasis performances as well as a documentary on the band from 8.35pm to 00.00am on the Saturday. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter
Dig out your anoraks and bucket hats, because it's the perfect night in for fans of the band and if you didn't get your hands on tickets it is the closest thing to the real deal.
Well, that or seeing a tribute artist I guess.
Moving on. From 8.35pm fans of the band can watch Oasis at the BBC, followed by the documentary Oasis: Right Here, Right Now at 10.20pm.

Lastly, at 11.00pm audiences will be treated to a studio concert by the Gallagher brothers, hosted by Jools Holland called Later Presents Oasis.
It was first shown in April 2000, and includes tracks like the number one Go Let It Out, as well as earlier hits like Wonderwall, Some Might Say and Supersonic.
If you're planning on watching BBC's coverage and you're still searching for tickets for the gigs, there are several options still available. Tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resell site, Viagogo, Vividseats, See Tickets, StubHub, Seat Unique, and Twickets. You can find more information here.
Viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
However, fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.
Lloyds Banking Group estimated that Oasis fans collectively lost more than £2 million to scams since tickets for the band's long-awaited reunion tour went on sale last year.

Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Dundee couple, who have been fans of the band since their childhood, got tickets for Shell's 40th birthday earlier in the year. Dwayne waited until the Gallagher brothers began to play Slide Away before getting down on one knee and popping the question. Dwayne Yuill proposing to his partner of six years, Shell Hodge at the first of Oasis's three nights in Edinburgh on August 8. | Shell Hodge / SWNS Shell said: "We were having the time of our lives at the concert, enjoying the music - Oasis were just sensational. "When Slide Away started, he was shuffling around in his seat - and then it got to the chorus and suddenly he was down on his knee in front of me, with the ring held out in his hands! Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "I knew what he was doing pretty much straight away at that point. "He'd spoken to the stewards before the concert kicked off to let them know - I was totally unaware that he'd done any of that." Dwayne chose Slide Away as the song holds a special place in the couple's hearts - as they enjoy singing along to it in the car. The couple say that Oasis's music means a lot to both of them, with Shell a fan since she was a teenager, and Dwayne introduced to the band by his brother Peter, who has since passed away. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Shell said: "It was the lyrics in that song, they just relate - especially the chorus. "Oasis is really special to the both of us, we're both huge fans. "We always have sing-alongs in the car, and have done since we met - that song always comes on and we always sing our hearts out to it. "It's got sentimental value - it's one of 'our songs', and I think that's why he chose it. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "I've liked Oasis since I was a young teenager. I love their music. "I'd been to see Liam and Noel separately for their solo stuff. "When I was younger, I was too young to sort out going myself to see them, so that was the first time I'd seen them together live. "Dwayne is a fan because of his brother - his brother who passed was a huge Oasis fan. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "There's a couple of songs that are significant that relate to his brother. "Dwayne's late brother is such an important factor on why we share a love for Oasis, and as Slide Away started playing, a very clear face could be seen in the clouds above the stage. "We didn't notice it at the time, it was pointed out to us by so many people on social media the next day and we are just so convinced it was Pete giving us his blessing and maybe also even enjoying the concert himself! "We were thinking about him a lot. Dwayne was very emotional during Live Forever which is the main song that brings thoughts of his brother to him."

The pair quickly began phoning family and friends to tell them the good news - as snaps of the proposal began to circulate on social media. Shell said: "The only two family members that knew were my son and daughter, Courtney and Kyle. Dwayne had asked for their blessing beforehand, so they were all in it together. "We didn't expect it to be posted - we were so shocked, but we were fine with it.

"We were stood in the Starbucks in the middle of Edinburgh phoning family while we were getting tagged and messaged about it! "Everybody was over the moon for us. "I don't think anybody expected it, but everyone is so happy for us and so excited for the wedding." While Shell and Dwayne have not set a date for their wedding yet, they are enjoying their engagement - and say they will definitely include Oasis in their big day.

Oasis gig at Murrayfield 'more ground-shaking' than 2009 performance
Oasis gave an even more ground-shaking performance at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium than their 2009 show when they played there this month, according to analysis of seismic data. The Gallagher brothers' last Scottish gig 16 years ago had topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said. But their shows at the stadium on August 8, 9 and 12 proved even more ground-shaking, particularly while the crowd danced to the song Cigarettes And Alcohol. The crowd on Tuesday generated the highest peak power reading of 261KW, followed by Friday (206KW) and Saturday (160KW). Callum Harrison, BGS Seismologist, said: 'The data showed that Tuesday's audience generated the highest peak power reading. 'It is difficult to determine exactly why, it could be that the dancing on that evening was a bit more synchronised and energetic. 'What the data does appear to show, is that the excitement of Oasis fans remains as strong as ever.' The band played three sold-out shows at Murrayfield, with an estimated 70,000 people packed in to hear them each night. BSG said: 'The peak power reading on each night was registered around 8.40pm whilst the crowd was dancing to Cigarettes And Alcohol. 'The energy detected by the seismic monitoring stations is driven by the movement of the crowd jumping and dancing in time to the music, rather than the volume of the concert, with bigger, more energetic crowds generating larger signal.' The peak power recorded at the Oasis gig in June 2009 was 215.06KW, beating the Red Hot Chili Peppers in June 2004, Kings of Leon in June 2011 and Taylor Swift in June last year. The BGS keeps an archive of continuous ground motion recordings from seismic sensors around the country, dating back several decades. The organisation is the national body responsible for recording earthquakes, operating a network of monitoring stations around the country.

Strictly fix row as Dani Dyer bragged about being a 'qualified dancer' before joining this year's line-up
The Love Island star will compete for the coveted glitterball in the upcoming BBC series Dani Dyer once boasted she would put 'qualified dancer" under the list of qualifications on her CV - as she gets ready to waltz on to the upcoming series of Strictly. The Love Island star, 29, who is the early favourite to win the show, laid bare her experience on the dance floor, admitting she started training aged just two. It's set to call into question whether she has an unfair advantage over her fellow novice celebrities. Last year trained dancer Tasha Ghouri faced a backlash for her training, with some fans branding her inclusion a 'fix'. It comes as three more celebrities were named for this year's series, including model Ellie Goldstein. Writing in her 2019 book, Dani shared how she went to theatre school at weekends from two to 14 and it was there her talent for dancing emerged. 'It was called O'Farrell's Stage School and I was a really good little dancer,' she said. "I'm not a bad singer but it was the dance stuff I loved more - jazz, tap, ballet, modern. I'd get home and prance around the house.' Elsewhere in the book she writes up a mock CV and under qualifications states: 'Qualified dancer and pretty good at singing (especially Dua Lipa or Ariana Grande at the top of her voice while cleaning the kitchen).' Last year Strictly found itself caught up in a fix row after it signed Love Island's Tasha, 27, who had dance training. Actress Sarah Hadland and JLS' JB Gill were also accused of having a head start thanks to their experience. None of them went on to win the show, instead it was won by the first blind contestant Chris McCausland. Elsewhere in her book she said that she shared her dreams of one day appearing on the BBC show. She gushed: "If Strictly Come Dancing want to give me a call I'd also be happy to be whisked around the dance floor." Dani added at the time that "the only thing I'd be worried about would be the curse" as she was with Love Island co-star Jack Fincham at the time. She also revealed she will have an ally on this year's show as she bonded with judge Shirley Ballas on a trek for Comic Relief. She said she was "just the most graceful, lovely person". Dani's performing career got off to a tough start, she opens up in her bestselling book What Would Dani Do? My Guide to Living Your Best Life. Aged nine, she auditioned to be one of the dancers in the stage adaptation of Billy Elliot - and was rejected. But it was thanks to her dad Danny, 48, who has starred in films The Human Traffic and Football Factory as well as EastEnders and Rivals, who gave her her first break. "It was so nerve-wracking and when I didn't get the part I was beside myself,' she wrote. 'I cried all the way home. Mum bought me chunky chips and barbecue sauce to cheer me up, and I ate them with a plastic fork out of the container. "Neither she nor my dad wanted me going for auditions for a few years after that. Dad clearly saw something in me though, because a few years later he asked me to play a part in a film he was doing called Vendetta. "It was a bit random and out of the blue because I was at college (I studied musical theatre for a year but then dropped out) and he rang me up the day before filming to say that the actress who had been due to play the part had pulled out – she was meant to do a scene where she's dragged out of a car, but she'd found out she was pregnant so now didn't want to do it. "So, Dad said it was mine if I wanted it. 'Babe, I don't know if you fancy it but I've got this little role at the beginning of my film Vendetta?' Obviously, I did!' Dani then went on to win Love Island in 2018 with Jack Fincham. They split six months later. In May Dani married West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen, 28, in a lavish ceremony. The pair have twins Summer and Sky, two. Dani has son Santiago, four, from a previous relationship. Dani is the 4/1 favourite to lift the Glitterball Trophy of the nine celebrities to be announced. YouTuber George Clarke is the second-favourite at 6/1. Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: ' Dani Dyer is the current pick of this year's Strictly pack, but with contestants still to be announced, we could soon see someone waltz past her to the head of the betting.'
