Oasis tour Cardiff banned items and parking ahead of Liam and Noel's epic return
Liam and Noel Gallagher's return to the stage is now just weeks away with the tour kicking off on Friday 4th July. Oasis fans heading to Cardiff for the first night of the Live 25 tour have a long list of things they CAN'T bring into the stadium.
According to the Principality Stadium's official website only small bags and handbags are allowed in the stadium. So any fans with larger rucksacks or suitcases will need to store them before they get there. The rules state:
'Due to the current unprecedented security situation, it's better for everyone if you do not bring a bag at all. We will not permit large bags into the stadium but you will be permitted to take small bags and handbags in with you. We class small bags as no larger than 35cm x 40cm x 19cm or standard handbags. There are no bag storage facilities available at the stadium – please plan ahead if you intend travelling to Cardiff with a large bag.'
Help is at hand as Cardiff has several companies that store large bags, including Stasher in the town centre which is open 24 hours a day.
There is also a large list of items which are banned from entering the stadium. These include leaflets, banners and flags if they are deemed to be promotional, commercial, political or religious.
As well as this the full list of banned items are: 'Fireworks, flares, pyrotechnics, all horns including air horns, musical instruments, smoke canisters, laser pointers, bottles, glasses, cans, cooking devices, banners, poles, large golf-type umbrellas, 'selfie 'sticks, knives, blades and other articles or containers – including any which could or might be used as a weapon – or any other item which in the reasonable opinion of the WRU Group, its servants or agents, could be used as a weapon or cause nuisance to others, are prohibited within the Stadium.'

According to the Principality website the doors open for the first and second Oasis live 25 shows on July 4 and July 5 at 5pm.
In terms of parking in Cardiff close to the stadium, it may pay to plan ahead as it is extremely limited, with no dedicated spectator parking options at or near the stadium.
It's recommended to pre-book parking in city centre car parks, which are a short walk away from the stadium, to ensure a space and avoid the hassle of searching on the day.
The stadium website says: 'There's plenty of parking options in the city centre, but there is no dedicated spectator car parking at or immediately near the stadium, so be sure to plan your journey in advance.
'Please note that for Stadium concerts and events, road closures will be in place – please check your specific event information for further details.'
The largest car parks in Cardiff are the NCP car parks at Dumfries Place with 955 spaces and Knox Road with 747 spaces. Dumfries Place is a 23 minute walk to the stadium with Knox Road 20 minutes. Other options include apps which allow you to rent parking spaces from locals like just park.com
The nearest train station to the Principality Stadium is Cardiff Central, which operates mainline services from West Wales, the Midlands, the South Coast and London. Upon arriving into the station, the ground is a five-minute walk away.
Oasis began their rehearsals on May 20 with the first sessions being without Liam who was resting his voice. Noel Gallagher was pictured alongside Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and new drummer Joey Waronker.
In April Noel broke his silence in a new book to talk about the Oasis Live 25 tour.
On the demand for tickets, Noel told photographer Kevin Cummins: "I thought it'd be a big deal, but I was a bit taken aback by just how much of a big deal it was.'
Liam then joined rehearsals with the rest of Oasis on June 3 and at the time Liam told fans he was feeling 'biblical' about being back with brother Noel performing for the first time in 16 years.
Earlier this year Noel was quizzed to name his favourite Oasis song but replied: "Can I have more than one? Supersonic, Some Might Say, Live Forever and Rock'n'Roll Star."
The UK shows will also feature special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast, who are friends with the band.

Noel Gallagher in major music move after Oasis reunion leaves him 'supercharged'
The rocker has sights set on a new project - with uncertainty surrounding whether it will involve brother Liam Noel Gallagher is writing new tunes – but hasn't yet decided if he'll perform them alongside his brother Liam in Oasis. Sources close to Noel, 58, say he's been inspired by the amazing response to the band's sell-out reunion world tour. But he is still wondering whether to carry on working on his music alone, or just Roll With It and let Liam, 52, in on the action for a new Oasis album. An insider said: 'Noel has been inspired by playing to adoring crowds, who have supercharged his creativity. But he is undecided whether his work will become a new album for Oasis with Liam on vocals.' Noel, who also fronts High Flying Birds, is said to be 'waiting to see how things play out'. But the insider revealed: 'Noel has been in an absolutely fine mood... greeting staff with smiles, super relaxed and sharing his joy about the shows. 'He's also been strumming some new tunes in his dressing room. But, from what he has said, these tracks are not yet aligned for any project. 'There is no Oasis studio return as yet agreed by the band and they still have a long way to go. Things are great now, but who knows what will happen given the brothers' past troubles on the road.' Oasis split in 2009 after the brothers had a huge fall-out. But they announced last year they would play together again and kicked off their tour in Cardiff in July. They stand to make £50million each, if they can keep the peace on their travels and have so far stayed away from each other off-stage. In Ireland this weekend, even their hotels were reportedly 30 miles apart. Performing at Dublin's Croke Park tonight and tomorrow, it claimed Liam is at Powerscourt Hotel in County Wicklow and Noel staying at Carton House hotel, Maynooth. Noel was mobbed by fans as he enjoyed a drink in a local pub. Filmmaker Charlie Lightening shared Liam's pre-show ritual - and how he was expected him and brother Noel to keep their distance. 'With Liam, he'll come and do the soundcheck, then he'll go to his hotel room and just chill all day,' he previously said. 'And then most of the time, he turns up 20 minutes before he goes on stage, straight into his dressing room, finishes off his warm-up. No one talks to him. 'He comes out five minutes before the show, does the show then goes straight off into his car. You don't really see him.' Charlie says the tension between Liam and big brother Noel is also what makes Oasis tick. 'It will never fully go. It will still have that edge, for sure.' After Ireland the band is off to Canada, US, and Mexico, before playing at Wembley Stadium in London again on September 27 and 28. They will later head off to Asia, Australia and South America, with the last stop of their Oasis Live '25 tour in Sao Paulo in Brazil on November 22 and 23.

Noel Gallagher mobbed by fans as he enjoys quiet drink before Oasis' Dublin shows
Noel Gallagher made sure to pop into an Irish pub before Oasis make their comeback to Dublin on Saturday and Sunday night. He was surrounded by fans as he made his way inside the boozer in Maynooth for a tipple. News quickly spread across Oasis fans as Noel became mobbed inside Brady's Clockhouse. He didn't seem fazed though, as the Britpop icon posed for photos with fans and signed autographs. An Oasis fan who bumped into Noel in the pub described him as "bang on" and "like a normal lad". The rock legend is staying nearby at the luxurious five-star Carton House hotel before his eagerly-awaited reunion tour at Croke Park. It comes after Paul Weller reveals the unusual reason he refuses to watch Oasis concerts. Oasis mania hits Ireland as Gallagher brothers return to their ancestral home David Beckham speaks 'as a father' in 'family' announcement after latest Brooklyn snub Ryan King managed to meet Noel before he returned to his hotel - and even secured an autograph on his bucket hat. Speaking to the Irish Mirror, he revealed: "The security told us to leave him but he said 'Come on' and he signed a T-shirt, a hat and a few vinyls for the lads. "He was nice, he was bang on, he's like a normal lad." While local resident Linda Hannigan believed her daughter Abbie was fibbing when she pointed out Noel in the small pub. Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! Abbie said: "I was here for drinks with my parents and my mam thought I was messing because we were trying to get tickets and I only got my ticket yesterday. I am going on Sunday." Another pair revealed Noel was sat directly beside them in Brady's Clockwork enjoying a beverage. However, they chose not to disturb him, and quipped: "Doesn't he deserve a few pints?" Noel's brother Liam didn't join him for a drink despite their huge reunion as he has chosen to stay at the Powerscourt Hotel in Wicklow instead.

Dublin ‘buzzing' ahead of Oasis' return to Ireland
Tens of thousands of fans have descend on the Irish capital for the first of two sold-out gigs at the country's largest stadium. The 90s Britpop superstars will perform to 80,000 people at Croke Park on Saturday and Sunday nights. Croke Park will see Oasis' first performance in Ireland since a dramatic split in 2009 (Cillian Sherlock/PA) After an 'in-demand' dynamic pricing model left a poor taste for some fans last year, ticket-holders will roll with it and enjoy the music in temperatures above 20C. Health officials advised revellers to wear their bucket hats, with high UV levels predicted amid warm and dry sunny spells in Dublin on Saturday. The band's first gig in the country since 2009, the Dublin leg of the reunion world tour will hold a special meaning for once-feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. The Mancunian brothers have spoken about their ties to Ireland through their Irish-born parents, Peggy and Thomas. Sarah and Neil Charlton travelled from Southampton to see the band, after a determined search for standing tickets saw them clinching access in Dublin. Mr Charlton said they have both been waiting a long time to see the band reunite – having seen Oasis multiple times before their extended hiatus. The Oasis reunion has been a huge event in the cultural calendar (Cillian Sherlock/PA) He told the PA news agency: 'We thought: what a great city to come to and see the gig and have a couple of nights out in Dublin.' Mr Charlton added: 'It's just so nostalgic – all the songs and all the music from when we were growing up. 'When we first started seeing each other, we went to a gig and so it's always been a part of our lives together.' Oasis formed part of the romantic story for Lisa and Alan Roe too, who said their love of the band dates back to when they got married in the 1990s. Mr Roe said: 'Because the two of them are after getting back together after so many years, to be able to sell out a world tour the way they did – and their music going back to the late 80s and 90s. 'That brings an aura about in everybody and a buzz and the memories of growing up in Dublin with them – it's absolutely out of this world.' The atmosphere is building for Oasis fans, Anthony and Tara Hayes with Paudie and Nicky Hayes (front left and right) (Cillian Sherlock/PA) Having had to wait a long time for the reunion tour, Sinead Millea from Kilkenny – who previously saw the band in Limerick in 1996 – said: 'Maybe we're all going through a bit of a midlife crisis – I turned 50 this year, and look, Noel and Liam, they're in their 50s as well. 'And maybe things just dawned on them that life is too short and just, let's put grievances to bed. 'They seem to be getting on great, and it's fabulous. And at the end of the day, music transcends everything, and we're all here to enjoy a brilliant night and to share it with the people that mean the most. 'It's just amazing. The weather is fabulous and it's a brilliant venue.' The support acts for the Dublin dates are Richard Ashcroft from The Verve and Cast, formed by John Power after he left The La's. The setlist has crowd-pleasing hits such as Cigarettes And Alcohol and Wonderwall. Fans have also been treated to favourites including Acquiesce, Some Might Say and Morning Glory – before a Don't Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova crescendo. Oasis announced their reunion tour in August last year, 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009, when Noel quit after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. The highly anticipated 41-date run has already seen the band play Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh before taking them half the world away to major cities, including in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Japan.
