Oasis fans share key advice getting into front standing section at Wembley gigs

Oasis fans are pouring on London for the second of seven Wembley gigs. The Gallagher brothers performed together in London for the first time in 16 years last night (July 25), with the band returning to the Wembley stage again later today. A crowd of 81,000 witnessed history being made - with those fans being the first of more than 630,000 who are expected to see the Oasis Live '25 shows in London.

Stay connected with our City Life newsletter here A mix of seated and standing tickets were available for fans trying to get a glimpse of Noel, Liam and the band at one of the Wembley shows. Tickets were allocated in recent weeks, including for fans with standing tickets. Oasis fans online have reported holding tickets which say either 'front standing' or 'general admission' for the Wembley shows. However, fans with 'general admission' tickets were able to access the front standing area yesterday - so long as they got in the queue early enough. Social media has been awash with Oasis fans sharing their advice, including general admission ticketholders who received a stamp allowing access near the front. In a thread on Reddit, one user asked: "Can anyone explain the stamp situation? "If you're GA [general admission] you can queue up, get a stamp for front standing, then f*** about for a couple hours and come back and walk straight into front standing, is that right?" Explaining the situation, another user replied: "Pretty much. We got stamped around 12:30 PM. "Joined the queue 20 minutes before the doors opened and at that time there were still people getting stamped. Getting to front standing wasn't hard at all." Other fans have also explained the situation on social media, with one Reddit user posting: "Was there tonight (Friday), if you have standing you can get front standing, first 2.5k, they get you to queue up on the ramp at the yellow entrances and give you as stamp and line up, it's all well signed and worked really well! "We got there about 3:30pm and was about 1k in! If you're going over the next few days enjoy was class!" Another user wrote: "Went yesterday and the front standing queue was round by the red entrance. "We joined it before 4pm and got a front section wristband no problem. We had green zone tickets but didn't matter." On Facebook, other Oasis fans shared similar advice. One fan explained: "I was there yesterday. Front Standing. We went to yellow zone about 12:30 and got a stamp. Join our Oasis WhatsApp group here "We then went to Box Park for a couple hours then back to yellow zone for 3 where we waited in line till doors opened at 5... Once you get ushered through security you will get a wristband and you're in." Another added: "Just go early and walk straight to the yellow zone, you get a stamp and can go to front area." Oasis return to the Wembley stage tonight (Saturday) before five further dates on July 30, August 2, August 3, September 27 and September 28.

CBS canceling Colbert begs the question: Are more late night shows next?

There are two schools of thought around CBS' decision to end "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." The first says the cancellation is a one-off exit from the storied time slot — that Paramount was trying to push through the red tape to finally merge with Skydance Media, a deal that was approved by the Federal Communications Commission Thursday after more than a year in limbo. The other says it signals the beginning of the end of late night TV. The entertainment industry will have a better sense of where the truth lies next year when Disney decides the fate of Jimmy Kimmel's late night show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live." While NBC recently extended the contracts of its two late night hosts, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, into 2028, Kimmel's contract is set to lapse in 2026. "Jimmy Kimmel Live" has been a late night staple since 2003, acting not only as a typical talk show on the circuit, but as a valuable marketing hub for Disney's slate of theatrical and television content. In addition to traditional one-on-one interviews, Kimmel will also frequently host several stars from the same project, often for blockbuster titles from Marvel, Star Wars and the company's animated franchises. Clips from these chats are fed onto Kimmel's YouTube channel, which has more than 20 million subscribers, and across social media, helping to generate buzz for upcoming Disney projects. For comparison, Fallon's show account has around 32 million subscribers, while Colbert's stands at 10 million and Meyers' at just over 5 million. Kimmel is also a frequent host of the Academy Awards, which airs on Disney's ABC, and is currently the host of ABC's celebrity edition of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." These ancillary assignments, as well as his annual job closing out Disney's Upfronts presentation for advertisers, may make Kimmel more important to Disney's long-term future than Colbert was for Paramount or CBS. Still, while the next test of media's commitment to late night is months off, the end of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" is calling attention to the mounting pressures on traditional TV and raising questions about the whether the time slot can survive the evolving viewing landscape. The cost of producing late night programs has risen as the media industry has been upended by streaming and shifting consumer habits. The traditional pay TV bundle has lost millions of customers in recent years, and as they've disappeared, so too have advertising dollars. The shifting equation has forced media companies to rebalance. At a large scale, companies like Comcast's NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. Discovery have opted to split off their cable TV networks into separate corporate entities. At the programming level, big shows are increasingly greenlit for release on streaming services rather than traditional networks. Salaries of highly paid news anchors have moderated, with some stepping away from traditional networks entirely and starting out their own ventures. And much of the money spent on bulking up both linear TV networks and streaming services is earmarked for live sports. That leaves familiar titles in flux. "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" employed around 200 people and recorded annual losses of around $40 million, according to a person familiar with the matter, who declined to be named speaking about nonpublic matters. "Jimmy Kimmel Live" employs around 250 people and loses roughly the same amount, according to a person familiar with that show's finances. While the pay-TV bundle still rakes in the highest share of profits for legacy media companies – much of which stems from the fees that pay-TV distributors hand over to the networks to be included in the bundle – that figure is in decline. Linear TV advertising revenue has also been on a steady downward slope. Industry analysts and experts expected the ad market to stabilize in 2025 after tumultuous streaming-centric years, but macroeconomic uncertainty has hampered the recovery. In quarterly earnings that were reported in May, Paramount, NBCUniversal and Disney each reported lower ad sales on a year-over-year basis. Paramount reported in May that its first-quarter TV advertising revenue was down 21% to $2.04 billion, mainly due to comparisons to the prior-year period when the company had the Super Bowl. That championship beckons the most ad dollars of any live event on TV. Without the Super Bowl, ad revenue would have been flat, the company said. Overall revenue for Paramount's TV segment was down 13%. Of the traditional TV ad spend that does remain, the biggest share has gravitated to live sports, which draw the biggest audiences. NBCUniversal recently touted its record ad sales volume during the most recent Upfront cycle due to an upcoming slate of NBA, the Super Bowl, Winter Olympics and other sports. Disney reported in May that quarterly revenue for its domestic linear networks was down 3% to $2.2 billion, attributing the decline to lower ad revenue. Still, Disney noted ad revenue for ESPN and sports in general saw an increase in ad revenue. These headwinds help legitimize Paramount's decision to cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," but the timing of the program's end has raised suspicions. The announcement that Colbert's show would take its final bow in May 2026 came just days after the tenured host publicly called out Paramount for its $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump over the editing of a "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Colbert called the settlement a "big fat bribe" during one of his show-opening monologues, referencing the then-pending merger between Paramount and Skydance Media, which required the approval of the Trump administration to proceed. Paramount and CBS executives released a statement last week saying the cancellation was "purely a financial decision against the challenging backdrop in late night." "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount," the company continued. While ratings for Colbert's show have declined over the last decade, the program has consistently achieved the highest views of any show in the 11:35 p.m. hour, outdrawing ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," according to Nielsen. Still, Colbert's ratings have been declining each season. For the most recent September-to-May time period, Colbert averaged roughly 1.9 million viewers, with the majority of viewership coming in the age demographic of over 65, according to Nielsen — a telling data point about the state of TV viewership. Kimmel's viewership paints a similar picture, with viewership dropping from the September-to-May time period in 2019-2020 to the most recent in 2024-2025, when the average was nearly 1.6 million viewers, according to Nielsen. When Paramount listed its slate of highly rated TV shows during its last earnings report, including "Tracker," the top rated series and "Matlock," the highest rated new series, it also listed Colbert's "The Late Show" as the highest rated broadcast late night show. "The Daily Show," also from Paramount, was the top late night show on cable TV. Some industry experts have questioned whether CBS could have explored other ways to save money — or save late night — besides outright canceling "The Late Show." NBC cut costs by eliminating the band on Meyers' late night show and shifting Fallon to four nights a week instead of five. CBS tried to bring a younger demographic into the hour with "After Midnight," a late night show that ran after Colbert. The show was hosted by comedian Taylor Tomlinson and was centered on viral internet phenomena. Though CBS intended to renew the show after its first two seasons, Tomlinson decided not to extend her contract, and the show was canceled.

Kelly Osbourne pays tribute to father Ozzy, 'the best friend I ever had'

Ozzy's ex-daughter-in-law also posted a heartfelt tribute to the late rocker, who was a beloved grandfather. Kelly Osbourne paid tribute to her father, Ozzy, on Thursday, sharing poignant lyrics from a song the two recorded together before he died at the age of 76 following a battle with Parkinson's disease. 'I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had 💔,' Kelly wrote in a post to Instagram. These are lyrics from the Black Sabbath song 'Changes,' released in 1972 but recorded by Kelly and Ozzy as a duet in 2003, with revised lyrics that showed their strong father-daughter bond. Earlier this month, Osbourne performed what was dubbed his 'final bow' from a throne at Villa Park in the U.K. After the show, Kelly became engaged to her longtime partner, musician Sid Wilson of the band Slipknot, after he got down on one knee backstage. Kelly shared a video of the engagement on Instagram, during which you can hear Ozzy say to Wilson: 'F*** off, you're not marrying my daughter!' which was met with laughs. Wilson and Kelly welcomed a son named Sidney in 2022. More of Osbourne's loved ones have started to post personal tributes to the heavy metal icon, who lived with Parkinson's disease until he died on July 22. Lisa Stelly, who was married to Osbourne's son Jack from 2012 to 2019, posted an emotional tribute to her ex-father-in-law on Instagram, honoring him as a loving grandfather. Jack and Stelly had three daughters while they were married: Pearl, Andy and Minnie. 'The world got Ozzy. We got Papa,' Stelly wrote in the caption. 'One of one. Larger than life. It hurts to say goodbye, but what a gift it was to have him. We will never stop missing you.' The post gives a softer look at the 'Prince of Darkness,' who is smiling as he holds one of his young grandchildren. The post also includes a video of him playfully dodging kisses from one of his grandchildren as she giggles. Other images show the Black Sabbath frontman puckering up for a kiss, cuddling two kiddos at once on a couch and sitting at an outdoor table with Stelly. After Osbourne died, the Osbourne family released the following joint statement signed by wife Sharon and their children Kelly, Jack, Aimee, as well as his son Louis from his prior marriage to Thelma Riley: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.' Solve the daily Crossword
