Edinburgh Oasis line-up 'officially confirmed' before reunion as new drummer brought in
With the Oasis reunion tour only days away, fans are now wondering what they can expect to see on stage.
Having last performed together back in 2009, the Britpop band are hitting Cardiff, Manchester, Wembley, Dublin and of course Edinburgh. They'll be taking to the stage in Cardiff at the Principality Stadium on Friday.
On Wednesday morning a list of every musician taking part in the tour was shared online, reports Chronicle Live.
The main Oasis band line-up will consist of Liam on lead vocals, Noel (guitar/vocals), Paul Arthurs aka Bonehead on guitar and piano, Gem Archer on guitar, Andy Bell on bass guitar and newcomer Joey Waronker on drums, who has played for Liam at his solo gigs. The latter has prompted much discussion from fans, with many gutted Alan White won't be picking up his sticks for the new tour and Zak Starkey also missing in action.
Several additional musicians also appeared on the list, with Christian Madden on keyboards, Jess Greenfield doing backing vocals, Alastair Whire on trombone, Steve Hamilton (saxophone) and Joe Auckland on trumpet.

Peggy Gallagher poses with huge star at Oasis gig as she finally sees sons' reunion tour
Peggy Gallagher, the woman who helped get the Oasis reunion on the road, was at both Oasis gigs in Dublin over the weekend as she watched her sons reunite on stage The first photo of Peggy Gallagher from the weekend's Oasis gigs has been revealed by an unlikely source - former professional performer and choreographer of Irish dance Michael Flatley. Flatley thanked Noel and Liam for tickets to the gig on instagram and then posted a selection of photos on instagram including one with woman of the moment Peggy. Flatley said: "What a great night at Oasis in Croker! Thanks Noel and Liam." Liam Gallagher dedicated the song Stand By Me to Peggy on Saturday night. She attended both Dublin gigs over the weekend, the first time she has seen her sons back on stage since the Oasis Live 25 tour began. In an interview in June, Peggy was asked if she had anything to do with the reunion between Noel and Liam. She said: 'I was the instigator, yes. But sure, wasn't it always going to happen at some time or other? 'It was their choice, of course. Look you can't force them to do things they don't want to do'. She confessed she was relieved to see her sons working together again, following a years-long rift between the two. 'It's great, because nobody wants their kids falling out, do they?' she said, although she admitted to being nervous about the shows and would be 'glad when it's all just over because it makes me get too stressed.' Peggy has been spending time with both Noel and Liam in the run up to the live tour, and was on holiday with Liam and his partner Debbie in the South of France earlier in the year when Liam was on vocal rest. Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time. This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show! Speaking in the Sunday Times in 2019, Liam said: 'Any good that comes out of me is all from Peggy and all her sisters and brothers. They were a good, close bunch of people. "I never miss my father because my mother was both a mother and a father figure. She was there with the cuddle. She was also there with the whack. I'm generalising dad's there because dads give cuddles as well. but if I needed bringing down a peg or to she could do that, as well as elevate me.' Oasis now have a week off before heading out on the rest of their world tour with dates coming up in Toronto, Canada and then Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Earlier on the tour Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher have hired security to protect their mother's house as Oasis fans flock to Manchester. As fans flocked to Manchester ahead of the Heaton Park gigs, they have been making a pit stop at the band's childhood home. Noel and Liam's mum Peggy still lives in their childhood home, having refused to leave the house. Fans had been spotted on the street and taking snaps outside the home and visit a piece of Oasis history. However, in order to protect their mum Peggy, Noel and Liam have hired security to watch her and her house.

The raucous, uncensored 1990s was an extraordinary era for fashion. No wonder Hollywood is all in
What is it about the 1990s that's so much more interesting than the decades just before and after it – and still relevant? Oasis has dominated the summer. CDs are on the cusp of a vinyl-style revival and a clutch of films about Kate Moss, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Isabella Blow are heading to our screens. Meanwhile, Gen Z has been raiding the era for so long, they risk squandering any chance to leave a sartorial and cultural mark on their own decade. But maybe the lure is so powerful, they don't care. Can you be nostalgic for something you never had? CS Lewis argued powerfully that you could in a 1941 essay, The Weight of Glory. It's a sense that something's missing from your life; a yearning for what you intuitively feel was a simpler time. You could go to a rock concert or the Royal Opera without being hectored by protestors. You didn't necessarily know, nor care, how your friends voted. Cancellation happened to trains (some things never change), not people. In a rare departure from its post-war status quo, Britain seemed bathed in optimism. After Black Wednesday the country's finances defied the economists' predictions and boomed. Films, YBAs, music and fashion were the super novas of the UK's soft power. How were we to know that famous Vanity Fair cover with Liam Gallagher and Patsy Kensit was only on the British version of the magazine? A young couple (ie, my husband and I) working in the burgeoning 'creative industries' could live in London on their combined non-banker salaries, buy an airy Victorian house overlooking a park in an up-and-coming, relatively central area – and pay for a nanny. We even had a classical Pilates studio close by. When I think how rare that was and how ubiquitous Pilates is now, I realise there have been some gains. But back to the rose-tinted specs. The creative industry I worked in was magazines. Unlike Isabella Blow (Izzie), the aristocratic eccentric famous for nurturing a sizeable chunk of the British fashion industry – most notably Lee McQueen (or Alexander as she decided he should be called) – who sat across the Vogue corridor from me for around five years, I wasn't a stylist, but a writer. Less glam, but frequently in the same room as the supermodels and photographers who were shaping the decade's aesthetic. I interviewed them all. Christy was the most spiritual; Cindy the most laser-focused; Helena the most down to earth (she happily jumped into the Vogue mini bus between shows in Paris); Linda the one who took it all the most seriously; Naomi initially cute, adorable and adoring; and Kate, the one about to embark on the biggest journey. In 1993, when I first interviewed her, she was unaffected and delightfully giggly. Most people had no idea she'd become a cultural flashpoint, encapsulating all that was light and dark about the period or that she and Lucian Freud, who became as fascinated by her as everyone else, would be the subjects of one of those forthcoming biopics. (She's played by Ellie Bamber, while Derek Jacobi is Freud.) They were stupendous to look at and Botox- and filler-free. They also set punishingly high beauty standards. There were no agents, managers or publicists at these interviews. I'm not sure when they became a fixture. The contrast between then and now is best summed up by the two I did, 25 years apart, with Miuccia Prada. The first was 1993; she had two little boys whose presence was very much evident in the stylish apartment she and her husband, Patrizio Bertelli, inhabited in Milan. She whizzed us around her neighbourhood in her teeny Fiat, showing me her favourite hangouts. Two decades later, shortly before she was due to collect an award in London, I flew to Milan to interview her again. This time it took place in her austere office in the Prada complex and was closely monitored by one of her team, who then emailed me afterwards with a plea to expunge anything remotely controversial. Mrs Prada, like everyone else in fashion, film and music, was terrified of getting cancelled. God knows how Izzie would have coped with cancel culture. She was eyebrow-raisingly uncensored; her conversation a raucous, unfiltered account of disastrous sexcapades, her precarious finances and infectious enthusiasm for the seemingly never-ending stream of talent she kept finding in British fashion colleges. She was a collision of so many worlds: landed gentry and high fashion, what she called penury and jet set; screwball comedy and ultimately, tragedy. Acutely fascinated by and partially resistant to class distinctions, she wanted everyone to rise to her social level, which even in the 1990s seemed to belong to another century. I can't wait to see what actress Andrea Riseborough makes of her in the Queen of Fashion, the film of her life. Alexandra Shulman, one of Izzie's editors, is played by Michelle Dockery. Coincidentally, Izzie and I both moved from Vogue to a certain newspaper company then based in Wapping. I would sometimes see her stumbling along the highway in her rackety heels – her shoes always wobbled, her hats were always skew-whiff . This was before the epicentre of London shifted several miles to the east. Wapping might as well have been Perth. Her mad millinery and the signature red lipstick that was invariably splattered in the vague vicinity of her mouth meant flagging down a black taxi (no Uber back then) was a hit and miss undertaking. I'd grind to a halt alongside her in my Mini (it was strictly no stopping on the highway) and she'd clamber in, an assistant – who'd been dispatched to the other side of the highway to double their chances of nabbing a cab – scrambling in with several sack loads of clothes, behind her. One story we worked on together about Bella Freud culminated in Izzie literally flinging herself at the feet of the art director begging for his forgiveness. She was in charge of styling the models (including Yasmin le Bon) and her brief was to make them look natural and spontaneous. By the time I arrived to do the interviews, the models were coated head to toe in white clay to make them look like statues. Brief not fulfilled. Pictures killed. She might have seemed a vortex of chaos but she trained her assistants brilliantly. I was always happy to take them on after an Izzie induction. One of them, in particular, was a paragon of efficiency – although she did plaster the pinboard behind her with pictures of herself which had largely been shot by Steven Meisel, Conde Nast's star photographer. That was Plum Sykes, who would later pen best-selling comedies of manners that read like a high-end travel agent's road map of the past 30 years. Having begun with Bergdorf Blondes in 1990s New York, her most recent is a chronicle of the heli-pad set in the Cotswolds. Fashion hadn't yet become an industrial complex dominated by three main groups, LVMH, Kering and Inditex. Designers were exploring some concepts such as minimalism, for what felt like the first time. I recently caught myself trying to manifest a dark navy Jil Sander cocoon coat I had from the period. Jil Sander, Yohji Yamamoto and Helmut Lang, from whom I bought one trouser suit, were the architects of that pared-back rigour that would be recycled and reduced 30 years later on Instagram and TikTok , somewhat tediously, as 'quiet luxury'. We had far fewer clothes then, even at Vogue. Fast fashion didn't really get going until the Noughties. That was good. So was not being run over by twerps on e-scooters. On the other hand, e-bikes have made getting around our cities fun again. We didn't, for better or worse, have Spotify, streamers, sourdough, social media, hand-held clothes steamers, sexy looking flat screens – and that's just the S category. I wore that Lang trouser suit well into the new millennium, until the seat of the trousers wore out. Form followed function – a refreshing switch from the gaudy 1980s. Those bias-cut slip dresses skirts and dresses, ribbed skinny T-shirts, Prada camel coats, sinuous, any-colour-so-long-as-it's-black cocktail dresses and the 'natural make-up pioneered by Bobbi Brown in 1991 still seem current. Three enduring shots sum up the decade's louche but elegant glamour: Kate Moss in a Narciso Rodriguez sheath dress on the arm of Johnny Depp (before we knew about his feet of clay); Brad and Gwyneth, in a red Tom Ford for Gucci velvet suit (before we knew he was, as Gwyneth later allegedly said, 'dumber than a sack of s--t'); Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, a one-time VIP dresser at Calvin Klein, pacing through Manhattan or Martha's Vineyard, like a hunted doe, with John F Kennedy Junior. But other images tell a different story: shell suits, whale tails, lads, ladettes and bad fake tans. 'The late 90s was pretty naff and ugly,' creative director of Joseph (another beloved 1990s label still going), Mario Areno, reminded me recently. The clothes aren't the only aspect of the 1990s that have been run through a nostalgic filter. There was plenty that was dark about the decade. A pre-digital era sounds relaxing but it fostered an environment where outrageous behaviour happened out of sight. When I was commissioned to write a feature about the cult of so-called 'heroin chic' (which saw models being propped up on pillows for shoots because they were so out of it they couldn't sit up) the industry closed ranks. No one would talk about it on or off the record. Size zero was as prevalent as racial and body diversity were rare. It was, like any time, complicated, contradictory, bookended by Margaret Thatcher and the poll tax riots and The Spice Girls and Cool Britannia. The Priory – a rehab clinic in west London – did huge business, but a nascent wellness industry was also germinating. It was party, party, party and you came home reeking of fags because, apart from the Tube, you could smoke everywhere. The comedown, as Izzie, who took her own life in 2007 discovered, could be brutal.

Noel Gallagher's brutal dig at Royal Family at Oasis gig as crowd boo
Oasis star Noel Gallagher was left in shock when he was met with boos from the audience during the band's final gig at Dublin's Croke Park in Ireland this weekend. Noel Gallagher was met with brutal boos when he graced the stage for Oasis ' closing night in Ireland during their ongoing reunion tour. Noel, 58, was on stage for the second of two performances at Croke Park when he riled up the crowd. Prior to belting out Half The World Away on Sunday night on August 17, Noel enquired: "Anyone from Manchester?" However, he didn't expect the reaction as the audience began a chorus of boos. Stunned by the reception, he continued: "Excuse me, excuse me? Booing for the people in Manchester? Oh no, no, no, no, that won't do! Be nice!" It comes as Liam's eldest son Lennon chose to bypass the Dublin gigs and jet off to Ibiza, according to the Mirror. As Noel presented Half The World Away, he declared: "This is for the Royle Family – the real Royal Family," taking a dig at Windsor. Before the late Queen Elizabeth 's Platinum Jubilee, he mentioned he wasn't "anti-royal" but observed that the "appeal" of the monarchy had been "dwindling". "There are other things for people to be interested in," he remarked, before describing the monarchy as "a bit farcical." The reception from the Dublin crowd couldn't dampen what proved to be a Supersonic weekend for Noel and Liam, who delivered two completely sold-out performances at the Irish venue, which holds more than 80,000. Liam disclosed that his mum Peggy was observing from the stands on Saturday as he devoted a song to her. Prior to performing Stand By Me, he announced to the crowd: "This one I want to dedicate to my mum, my mum is here tonight." Peggy Gallagher has been backing her two sons since they chose to set aside their feud to entertain fans following a break from music back in 2009. During an interview earlier in June, Peggy was questioned about playing a role in bringing Noel and Liam back together. She responded: "I was the instigator, yes. But sure, wasn't it always going to happen at some time or other? It was their choice, of course. Look, you can't force them to do things they don't want to do." Also attending Saturday's performance was Noel's 25-year-old daughter Anaïs Gallagher. Revelling in the atmosphere among the audience, she posted video clips on social media of a pal belting out Live Forever. She also shared a snap of her dad alongside her uncle Liam, as they performed on stage to the joy of a wave of Oasis rockers. After the Dublin shows, Oasis will next head to Canada where they will take to the stage in Toronto. The band will then embark on a North American tour before returning to the UK for two additional London performances. Following this, they jet off to Asia, Australia, and finally South America, with the tour set to end in Brazil at the end of November.
