Important detail confirmed for Oasis Croke Park gigs just over 90 days away
The door times at Croke Park have been confirmed for Oasis' much-anticipated return to Dublin later this summer.
The Britpop legends will play Croke Park on August 16 and 17 with support from Richard Ashcroft and Cast.
And for those looking to get in early to get their favoured spot, doors are open at 4.30pm on Saturday, August 16 and 4.40pm on Sunday, August 17, according to promoters MCD, reports Dublin Live.
Tickets for the Dublin gigs have long since sold out, but with just over 90 days to go, there are a small number of resale tickets currently on offer on Ticketmaster. However, they don't come cheap, with one seated ticket currently on sale for €502.90.
The Gallagher brothers caused a stir last summer when putting one of the most famous feuds in music to bed and announcing a series of comeback shows, which will get underway at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, July 4. Former bass player Andy Bell, who replaced original bassist Guigsy in 1999, recently confirmed he will also be back in the fold.
The full band line-up has yet to be officially confirmed but it has widely been reported to include founding member Bonehead on guitar alongside Gem Archer, with newcomer Joey Waronker on drums. Liam has recently dropped some hints of what to expect from the setlist, with some fan favourites looking like they won't be included.
The younger Gallagher appeared to rule out Hey Now and Go Let It Out when questioned on X recently. More surprisingly, Liam also suggested that Acquiesce, a song about how the brothers need each other, had also not made the cut.
Responding to one disappointed fan about a tune missing out, Liam said: "The setlist is done... now don't take it personally and call me hurty names as it's not my fault we can't play them all."
This year is shaping up to a milestone year for Liam, 52, as he is also set to become a granddad for the first time. His daughter Molly Moorish-Gallagher recently announced her pregnancy.
Molly, 27, revealed on Instagram yesterday that she is expecting a baby with her partner, Liverpool footballer Nat Phillips. Sharing the news alongside a pregnancy emoji, she wrote: "Bulking season."
The post also contained a series of photos related to her pregnancy, including some showcasing her growing bump. Another showed a sneak peek at the baby clothes they've already bought, with various items displayed on a sheet in the photo.
One snap showed a T-shirt emblazoned with: "Cool mums have cool kids." Phillips, 28, is on loan at Derby County from Premier League title winners Liverpool, who had been the biggest challengers to Liam's beloved Man City for most of the past decade.
But the singer is showing no signs of wavering loyalties despite his grandchild's father having featured for his team's great rivals. When asked by a fan what he hopes the tot's first words would be, Liam simply replied: "CITY".

‘People don't know this' – Michael Owen breaks silence on ‘well done he's 13' meme 26 years on from humiliating teenager
IT IS probably the cringiest moment from Michael Owen's long list. But now he has broken his silence on the infamous "well done, he's 13" gag from Neville Southall. 6 Michael Owen showed his ruthless finishing in the 1999 video Credit: YouTube 6 He famously celebrated the goals Credit: YouTube 6 Neville Southall quipped the famous phrase 'well done, he's 13' Credit: YouTube Owen featured in a Michael Owen Soccer Skills video in 1999 where he faced a young goalkeeper at an empty Stoke City stadium. The former England striker did his best to humiliate the To his credit, Hutchinson did make some saves. But the video is remembered for Owen chipping, rounding and firing past the helpless child between the sticks - before shamelessly celebrating each finish. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL The laughing ex-Liverpool man clenched his fists, ran away with his arms aloft, mocked the goalkeeper for nutmegging him and pointed to his name on the back of his shirt. But it was his embarrassing shout of "get in there - game, set and match, Owen" that triggered Southall's brilliant quip. Southall said: "Well done, he's 13," a comment which remains a viral sensation and etched into British football heritage. But now, 26 years on, Owen has opened up on the clip - and revealed not all was quite as it seemed because he was told to play up for the cameras. Most read in Football CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS He told 'I got back from the World Cup in 98 and there were loads of commercial opportunities, things like that. Virgil van Dijk 'destroys' Michael Owen with brutal 13-word put-down on live TV after Liverpool beat Everton 'I was asked to do a soccer skills video and a soccer skills book. So I had to explain, talk through finishing, volleying, heading, whatever the skill was. Inevitably, you need a goalkeeper there. 'I never picked them and so I turned up to do the show and to talk through how I see scoring a goal and what I think in certain scenarios and whatever. 'There was a kid in goal that I had to score past and when I scored they're like, 'Come on, no, you need to show a bit more animation. Like celebrate when you score, this is going on a video.'" talkSPORT host Andy Goldstein clarified: "So people don't know this, right?" And Owen continued: "People just laugh at you no matter what. Then they take a little extract of anything. 'There's loads of things like that on the internet on me.' 'NOT EXACTLY IDEAL' Hutchinson spoke about the viral video in 2016 and admitted he knew it would not come out too well for him. He said: 'Being the goalkeeper on a programme headlined by a striker wasn't exactly ideal for me. 'It was made clear that it wouldn't make good filming if the goalkeeper was saving all the shots taken by the other kids after they had been coached by Michael.' And even Southall himself did defend Owen's actions earlier this year. The 92-cap Wales goalkeeper - who reunited with Hutchinson a few years ago - added: "I think he was being ironic to be fair, but I think he was enjoying himself and being ironic. 'But the poor kid, he scored a squillion goals past him and I was thinking 'give him a break'. 'On the day, Michael was okay and he's always okay. 'People judge him on that and that's not him." 6 Owen pointed to the name on his shirt Credit: YouTube 6 The ex-striker revealed he was told to give it big Credit: talkSPORT 6 Southall and Hutchinson were reunited a few years ago Credit: X

Irish TikToker goes on epic quest to find classic drink from 2010s
An Irish TikToker has embarked on an epic quest to determine if anywhere in the country still serves a classic drink from the 2010s. Being sold in the good old days in promos such as two for a tenner, the staple that was Zaconey and Coke was a bestseller in pubs and clubs around the country — becoming a particularly popular beverage of choice for the college students, before being unceremoniously discontinued in 2016. While bottles of the 'God's nectar' were knocking about until 2019, there are, unfortunately, only a finite number of bottles left; with TikToker Liam Mackessy going on a quest to try and find a bottle of the brown stuff. @liammackessy I feel we are closer to getting Zaconey back on the market but in case we don't succeed, Linnane's bar in Tralee is the place to be! Sinead, you are and will always be a legend for this! #zaconey #zaconeyandcoke #bringbackzaconey #irelandtiktok #blastfromthepast #ireland ♬ original sound – Liam Mackessy After being inundated with comments saying that people have a 'tiny drop' left that they want to save for a special occasion, Liam didn't stop there, saying that he was looking for a proper bottle/to see if there were any pubs, anywhere in the country, that still served it (and again, we cannot stress, this was discontinued over half a decade ago). However, he struck gold (and Coke) when he found out that Hennessy's Bar in Tralee bought a number of the bottles before they were discontinued, and are serving the drinks, as well as Linnane's Bar — with a follower whose partner worked there bringing up a bottle of the good stuff to Liam, where he and his husband enjoyed a Zaconey and Coke over a decade later. 'We used to drink this all the time when we lived in Galway back in 2014, 2015,' Liam said. 'Let's do a little taste test and see if it brings back all those memories from that time.' Zaconey and Coke was a staple of the college town drink in the mid-2010s, with the drink being discontinued. However, some people are still looking for the finite bottles. Pic: Riley's Dundalk/Instagram The taste brought back the memories for Liam, who immediately said: 'I didn't realise how much I missed Zaconey until now.' While the drink has been discontinued, some people have shared that they have managed to keep their bottles over the years — with one person on the Ireland subreddit sharing an unopened bottle of Zaconey and writing 'Could this be the last one in Ireland?' '2 Zaconey and Coke for €10 (I think) in Workman's Dublin,' one person reminisced. 'Peak college years!' The drink has been discontinued with a few bottles still knocking about — and even a few pubs still serve them. Pic: Zaconey/Facebook 'Man, we really were living in the good days,' another wrote. 'Nowadays they'd call it a cocktail and you'd be paying €15 for a watered-down one,' while another added 'Zaconey and Pepsi in Electric Galway. What a time to be alive gods nectar.'

Oasis calling on fans to share 'deep meaning' stories for tour film
Oasis fans are being invited to share their stories about "a particular song" that holds "deep meaning" to them for the Oasis Live '25 Tour film. Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is producing the reuniting Britpop legends' documentary, with renowned filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace on board to direct - the duo behind LCD Soundsystem's concert film Shut Up And Play The Hits. Magna Studios - whose credits include Beastie Boys Story, Gangs Of London, 20000 Days On Earth, and Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now - are heading up the production and are asking fans to send in their special memories associated with the Live Forever hitmakers' songs for potential inclusion in the film. A post on the website read: "Now, in the year of Oasis' sell out reunion tour, Magna Studios and Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, A Thousand Blows) - in association with Oasis - are making a film exploring how this band's music has become so important to so many. "We are asking people all over the world if there is a particular Oasis song that has deep meaning for you. A song that tells the story of a life changing moment, a love, a loss, a heartbreak, or a break for freedom. "Whatever the Oasis song, whatever the story – tell us…" Oasis' UK and Ireland shows - their first in 16 years - will kick off in Cardiff on July 4 and see them joined by special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast. The Supersonic band will also play USA, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil. Meanwhile, frontman Liam Gallagher recently dismissed fan concerns over his vocal health ahead of the long-awaited reunion tour. The 52-year-old frontman - who has Hashimoto's disease, which can cause a hoarse voice - sparked a frenzy online after posting about taking throat lozenges, sour candies and cough syrup, prompting speculation from fans that his voice might not hold up during his and older brother Noel's upcoming stadium comeback shows this summer. One fan messaged him on X after his admission: "@liamgallagher If you need that many throat stuff does that mean anytime your voice can still go? We don't want cancellations." Liam replied: "Shut up you melt." Another user asked the singer: "@liamgallagher Did you eat all your sour throat candies yesterday?" – to which Liam responded: "@adele_liam I did 2 pacs." The Oasis reunion marks the first time the band have performed together since 2009, when they split after a backstage altercation between the siblings at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events of the decade. Rehearsals kicked off in London, with Liam joining his bandmates — including his brother Noel, 58 — for rehearsals this week.
