Oasis reviews for first Wembley gigs say there were 'enough tears to end water shortage'
Oasis have almost finished their circuit around the UK, but this past weekend was particularly special. Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher buried the hatchet last month, and now they've started their seven-date stint at London's Wembley Stadium.
With 90,000 people screaming "Don't Look Back In Anger" at Oasis, it seemed as if the feud was 100 years ago. And reviews from critics and fans alike have already deemed the band's show as some of the best live performances in years.
Metro's Brooke Ivey Johnson said she was "in tears" after the performance. They wrote: "On Friday night, I brushed up against it and realised it's not that Oasis' deep entanglement with British culture holds them back from being one of the world's greatest rock bands – it's precisely what makes them so special."
The Telegraph's James Hall agreed: "Here's a way to end the current water shortage. Attach a water butt to Wembley and catch 90,000 people's tears. When Noel sang Don't Look Back in Anger, and Liam, Wonderwall, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Extraordinary scenes."
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.

Likewise, NME scoured the opinions of fans at the event. Some fought cancer, won, and celebrated by seeing Liam and Noel perform live.
Others brought their newly-born children, and lifelong friends. One was quoted as saying it was the "best night of their entire life".
For fans who have not yet managed to buy tickets for the upcoming shows in London - and indeed the leftover gigs at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium - there is still hope.
We've got all the information fans need on how to get involved now. Here's the details:
How to buy Oasis tickets now

Brother of Noel and Liam Gallagher charged with rape and other offences
The older brother of Oasis's Noel and Liam Gallagher has been charged with rape and other sexual offences, Scotland Yard has said. Paul Gallagher, 59, has been charged with rape, coercive and controlling behaviour, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat to kill and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, the Metropolitan police said. Gallagher, of East Finchley, will appear before Westminster magistrates court on 27 August. Scotland Yard said in a statement that the offences were reported to have taken place between 2022 and 2024 and that the charges follow an investigation that began last year. 'A woman is being supported by specially trained officers,' the force said. Gallagher's solicitors said their client had 'consistently engaged with the police throughout their investigation' and 'always strongly denied the allegations made against him', adding 'he looks forward to clearing his name'. The charges emerge as Liam and Noel Gallagher continue their Oasis reunion tour – their first live shows together in the UK since 2009. Announced in 2024, the tour started in Cardiff last month before moving on to Manchester and London, with more shows in London, Edinburgh and Dublin to come, as well as further dates overseas. Paul Gallagher grew up with his siblings in Burnage, Manchester, but has never been involved with the band. He released a book in 1997 entitled Brothers: From Childhood to Oasis, in which he described growing up with Liam and Noel Gallagher, renowned for their acrimonious relationship. He has also worked as a DJ and photographer.

The Fathers by John Niven review – class satire with grit
They're an unlikely duo. Jada is a petty criminal who lives hand to mouth in a cramped 60s tower block and can't remember how many children he has. Dan is a TV producer with a Tesla outside his mansion and who – after five years of trying and six rounds of IVF – is about to meet his first child. The pair encounter each other outside the sliding doors of Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University hospital, where Dan takes sips of cold air while he comes to terms with the wonder and terror of first-time parenthood and Jada sneaks a quick fag. Dan examines Jada's vigilant eyes and seasonally inappropriate sportswear; Jada clocks Dan's Rolex and works out how quickly he could take him in a fight. They bump into each other again in the lift a few days later, laying the seeds for a relationship that will reveal what divides them and what they share, building to a climax of kinship and betrayal. Since leaving his job as an A&R manager in 2002, John Niven has written novels and screenplays that mix industry satire (pop, publishing, film) with sometimes eye-popping hedonism; presumably both will feature in his next project, a 2026 play about Blur and Oasis called The Battle. Yet while there's a fair bit of hard living in The Fathers, Niven's latest also shows his softer side, as the two fortysomething Glaswegian protagonists manage domesticity. Dan obsessively childproofs his house, buying expensive baby accessories and doing his best to be the perfect dad to Tom, while Jada tries to be more present with his girlfriend Nicola and new son Jayden than he has been for his other children – for which read 'not very'. For all Dan's efforts, the mums take on the greatest share of child rearing, giving the dads space to transform their careers. Dan, bored with his wildly popular TV series McCallister (think Taggart meets Hamish MacBeth), aims to kill off the main character and write a novel. Jada, meanwhile, has a contact at Prestwick airport who can siphon off military surplus meant for Ukraine – a gig he thinks could set him up for life. Classic Scottish literary themes of duality, sentiment and booze are rarely far from the surface, most of them viewed through the prism of class. In the hospital, Dan's wife, Grace, has a private room and a smoothie that 'cost more than wine and tasted like cut grass'. On Nicola's bedside are a pack of cigarettes, a giant Toblerone and a bottle of Irn-Bru. In the months that come, Jayden's sippy cup is filled with the fizzy nectar, while Nicola and Jada enjoy the occasional blow-out with beer from 'PriceBeaster', plus ecstasy and heroin. Down the road, the West End's gentrified stretches do a steady trade in 'macchiatos, pastel de natas and designer knitwear'. There's plenty of inequality, hypocrisy and self-destruction on show, but Niven is also here for the laughs in a book that is sometimes very funny, but also happy to lean into cliche. You yearn to hear from someone who's neither an upper-middle-class twit nor a feckless chancer, or to hear a man articulate his feelings without the spurs of alcohol or desperation. Yet Niven never forgets his characters' humanity, and there's some fine detail on the way, whether comic (brushing a baby's teeth is like trying to 'draw a moustache on a live eel with a felt-tip pen') or poetic (in a brighter moment, Nicola marvels at the city, 'aw golden and peach and the river was dead flat and calm and there wiznae a soul around'). As The Fathers gets going, Niven tightens his narrative like a noose. By a third of the way in, the book is veering between unputdownable and put-it-down-quick-before-something-bad-happens. Jada's airport connection unearths a crate of pistols, which he aims to sell to a Northern Irish terrorist group, while Dan suffers a shocking disaster that flings him out of his herringbone-floored home into Jada's world of dodgy deals, sporadic violence and daytime pints. The result is a comic melodrama that's never dull, and a satire that hits most of its targets. After the darkness Niven lets in, the ending feels a touch glib, but the slow comradeship that grows between the two leads is charming nonetheless. The Fathers is a fine choice for anyone who likes a little grit in their holiday read.

Catherine Zeta-Jones gives rare insight into ‘tearful' moment with kids ahead of Wednesday season 2
The Oscar winner opened up about her family Wednesday star Catherine Zeta-Jones has shared a rare insight into her personal life while making season two of the Netflix hit, reports WalesOnline. The forthcoming season, which will controversially be split in half, sees Pugsley Addams (played by Isaac Ordonez) heading to Nevermore Academy to join his older sister Wednesday (Jenna Ortega), and 55-year-old Oscar winner Zeta-Jones admitted it was an emotional affair both for her character and herself as she drew parallels to her own children. Opening up about shooting the moment, The Chicago and Crash actress said: 'I have a lovely scene with Pugsley where I say, 'Good luck,' as he embarks on his first day. And Morticia sees in him all those nervous things about it being your first day at school, which is always traumatic for the person going to school, and also for the parent. 'But on a personal level, I don't think I ever didn't cry when I dropped off my kids for the first day of school. Each year, it was something, another challenge for them.' Zeta-Jones is married to Hollywood icon Michael Douglas with the couple sharing two children Carys Zeta Douglas, 22, and Dylan Douglas, 24. Watch Wednesday on Netflix for free with Sky from £15 Sky Get the deal here Product Description She went on to say how the scene not only reminded of her seeing her children off to school, but also reminded her of being a maternal older sister to her younger brother Lyndon Jones. The actress explained: 'So it's wonderful. In the writing, you see the dynamic of Wednesday having a sibling at school. 'I remember that, too, in my personal life. I remember my little brother coming to the school. I was a little bit parental.' But the parallels between Zeta-Jones' personal life and Wednesday don't end there after she opened up about the mother-daughter dynamic between Wednesday and Morticia in season two. Zeta-Jones detailed: 'Mother-daughter relationships are varied. Some of them are at loggerheads during certain times in their life. 'Wednesday Addams and Morticia Addams' relationship is beautiful, it's encouraging, it's contentious, it's fraught. It's all those things a mother-daughter relationship goes through, which is a wonderful experience as a mother and not so much as a daughter. I speak from experience.' Adding: 'To be able to play those in Wednesday is something that's very important and something that's very real.' Season two has been split into two parts and sees Wednesday trying to unravel another deadly mystery and face new foes in the twisty corridors of Nevermore. There will be some fresh faces, with the likes of British icon and Absolutely Fabulous' Joanna Lumley joining the cast as Wednesday's Grandmother Hester Frump, Back to the Future and The Addams Family star Christopher Lloyd as Professor Orloff, Westworld 's Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Rachael Fairburn, Hollywood legend Steve Buscemi as Principal Dort, and Doctor Who actress Billie Piper as Isadora Capri. Further new cast members include Devs' star Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nayo as Sheriff Ritchie Santiago, Owen Painter as Slurp, Noah B. Taylor as Bruno, and Evie Templeton as Agnes DeMille.
