told me everything I needed to know about the reunion so far - and I can confirm they sound incredible.
An onlooker who heard the rehearsal told me: 'Oasis have never sounded better.

The brothers will kick off their tour in Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4, with Bonehead, Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Joey Waronker.

Naturally the reunion made

Every show, including those in the

Australia
, all sold out within minutes of going on sale.
But those not lucky enough to get a ticket will be able to get in on the action thanks to a huge concert

I'm already counting down the days until the first night but watching this video has sent me over the edge.

Inside Dua Lipa's jaw-dropping Radical Optimism Tour as pop ‘goddess' wows fans ahead of sell out Wembley shows
DUA LIPA is riding the crest of an enormous wave – and there's no slowing down. After the singer flew me out to Amsterdam as the first British reporter to see her in action on the 80-date Radical Optimism world tour, I'm blown away by how much she's developed as a performer. Advertisement 6 Dua gets a lift on stage during her jaw-dropping performance Credit: Getty In each country so far, including And in Amsterdam she gets a rapturous reception after speaking to the sell-out audience in Dutch — which is no easy task. 'Amsterdam is like a second home for us,' 'We want them to come to the show and have a great time.' Advertisement READ MORE ON DUA LIPA It's impossible not to enjoy the two-hour set, in which New tracks from her latest No1 album, including Training Season, End Of An Era and Falling Forever, go down a storm with the crowd as Dua whips into classics such as One Kiss and Be The One. By playing venues this size — more than 18,000 are at the Amsterdam show — Dua could be forgiven for putting all the focus on to her stage performance. But at every gig she goes into the audience to speak to her fans. Advertisement Most read in Bizarre Breaking One sobbing boy, Mattice, can't believe his luck as Dua leans in for a hug, prompting her to joke: 'Please don't cry, we've only just started the show. It's not that bad is it?' Also among the lucky few are a couple due to marry in the next two days, and a superfan wearing a shark's head in a nod to the Radical Optimism album's artwork — with Dua saying as he takes it off: 'Oh, you're cute.' 'Shaken' Dua Lipa in terrifying security scare after fans sneak into her hotel and are found outside her bedroom Her good humour continues and after losing an impromptu game of truth or dare, she picks the latter and is asked to perform the original dance from One Kiss, which has become pop legend. Smiling for the cameras that beam her picture around the arena, Dua dutifully carries off the move and the crowd, who have been right behind her from day one, go absolutely bananas. Advertisement Back on stage, she then goes into Scared To Be Lonely in a tribute to her collaborator, DJ Martin Garrix, who is also watching in the crowd, before nailing Physical, Hallucinate and Illusion. The arena is transformed into a rave, with the audience hooked on every word, before Dua brings the focus on to her powerful vocals. 'You're cute' She makes light work of Be The One and Anything For Love — which is even more impressive given that she has spent 90 minutes going through physically demanding choreography while barely stopping for a break. The energy then fires back up to boiling point for an insanely good four-song encore of New Rules, Dance The Night, Don't Start Now and Houdini, with Dua's high- intensity just as impressive as at the start of the evening. Advertisement She has concerts in Italy and The four dates will see her perform to more than 250,000 fans. It is an incredible comparison when you think that the first Wembley show will take place 3,000 days after her first ever live appearance in the capital, at the 250- capacity Oslo Hackney venue in East London. By the time Dua has finished the UK leg of the tour — before moving on to the US — she will have performed to almost one million people. Advertisement Rising pop stars should take note . . . Dua is living proof that you can become a superstar thanks to hard work, good grace and a bloody good voice. 6 Dua smashes her way through high-energy dance routines as pyrotechnics explode all around Credit: Getty SABRINA IN SHAWN DIG SABRINA CARPENTER has taken aim at her ex Shawn Mendes yet again in new single Manchild. Advertisement Their 2023 fling inspired much of her chart-topping album Short n' Sweet, but it is still giving her inspiration for songs, as she seemingly lays into the hunk on the track released yesterday. 6 Sabrina Carpenter took aim at her ex Shawn Mendes yet again Credit: Goff She sings: 'Half your brain just ain't there,' before adding: 'Why so sexy if so dumb? And how survive the Earth so long?' It is expected to be the first song from her next album, which is impressive given it has only been ten months since her last one came out. Advertisement When she announced the title, many fans believed it would be about actor Barry Keoghan, who she dated for a year until December. But in a caption on Instagram, she said she wrote the track shortly after completing work on Short n' Sweet, at which time she was still in love with Barry. Sabrina said: 'Not only was it fun to write, but this song became to me something I can look back on, that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life.' In another nod to Shawn, who is very close to his parents – while Barry's mum died when he was 12 – she sings: 'I choose to blame your mom.' Advertisement I doubt Mrs Mendes will be too pleased. MARIAH REVERTS TO TYPE 6 Mariah Carey has released her first track in seven years Credit: Dennis Leupold MARIAH CAREY is teaming up with visual genius Joseph Khan – the man behind her All I Want For Christmas Is You video – for new single Type Dangerous. She is preparing to film a vid to accompany the track, which came out yesterday. Advertisement It is the first she's put out in seven years and is the debut song from her upcoming 16th studio album. 'I'm so excited to finally be releasing Type Dangerous into the world,' Mariah, left, said. 'I've been locked up in the studio for quite some time working my behind off on new music, and I'm thrilled for the unveiling of it to my fans, starting with Type Dangerous.' Those going to Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard will hear her belt out the song at Wembley next Sunday, before she headlines Brighton Pride on August 2 and performs at the Sandringham Estate on August 15. Advertisement Welcome back, Mariah. We've missed you. OASIS ARE ROTTEN FOR JOHN 6 John Lydon won't be going to an Oasis reunion show Credit: Getty SEX PISTOLS rocker John Lydon says he's probably one of the only British music stars who'll be giving the Oasis reunion a wide berth. When I asked if he would be heading down to one of the shows, the singer, aka Johnny Rotten, told me: 'No. They're my mates but I hate their music. Advertisement 'It's very difficult for me to go to other people's gigs. People don't leave me alone and let me enjoy myself. 'I knocked it on the head a few years ago. I love dancing, you're enjoying yourself and some a***hole will stand right in front of you and waffle banal nonsense which is distracting you from the point and purpose.' Speaking to me from his tour of the UK with his band Public Image LTD, he added: 'I love Noel, because he just says it like it is. 'Him and Liam make me laugh when they do interviews because they are so witty and on it in a working class, quick-as-you can way.'

The title has been given to her as she's agreed to perform on the maiden voyage in September, when it will make its debut in Orlando. And Diana will be fresh from her UK tour, which starts this month. Advertisement The Chain Reaction singer said: 'I've always felt a deep connection to the ocean and the magic it represents – peace, adventure and awe. 'When Royal Caribbean reached out to invite me to be the godmother of Star of the Seas, I knew it was something truly special.'

Picture This frontman can't wait to see Oasis live as the Irish band hit the road
Back with a new EP and set to tour Ireland, Picture This star Ryan Hennessy is also bracing himself for the Oasis live experience. He was too young to see his idols the first time around, so Picture This star Ryan Hennessy is bracing himself for the experience of his life when Oasis come to town in August. Back with a new EP and set to tour Ireland, the Picture This frontman tells Magazine+ that he understands his own band's appeal to fans because he's a 'superfan' himself. 'For us it's always just naturally been about the fans, I think because we're such big fans of music ourselves,' Ryan says. 'I love being a fan of things, I'm a huge Man United fan, I'm a huge Oasis fan, I'm super passionate about Leonard Cohen… people like that get me so excited.' Ryan, Jimmy, Owen and Cliff are releasing a new EP News in 90 Seconds - 6th June 2025 'I'm a super fan and I don't find it embarrassing. 'I'm sorted for a ticket for Oasis in Croke Park and it will be a huge moment for me because I've never seen them live. I was just too young to catch them and they mean everything to me and have meant everything to me since I can remember, and have informed so much of my life. 'It's going to be a crazy moment for me to see them on stage. I don't know how I'm going to feel, actually, seeing them. I've seen Liam and Noel separately playing their solo stuff and that alone is just so amazing to see. But the two of them standing on stage together is going to be an incredible moment.' Picture This lead singer Ryan Hennessy on stage at Belsonic I've been interviewing Picture This since the start of their career and have seen them navigate the often shark-infested waters of the music business… and live to tell the tale. Nearly 10 years down the line, frontman Hennessy, Jimmy Rainsford (drums), Owen Cardiff (guitar) and Cliff Dean (bass) are enjoying the self-assurance that comes with experience. 'We're leading an extraordinary life, but we're ordinary people and I used to be afraid of saying that. I think it was maybe an ego thing,' Ryan says. 'I didn't want people to think I was ordinary. I wanted people to think I was extraordinary, but the older I get and the more mature I get I realise that I'm just as ordinary as anybody else. 'I'm just very lucky that I lead an extraordinary life and very, very grateful that that's the case. But I like being grounded and on earth with the boys and not being away with the fairies.' Rainsford acknowledges how their wealth of experience has shaped the band. 'It's true that we're very experienced now, we know what we're doing, we have great trust in our team and our fans and we've never been happier creating music than we are today,' Jimmy says. Picture This 'We're always trying to up the stakes a little bit because that's what the fans expect. That's what I would expect from my favourite band anyway. 'I want to be challenged as a fan. I want to be told what to listen to and like and I want to be inspired.' Picture This have weathered many a storm throughout their career. 'Oh we have!' Jimmy says. 'We've had some big storms, the biggest one being the coronavirus. It was just a terrible time and our career was hanging in the balance. 'But in a way I feel kind of thankful for that happening because it really made us stop and realise what we have and how lucky we are. I probably subconsciously still think about that. 'To weather those storms and come back stronger was really important because this is all we do. We don't have any other hobbies.' Picture This will play all over Ireland this summer, coming to a town and city near you. 'It's that old-school approach,' Ryan says. 'We're from Kildare so we know how it feels to forgotten about or overlooked or passed through while people are on the way to Dublin. 'So instead of people travelling to see us, we're coming to see them in their home area.' Releasing today, their new EP, Let The Light In, which includes Let's Try Love and A Thousand Times, is a set of stripped down songs with their unique storytelling. 'It was just the four of us hanging out and playing songs together and they just ended up coming out in that more acoustic stripped style,' Jimmy reveals. 'There are no bells and whistles… just pure storytelling and pure heart and pure craic between four friends.' THE LOWDOWN: Picture This released their new EP, Let The Light In on Friday.
