Oasis fans were ecstatic at the announcement that Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher are reuniting and performing together in their Oasis Live '25 tour. They will kick off the tour in Cardiff at the Principality Stadium on Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5.
With thousands of people descending on Cardiff that weekend, the city centre is expected to be very busy. Many will be getting public transport to and from the stadium, and Cardiff Bus, which operates many of the buses in the capital, has issued a statement.
‌
During the busy period around the gigs, Cardiff Bus have confirmed they will be adding extra capacity in the evening and have buses on standby to serve the thousands heading home after the gig.
‌
Cardiff Bus said: "Our friendly team of supervisors will be in the city centre to assist customers and support our colleagues."
"Due to road closures, buses will turn around at the edge of the city centre, so we recommend checking the Cardiff Bus website and app for the latest updates closer to the time.
"To provide extra capacity in the evening, our largest double-decker buses will remain in service later in the day.

"We'll also have additional standby buses ready to help manage busy journeys."
South Wales Police have also issued a statement for the Oasis gigs.
‌
The force said it's "accustomed to policing a wide range of major events" and its priority will be to "maintain a visible and reassuring presence in and around the city and to provide the response the public would expect."
They said: "South Wales Police is accustomed to policing a wide range of major events, especially in Cardiff, these range from international rugby and football matches, the Champions League Final, and large-scale music performances such as the recent Taylor Swift concert.
"We have a good working relationship with our partners to ensure those attending have a safe and enjoyable experience.
‌
"As always, our priority will be to maintain a visible and reassuring presence in and around the city and to provide the response the public would expect in order to keep them safe." You can read more, here.
