Everything banned from Oasis Dublin gigs including the humble ham sandwich
If you were lucky enough to snag a ticket to see Oasis in Dublin this weekend, get ready for a truly unforgettable experience. The sun is expected to shine on concertgoers, setting the perfect scene for the Gallagher brothers to unleash a set packed with their greatest hits and fan favourites. This tour marks Noel and Liam Gallagher's first live performances together in over 16 years, following a famously bitter public feud that saw the band break up in 2009 and left millions of fans heartbroken. But now, the iconic Britpop band are back and stronger than ever, with tickets for their Croke Park shows this Saturday and Sunday selling out in less than a day. The excitement in Dublin is already palpable as Oasis prepares to perform to a combined 160,000 fans over two nights - their first Irish gig since 2008. After finally putting their differences aside last year, the brothers announced their highly anticipated reunion tour. With legendary anthems like 'Wonderwall', 'Don't Look Back in Anger' and 'Champagne Supernova' almost guaranteed to echo around GAA HQ, fans can expect a show that blends nostalgia, spectacle and the unmistakable energy that only Oasis can deliver. But before attendees grab their bucket hats and parkas and head for the turnstiles, there's one thing they'll want to check - the long and frankly bizarre list of banned items. From lightsabers to reflective jackets, Chinese lanterns and iPads, the list of what can't be brought into Croke Park is surprisingly long and surprisingly strict. Even ham sandwiches from home are off limits. So is any kind of food - except where otherwise stated - along with air horns, flagpoles, selfie sticks and more. Anyone turning up with a pram, a camera with a detachable lens or even a fold-up chair will be stopped at the gates, as organisers MCD crack down with strict entry rules. While food, alcohol and cans aren't allowed in, fans won't go hungry or thirsty. Organisers have confirmed a variety of options will be available inside, along with free water points. Oasis Dublin banned items - full list Aerosols Air Horns Alcohol Animals (other than registered guide or hearing dogs) Any item which may reasonably be considered for use as a weapon Audio recorders Backpacks Bikes (including e-bikes) Bottle caps Buggies Cans Cameras with a detachable lens or recording equipment Camping Equipment Carts Chains (of any kind) Chairs (excluding wheelchairs) Chinese or Sky lanterns Cigarettes (in excessive quantities) Deck chairs Drones Excessive quantities of anything, where there may be presumed intent to sell Folding chairs Food (except where otherwise stated) Fireworks Flag Poles Flares Glass / Glass containers Go Pro cameras Hard plastic reusable bottles Hi-viz of any kind Illegal substances iPads Knee-scooters Laser pens or laser pointers Lightsabers Megaphones Metal reusable bottles Nitrous Oxide Prams Professional/Semi-professional cameras, STILL OR DIGITAL Recording equipment, SOUND or VIDEO Scooters (including e-scooters) Selfie sticks Shooting sticks Signs or flags bigger than A3 size Smoke Canisters Sound systems Spray cans Tridents Umbrellas Unofficial tabards or reflective jackets Wagons Weapons Strict security checks will be in place for everyone attending the Oasis concerts at Croke Park. All patrons will be subject to searches as allowed by law, both at entry and potentially inside the venue, to ensure the safety of all attendees. Separately, fans are strongly advised to avoid bringing large bags or backpacks, as these could cause delays or even result in refusal of entry. Bags larger than A4 size are strictly prohibited. There will be no storage facilities available on site, and any items left at entrances or in the surrounding area will be removed and disposed of.

Oasis reunion tour set to worsen UK inflation woes
The Oasis comeback tour looks set to add to a resurgence of inflation in the United Kingdom, complicating an already tricky situation that has divided the Bank of England. The Britpop band's sell-out concerts this month could lift headline inflation by as much as four basis points if they coincide with the Office for National Statistics' data collection dates, according to economists. A jump in the consumer prices index would be unwelcome ahead of a crucial autumn for the BOE as it decides whether it can carry on cutting interest rates even as prices spike. The situation echoes Taylor Swift's UK tour last year when some commentators argued that it helped to fuel services inflation, primarily by pushing up hotel prices. However, any effect will be temporary and contained to July and August's data as the tour moves on to North America in September before returning to London long after possible data collection dates. The Oasis reunion caused a rush to see the most successful band of the 1990s Britpop era with fans paying hundreds of pounds for tickets, while songs such as Live Forever, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger re-entered the UK singles chart. The Gallagher brothers Noel and Liam — known for their feuding — last performed together in 2009. The effect from today's Edinburgh gig may be amplified by it coinciding with the Fringe festival that takes over the Scottish capital throughout the month. TD Securities said headline inflation will be lifted by four basis points at most with its data showing hotel prices booked one day in advance of the Aug 8 concert were 65% higher year-on-year for three-star hotels and up 50% for four-star stays. Capital Economics also pointed to a possible effect from one of the band's Manchester concerts in July that happened the day after a possible collection date. It said there is 'perhaps a greater chance of an effect with the Oasis concerts' than with Swift's tour. 'The Bank will be able to have a go at quantifying it and ignore it as a one-off price effect that won't be repeated,' said Paul Dales, chief UK economist at Capital Economics. 'At the margin, though, it could give some more ammunition to those on the MPC who want to cut interest rates more slowly because they are worried about inflation being too high for too long. If in doubt, they may want to sit on the sidelines.' While the BOE's policymakers cut interest rates last week by a quarter point, officials are becoming more wary over price pressures. They are particularly concerned about whether it causes second-round effects as workers try to make up lost income. On Tuesday, the ONS said private-sector wage growth excluding bonuses eased slightly to 4.8% in June, from 4.9%. The central bank now expects inflation to peak at 4% in September, driven by a stronger-than-expected surge in food bills. James Rossiter, head of global macro strategy at TD Securities, said the Oasis concerts and Fringe festival 'put immense upward pressure on hotel prices in Edinburgh.' 'It's important to note that Edinburgh has a small weight in the hotel CPI index,' Rossiter said. 'At a stretch, if prices remain where they are, this could temporarily boost UK headline inflation by about 3-4 basis points in August.' The ONS has tweaked how it collects hotel prices after recent volatility caused by surges in demand. Instead of relying on quotes on a single day, it now takes price readings at different times during the month. Barclays estimates that fans expect to spend more than £1 billion (44 billion baht) attending the Oasis tour — an average of £766 per person. However, economists believe that such events are unlikely to be a major boost for the economy as gig-goers merely offset the extra spending elsewhere.
