BBC Breakfast's Jon Kay tells viewers to 'leave the country' as Oasis reunite
BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent has issued a warning to viewers ahead of the highly anticipated Oasis reunion tour, which will see Noel and Liam Gallagher take to the stage together in Cardiff on Friday.
BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent alerted viewers of the impending Oasis reunion tour, which promises to be a highly anticipated musical event.
Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher will join forces once more, commencing their tour on July 4 in Cardiff and concluding in November in Brazil.
As part of an exclusive segment, BBC Breakfast provided an insider's look at the legendary Rockfields studio, speaking with those instrumental in the creation of Oasis' second album.
Following a weather update by Carol Kirkwood, Jon Kay transitioned to the topic at hand, stating: "We're going to turn our attention now to the end of the week, aren't we?"
Sally replied: "Yeah, because you suggested that Breakfast might be going a bit rock and roll, I'm not entirely sure that's true but we're going to have a go."
She then added: "This Friday will mark one of the most eagerly anticipated reunions of all time when Oasis return to the stage for the first time in 15 years," reports Bristol Live.

The programme offered an intimate look inside the Monmouthshire studio, courtesy of correspondent Charlotte Gallagher (who Jon confirmed bore no familial ties to Noel and Liam).
The segment also featured Kingsley Ward, co-founder of Rockfield Studios, who, alongside his brother Charles, transformed their family farmhouse into a residential recording studio back in 1963.
He fondly recalled the Gallagher brothers' "little arguments" and how they embodied their rockstar personas.
"I smiled, because I hoped they would [get back together] to be honest," Kingsley commented on the exciting announcement of the band's reunion, also noting that Noel had sorted him out with some tickets for their imminent performances.
An exclusive excerpt from the upcoming YouTube documentary Return to Rockfield was also unveiled, which featured Noel returning to the legendary studios where he wrote Wonderwall, once serenading a field of sheep.

During his visit, Noel reflected on the immense impact of the songs saying: "If I'd have known then what I know now about just what Wonderwall would become or Don't Look Back In Anger, I'd never have finished those songs, I'd still be fiddling around with them."
Sally and Jon, who were hosting the show, gave viewers a heads-up regarding the forthcoming wave of Oasis-related content.
Sally jested about the unavoidable Oasis features expecting fans this season, commenting: "There is no getting away from them this summer."
Adding onto the banter, Jon playfully advised those less keen on Oasis: "If you don't like Oasis, I'd leave the country for the next few weeks."
The anticipation for their reunion has been mounting, and fans received an extra treat when Wales Online journalist Conor Gogarty shared clips of the band practicing across from Cardiff's Principality Stadium at Fitzhamond Embankment.

Capturing the build-up in Cardiff, Conor tweeted about the band's preparations: "Oasis soundcheck in Cardiff just now. @liamgallagher sounding biblical."
Liam jumped into the discussion on platform X, offering his unique viewpoint: "Mmm I'm not sure about the vocals there too aggressive he really needs to take a chill pill man he's just so angry all the time."

Additionally, he wrote: "I don't know who he thinks he is as far as I'm concerned he's just a bigmouth from up north. (sic)".
He then went on to clarify that the clips in question were of live rehearsal audio, not actual live performances – a fact that didn't seem to dampen the excitement for fans.
BBC Breakfast airs weekdays from 6am on BBC One and iPlayer.
