For stadium info, including seating anf gate plans and banned items, click here. But what about other things fans want to know like set list, band line-up, and if there'll be any special guests?
Read on to find out.
What time will it start
Gates to the Principality Stadium open at 5pm for both gigs.
How long will the show run for?
Curfew at the stadium is at 10.30pm and if they push the gig right up to then, it could see the band on stage for two-and-a-quarter hours.
What will the set list be?
Though unconfirmed, these are the songs Oasis were overheard practicing at the stadium. It's a good balance of Liam leading and Noel leading - and, of course, who can wait to hear them sing together on classics like Stand By Me.
Here's the songs rumoured to be making the setlist

Who's in the band for the comeback?
Gem Archer, Bonehead and Andy Bell, who all previously served in Oasis, will make up the band. Joey Waronker, who performed with Liam Gallagher and John Squire last year, will be on the drums for the tour.
Christian Madden is on keyboards, Jess Greenfield is on backing vocals, Alastair White is on trombone, Steve Hamilton is on saxophone duties, and Joe Auckland will be playing the trumpet. Notably, Greenfield is also part of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
Will there be any special guests coming out?
It's a thing nowadays for huge music acts to show off their famous friends - the latest being Olivia Rodrigo bringing on Robert Smith at Glasto. The Gallaghers aren't ones to follow the trend, or share the limelight.......... but they do like to show off, so who knows..?
We already know the support will come from The Verve talisman Richard Ashcroft and guitar-hero Scousers, Cast.
Richard and Liam duetted on a 2022 re-release of C'mon People (We're Making It Now) and to hear that live would be class.
Liam's also pals and has toured with The Stone Roses' John Squire. While pulling one from the archives, Noel has featured on Chemical Brothers' Setting Suns and Let Forever Be, Goldie's Temper Temper and he's been a frequent session musician with Paul Weller.
Can I still buy tickets?
Yes, tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year.
However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot.
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.
Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly. Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.
The merchandise stand opened at 10am on Wednesday and will remain open until Friday, July 4
