Will Oasis Worsen UK Inflation Woes? Definitely Maybe
The Oasis comeback tour looks set to add to a resurgence of inflation in the UK, 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.

‘Great idea' – How genius EFL minnows are looking to make huge profit out of Oasis gig this weekend
EFL club Barnet have been hailed for their genius move as they look to profit from Oasis coming to London. Liam and Noel Gallagher 's comeback tour sees them sell out Wembley Stadium five times from July 25 to August 3. 2 2 Barnet, who earned promotion to League Two after winning the National League title last season, are cashing in from Oasis performing just four miles away. The club play their home matches at The Hive, which is just a five minute stroll up the road from Canons Park tube station. Wembley Park station is just three stops along the Jubilee Line from there. So Barnet are cleverly allowing Oasis fans to park their cars at The Hive for just £10. The Bees joked: "Some Might Say it's the best parking available." They have sneakily bumped up the price given the demand as parking for a match at the ground is usually only £8. Oasis' tour has been popular with footballers amid the likes of Steve Bruce, Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher forming a Manchester United legends gang and going to a gig together. Bruce was seen wearing a bucket hat, while Carrick doubled up as he held onto two pints as they posed with supporters. And they are not the only managers to enjoy the concert this summer after Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola sung along in the crowd with his daughter Maria.

EXCLUSIVE Gene Gallagher makes new girlfriend Nevey Maya the guest of honour on father Liam's Oasis reunion tour
Liam Gallagher 's son Gene has made his new girlfriend the guest of honour on his dad's comeback tour. The 23-year-old was spotted with the blonde 'mystery girl' in March at the Brit Awards. Now MailOnline can reveal she is 20-year-old student Nevey Maya. The pair have spent a summer of love together, travelling to Glastonbury, partying in Ibiza and most recently following the Oasis Live 25 gigs up and down the country. Fans say Gene and Nevey have made them nostalgic because they look just like young versions of Liam and his ex Nicole Appleton of All Saints, who is Gene's mum. The pair couldn't take their hands off each other at Oasis' opening show in Cardiff. An insider told Mailonline: 'They were walking around the VIP area in the President's Lounge at the Principality Stadium looking very loved up. 'It's obvious they adore each other and at times you had to do a double take because they look just like Gene's mum and dad. 'Gene wears shades and has the same swagger as Liam and his girlfriend looks like Nicole. They make a gorgeous couple.' Nevey has documented the couple's travels over the past two months on her Instagram account, most recently kissing while on holiday in Spain. However her choice of music playing over the pictures - Blur's Beetlebum - might not go down well with Gene's dad. Gene is thought to have been single since 2022 when he split with brunette model Amelia, who he'd been dating for two years. Gene recently confided in friends that his indie rock group, Villanelle, will be one of ten warm-up acts taking to the stage for the Oasis tour. An insider said: 'Gene is supporting Oasis. He's been telling a few people and he's really excited. Fans say Gene and Nevey have made them nostalgic because they look just like young versions of Liam and his ex Nicole Appleton of All Saints , who is Gene's mum 'He loves playing with his dad and knows it will be huge for his music career.' Villanelle are yet to be signed, although they will release their first single with an independent label in November. But Gene previously said: 'I want to be the biggest band in the world.' Singing vocals and playing lead guitar for his band, Gene has been the Wonderwall singer's warm-up act on his solo Definitely, Maybe tour this summer. But, in typical style, Liam made his son audition for the gig, telling him: 'Go on, let's see what you're made of because if you're s*** you're not playing.'

Oasis' tour secrets: Sobriety, mystery messages, charitable giving, family heirlooms and low-key riders... everything fans DON'T know about £400m reunion
In recent months, the music and showbusiness worlds have been dominated by the historic reunion of Britpop icons Oasis. Kicking off their £400m comeback tour earlier this month, the formerly warring Gallagher brothers have lit up the stage in the throes of the 41 date show, which kicked off in Cardiff ahead of shows in UK, Ireland, Australia, the US and Mexico. After a year of eager anticipation, fans have been delighted by the shows thus far. Behind the dazzling performances have been a number of off-stage secrets that have kept things running smoothly to avoid Liam and Noel, aged 52 and 58 respectively, starting their feud once again. Unbeknownst to fans, a number of tour secrets have been bubbling in the back - including charitable giving, party planning and a nepo-baby's surprise low-key rider. Additionally, the stage has been home to an uncharacteristically tender moment while family heirlooms have also been spotted behind the scenes. HIDDEN MESSAGES Last week, the group performed a sold-out 80,000 strong crowd in their home city of Manchester for night one of their five sold out shows at Heaton Park. However there was a touching hidden message in the set that perhaps not all fans will have noticed. During the show Liam paid a special tribute to his rescue dog Buttons after his face was projected as part of the light show. Liam rescued the dog from the charity Happy Doggo in Thailand in 2023 and now Thailand dog rescuer Niall Harbison has revealed the full story behind the adoption. Taking to Twitter after the performance in Manchester he penned: 'Most people were probably looking at @liamgallagher and @oasis last night on stage. Look a little closer and you'll spot a dog called Buttons.' Explaining Buttons' story he continued: 'Buttons was a little puppy who walked into our sanctuary in Thailand in the middle of the jungle just as it was getting built. She had been abandoned. She kept coming back daily for food and hoping for company. 'Day after day Buttons came back. I eventually took her in and put her up for adoption. 'Little did I know but Liam and his partner Debbie had been following. After a long process she was adopted to them in the UK. Buttons has grown into a beloved member of the family and landed on her paws.' Last year Liam flew Buttons with his family on a private jet make sure he was able to join the Gallaghers on their summer holiday to France. THE BIG FINALE New reports have revealed that Liam and Noel are 'planning to splash £200,000 on a huge party' following their shows in London. After 16 years, Oasis have finally reunited for 41 shows across Europe, including seven gigs in London, with the first on July 25 and the final one on September 28. And the brothers will reportedly throw the ultimate bash in September to celebrate the completion of the first part of their reunion tour with their celebrity pals. A source told The Sun: 'Liam and Noel are staying away from the booze and parties during the tour to protect their voices. 'They are looking forward to catching up with pals in September following the success of the tour. There will be no expense spared and guests with an invitation can expect to be given the VIP treatment.' EASY RIDER While Liam and Noel's riders are unknown, the former's son Gene has been supporting the band with his group Villanelle. The nepo-baby, 24, is one of many acts to warm up the crowds before the show and while he is in a coveted position, he is certainly no diva. In an interview with The Face with 2024, the singer revealed his down to earth requirements, which include Birds Eye fish fingers and premium lager. Following a small local gig nin Nottingham, he said: 'For these shows, it's usually just beer they give us. But for the Definitely Maybe shows, I'm gonna get some fish finger sandwiches on there. 'I'm craving those. The proper orange, Birds Eye ones – with ketchup. And some premium lagers – Asahi.' HEIRLOOM Gene's rider was not the only newsworthy detail of his appearance on the tour. Liam's son revealed he was wearing a 'family heirloom' on-stage in the form of a Burberry jacket taken from his father's 90s wardrobe. Gene shared an image from backstage in which he posed with brother Lennon, 25, his cousins Anais, 25, Donovan, 17 and Sonny, 14, and Pep Guardiola - before an eagle-eyed superfan spotted the garment. The fan penned: 'Is that ya dad's Maine Road top', in reference to the jacket Liam wore on stage at Oasis' April 1996 gig in Manchester's Maine Road. He responded: 'The exact one. It's a family heirloom.' Another user then wrote: 'If I'm not wrong my mate was the manager and worked in Ath-Leisure (owned by JD Sports) store in the Arndale Manchester and sold this to your dad just before Night 1 Maine Rd…..always wondered if it was kept.' The fan penned: 'Is that ya dad's Maine Road top', in reference to the jacket Liam wore on stage at Oasis' April 1996 gig in Manchester's Maine Road Another user then wrote: 'If I'm not wrong my mate was the manager and worked in Ath-Leisure (owned by JD Sports) store in the Arndale Manchester and sold this to your dad just before Night 1 Maine Rd…..always wondered if it was kept.' CHARITABLE GIVING While there was scandal surrounding the price of tickets, Noel has proved he is willing to give back as he is giving a chunk of the profits to charity. A source said: 'It's no secret that Noel and Liam are both making millions from the reunion tour. But Noel is actually giving some of his cash away... 'He's made it clear a large donation will be heading to Teenage Cancer Trust from his share of the proceeds.' BOOZE FREE In January, it was revealed Liam will be sober throughout the summer months to make sure the reunion gigs all go off without any issues. Liam seems to be taking the comeback very seriously as he has already started getting fit and cutting out alcohol ready to take to the stage for the shows. The singer is planning not to booze during the shows after previously admitting he stopped drinking on stage after his erratic performance with Oasis at Wembley in 2000. This performance is often cited as one of the band's worst as Liam's inebriation affected his singing and stage presence. A source told The Sun: 'Liam's just returned from a boozy holiday and now plans to be in lock-down for the foreseeable to focus on getting fit for the tour. 'He is planning on being sober ahead of and on tour with Oasis. He's actually used cutting out booze to help him prepare and also to get through the shows before.' KEEP YOUR DISTANCE It has been reported that lengths have been taken to ensure the pair remain amiable - by working to keep them separate while not performing. The Gallaghers will reportedly be kept apart when not on stage in a 'military style operation' during their much-anticipated reunion tour. There will be separate dressing rooms and transport to avoid a clash and resulting 'PR and financial nightmare'.
