Noel and Liam Gallagher are leading an Oasis lineup with a number of familiar faces, and a couple of new ones, and they're playing a setlist filled with absolute bangers.

The band will play a second show at Cardiff's Principality Stadium tonight (5th July). But with closed roads set to cause chaos, there's still one last mission ahead for fans before they take to the stage.

So, what lies ahead for those lucky enough to have bagged a ticket? Here's everything you need to know ahead of tonight.

Doors to Principality Stadium open at 5pm on both Friday and Saturday.

The first band of the evening, Cast – who will also support them in Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin – will take to the stage from 6pm.

Richard Ashcroft will quickly follow up and will appear from 7pm, before a short break ahead of Oasis's arrival.

Oasis will then perform from 8:15pm to 10:30pm.

Commuting to the venue may prove to be a bit of an issue across this weekend, so please be prepared.

Cardiff Council has confirmed roads around the stadium will be closed from midday to midnight – three hours more than usual – during both days the band are performing to allow traffic control.

The Cardiff Bus Interchange is also set to close at 3pm.

So, you'll more than likely need to take a train – but Cardiff Queen Street station is set to close at 10pm, except for accessibility travel and trips to Cardiff Bay.

Transport for Wales has posted a pun-filled blog detailing what the team have been doing to ensure the commute is "a safe and smooth experience for everyone".

It wrote: "From safety measures to queuing systems, and late-night trains to accessibility support, we’re making sure your experience isn’t just rock ’n’ roll, but also safe, secure, and stress-free."

It has confirmed extra late-night trains on all lines and standby buses on site to support with extra capacity if required, with close coordination between local transport providers.

There will also be a queuing system in place at Cardiff Central station in order to ensure safe travel, with specified zones depending on where you'll be travelling.

Valley Line services will queue at the rear of the station, Cheltenham Spa & Ebbw Vale services will queue on the Fish Jetty train station car park, and mainline service users will be directed to Cardiff Central Square.

Now that tour has begun, the Oasis line-up for 2025 has finally been officially confirmed, putting to bed all the speculation about who would be touring with Noel and Liam.

The official members of the Oasis line-up for this tour are:

  • Liam Gallagher — Lead Vocals
  • Noel Gallagher — Guitar / Vocals
  • Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs — Guitar / Piano
  • Gem Archer — Guitar
  • Andy Bell — Bass Guitar
  • Joey Waronker — Drums

Fans will know that Noel, Liam and Bonehead are founding members of the band, having first played together in 1991 at Oasis's inception.

Gem Archer and Andy Bell first played with Oasis in 1999.

Joe Waronker, on the drums, is new to the lineup for 2025.

The following names have also been listed as 'additional musicians':

  • Christian Madden — Keyboards
  • Jess Greenfield — Backing Vocals
  • Alastair White — Trombone
  • Steve Hamilton — Saxophone
  • Joe Auckland — Trumpet

Fun fact: We believe that this is same Joe Auckland who plays with Taskmaster's Alex Horne in his band, The Horne Section! What an entertainment crossover that is.
