**Oasis Logo Transforms Cardiff Skyline in Dazzling Drone Light Display Ahead of Reunion Shows**
The Cardiff night sky was dramatically transformed late on Wednesday as an awe-inspiring light show illuminated the area surrounding the Principality Stadium. The iconic Oasis logo, recreated with swarms of synchronised drones, hovered above the city as fans and onlookers looked on in wonder. This unique display comes in the lead-up to what is widely-anticipated as one of the most significant reunions in British rock history: Oasis’ return to the stage, with gigs scheduled for Friday, 4th July and Saturday, 5th July.
A hush of anticipation had already settled over the Welsh capital in recent days, with both residents and visitors reporting an electric atmosphere. The light show, lasting from 11pm until midnight, marked the official beginning of the ‘Oasis Live ’25’ tour, with Cardiff lucky enough to be the first destination. The spectacle was a one-off event—organisers confirmed it will not be repeated at other tour locations—making it an exclusive treat for those present on the night.
The drones, numbering in the hundreds, manoeuvred across the skyline to form the unmistakable Oasis logo, before dispersing and returning to their base at nearby Cardiff Arms Park. This innovative blend of technology and nostalgia thrilled viewers, some of whom captured the moment on their phones, sharing images across social media to widespread excitement.
Oasis fans have been vocal online and on the streets, their excitement fuelled not only by the coming shows but also by the rare onstage reunion of Noel and Liam Gallagher. The brothers, whose tempestuous relationship led to the band’s split over a decade ago, have not performed together since then. Their reappearance side by side has reignited speculation on the future of the band, as well as discussions of classic rivalry.
The build-up to the concerts has been further enhanced by Oasis-themed offerings around Cardiff city centre. Special edition merchandise is on sale both at temporary stalls outside the stadium and a dedicated pop-up shop in St David’s shopping centre. Many expect these exclusive items to become coveted collector’s pieces for devoted fans.
Curiosity engines have been buzzing since earlier in the week. On Monday, passers-by were treated to the sounds of “Cigarettes & Alcohol” reverberating from inside the Principality Stadium, which led to fevered online debates as to whether the Gallagher brothers were back together inside—albeit briefly, for a soundcheck. Liam Gallagher, never shy to comment, poured cold water on such rumours through his social media, cheekily joking that he was otherwise engaged and that any vocals heard were likely from a different source.
Despite tickets selling out rapidly earlier in the year, demand for seats at this reunion remains sky-high. While all official outlets reported full capacity within hours of tickets going on sale, fans still holding out hope may find limited availability on authorised resale platforms such as Ticketmaster’s resale section. Other third-party sites are also providing tickets, though concertgoers are advised to exercise caution and adhere to the guidance of major ticketing services.
This weekend promises to be pivotal not only for Oasis fans but also for the wider music community, with extensive media coverage and fan-generated content anticipated. The city’s businesses are preparing for a bumper weekend as thousands descend upon Cardiff, eager to witness the band’s historic return.
As the countdown continues to the first chord, anticipation is mounting both in the city and among the devoted fanbase worldwide. The lights may have faded from Wednesday night’s display, but for many in Cardiff, the afterglow of hope, nostalgia and new memories is sure to illuminate the weekend ahead.
