Oasis last played in Cardiff in June 2009, just months before Noel quit the Manchester rock group, saying he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer". Reunion rumours intensified recently amid reports that the feuding brothers had ended their disagreement. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2wOhbS_0vBBTzWq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2wOhbS_0vBBTzWq00" width="868" height="488" > Getty Images <figcaption>Oasis will begin their long-awaited reunion tour with two dates at Cardiff's Principality Stadium </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> "Oasis are back! and it kicks off here!

"Following recent shows by Taylor Swift, Foo Fighters, Beyoncé and a whole host of other big names, some might say that Cardiff is fast becoming a 'must play' destination for the world's biggest music stars," said the leader of Cardiff council, Huw Thomas. "These huge gigs put Cardiff firmly on the map and draw visitors from across the world." The Welsh government said Oasis would join "a long list of world-renowned artists who have chosen to play in our capital in recent years". <h2> When will Oasis tickets go on sale? </h2><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cvgekk78n9zt?post=asset%3A62fab54d-4eab-4909-9c32-a01619013584&amp;xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bnewsbreak.com%5D-%5Blink%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D#post" rel="nofollow"> Tickets for all of the band's UK dates </a> , including Cardiff, go on sale on Saturday 31 August at 09:00 BST. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> The Principality Stadium has a sell-out capacity of around 67,000.

Their manager Marcus Russell is from Ebbw Vale in Blaenau Gwent, and their first visit to a recording studio as a signed band was to Monnow Valley Studio in Monmouthshire, where they recorded nine of the 11 tracks from their debut album Definitely Maybe. The Oasis management at the time felt the tracks lacked the raw intensity of their live sets, so the recordings were binned and redone before Definitely Maybe went on to become the UK's then fastest-selling debut album of all time.

In an attempt to save the Definitely Maybe sessions, Oasis' manager asked a Welsh producer called Owen Morris to have a go at capturing the essence of the band without even meeting them. Morris transformed songs like Live Forever, Cigarettes &amp; Alcohol and Supersonic into generation-defining anthems that helped make Oasis one of the biggest British bands of all time. Morris went on to become Oasis' producer for the their next three records - and his first proper session with Oasis in the studio was to record their first number one single Some Might Say at the old Loco Studios, just outside Newport in south Wales, before its release in April 1995. <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54325664?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bnewsbreak.com%5D-%5Blink%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D" rel="nofollow"> Oasis classics from their second album </a> (What's The Story) Morning Glory - like Wonderwall and Don't Look back in Anger - were also recorded in Monmouth, but at <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-53375171?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bnewsbreak.com%5D-%5Blink%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D" rel="nofollow"> Rockfield Studios where Queen had recorded Bohemian Rhapsody </a> . <ul><li><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cvgekk78n9zt?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bnewsbreak.com%5D-%5Blink%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D" rel="nofollow"> Oasis reunite after 15 years to announce 2025 world tour </a></li><li><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg1ljn80geo?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bnewsbreak.com%5D-%5Blink%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D" rel="nofollow"> Everything you need to know about the Oasis reunion </a></li><li><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c134n75xm17o?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bnewsbreak.com%5D-%5Blink%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D" rel="nofollow"> Oasis to release lost recordings amid reunion rumours </a></li><li><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce80nm88kjpo?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Bnewsbreak.com%5D-%5Blink%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D" rel="nofollow"> Gallagher brothers tease Oasis reunion </a></li></ul></div></body>
