Oasis reunion tour kicks off in Cardiff.

Tens of thousands of Oasis fans have gathered in Cardiff from around the world as the band reunites on stage after 16 years. The 41-date world tour begins with concerts at the Principality Stadium on Friday and Saturday, with fans camping out since Wednesday to secure prime spots.

Among the international fans is 38-year-old Janneth Dueñas from Bogotá, Colombia, who describes seeing the band as a "dream come true." Matt Pope, 32, from San Diego, California, arrived in Cardiff on Thursday to secure a good spot in the queue and expresses gratitude for the impact Oasis has had on his life.

Oasis, formed in 1991, is one of the best-selling bands in British history. Their Cardiff gigs, with a capacity of 74,500, sold out in minutes. The stadium will see Richard Ashcroft and Cast supporting the band during the concerts.

Fans have been queuing since Wednesday evening, with some hoping to get prime spots for Friday's show. Transport for Wales expects over 100,000 fans to travel by train over the weekend, urging people to plan for busy lines.

Journalist Orlando Silva Vargas from Chile, who booked tickets in the middle of the night, is without accommodation due to high prices. He hopes to trade Chilean merkén for a place to stay and is excited about the concert despite traveling alone.

Diana Vesely, 46, from Chicago, is attending the event with her husband and describes it as a historic moment. David Prosser, a superfan from Pontypridd, is thrilled that Oasis chose Cardiff for the opening shows and is taking his 15-year-old daughter, also a massive fan, to the concert.

Local businesses like Donald's Pies and Corner Coffee Co are gearing up for the influx of visitors. An Oasis mural made of bucket hats has been displayed in Cardiff, adding to the excitement surrounding the event. South Wales Police are prepared for the large crowds and aim to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for concert-goers.
