Big Brother RecordingsA large drone display showing the classic Oasis logo appeared above Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on Wednesday night ahead of the band’s heavily anticipated reunion tour.
Illuminated drones were flown in formation to produce the logo against the night sky.
The one-night display has added to the buzz as Liam and Noel Gallagher prepare to kick off their 41-gig reunion tour with two nights at the Welsh stadium on Friday and Saturday.
It has been almost 16 years since Oasis last performed live following their dramatic split in 2009 after a backstage bust-up.
After kicking off with two nights in Cardiff, Oasis will head to Manchester for five nights before moving on to London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
The band will then fly to Toronto, Canada, to begin the international leg of their tour.
The band’s last studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, was released in October 2008 just months before a backstage row at Paris’ Rock en Seine festival.
Oasis split and years of public feuding between Noel and Liam followed, but last August the brothers announced they would be making a comeback.
The display on Thursday night came two days after Noel chose to arrive in the city by train, sparking surprise among his fellow commuters.
