Here they tautologically come, slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball.

Yes, spectacular squabbling siblings Oasis are back after their 15-year huff, ready to go Supersonic all over again.

The much-anticipated tour rocks into Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 4 July, and is set to be the comeback of the year.

And a new generation of stars are stepping up to stadium headliner status. Dua Lipa and Lana Del Rey will sashay into Wembley and Anfield this summer; while K-Pop band Stray Kids have booked two nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Festival bills are getting a long overdue shake-up, too. Spain's Primavera has pulled a blinder, booking three of pop's biggest wavemakers - Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan.

Roan will also headline Reading and leads, while her friend and collaborator Olivia Rodrigo has booked her first headline slot at London's BST festival in Hyde Park, and Fontaines DC have a massive show at London's Finsbury Park in July (the announcement Video is a must see).
