missed

LIAM Gallagher has made a cheeky joke to fans who missed out on Oasis Live ’27 tickets after all 42 dates sold out in three days.

Tickets went on sale on Friday and remained available over the weekend before completely selling out.

Following the news, Liam, 52, took to X this evening to issue a statement as he left a parting joke with their fans.

He said: “That’s all folks, we have officially sold out. No more tickets left.

“Congratulations to everyone who got a ticket and to those who didn’t, sneak in, f**k it, YOLO. LG x.”

Excited fans who managed to luckily get tickets rushed to the comments section as one said: “See you in 2027, Liam!

When Oasis tickets are on sale today: Code and ballot schedule for 2027 dates

SUPERSONIC

Missed the Oasis ballot? Here’s how fans are still bagging 2027 tour tickets

“I’ll be travelling just to see you guys! Best wishes from Costa Rica!”

Another person commented: “See you at Knebworth! Let’s have it!”

However, some unlucky fans weren’t able to get their hands on tickets as one fumed: “I was manifesting it so much, I’m upset.”

While a second moaned: “Liam I’m so sad, I was born and raised on Oasis and I didn’t get a code. I hope I can see you one day.”

Pre-registered fans were randomly selected to receive a unique code for nine onsale windows running from Friday to Sunday.

This registration process was the only way members of the general public could buy tickets.

Since the tickets have sold out, fans have been issued with a warning to remain vigilant and avoid scams on social media.

Resale tickets will only be available to purchase via the Ticketmaster and Twickets websites, for the prices originally paid, nearer to the tour dates.

Earlier today, Liam and Noel, 59, issued the stark warning to desperate fans considering buying from sites selling tickets to their gigs at inflated prices.

The statement on the Oasis social media pages said: “All codes have now been sent out, with the final sale windows happening today.

“Please avoid scams involving social media accounts selling codes or tickets. These will be fake or invalid.

“Tickets currently on secondary websites are liable to be cancelled.

“Resale tickets will be available nearer the events and will only be available, at the price originally paid, through Ticketmaster and Twickets.” 

Brothers Noel and Liam will kick off their 2027 mega world tour with performances at the Parkhead stadium on May 21, 23, 25, 28 and 29.

Butlin’s is known for its redcoats and fun-filled entertainment but it is the first time that I have visited the holiday site for a themed weekend

If you grew up in the 1990s, there’s something rather special about spending a weekend surrounded by the music, fashion and nostalgia of the decade. That’s exactly what I found at Butlin’s 90s Weekend in Bognor Regis — a fun-filled break that brought back plenty of memories, while offering all the comforts of a modern resort.

We stayed at the Ocean Hotel, which was one of the highlights of the weekend. Our room was comfortable, modern and, best of all, came with views overlooking the sea. Waking up to that view certainly made getting out of bed a little easier, and the hotel provided a relaxing base between all the entertainment and activities.

Our stay also included Premium Dining, with breakfast and dinner included. There was a good variety across the weekend, including Mexican food on Saturday and Indian food on Friday, while Sunday brought the ultimate comfort food in the form of a traditional roast dinner.

Breakfast was very much what you would hope for from a hotel buffet, with a full English, pastries and the usual selection of cereals, fruit and other breakfast favourites. There was plenty of choice, so nobody was going to leave the restaurant hungry.

One of the highlights was Saturday morning’s bottomless brunch, which gave us two hours of food and drinks. It was a great way to start the day and fitted perfectly with the party atmosphere of the weekend.

The entertainment was, of course, a huge part of the experience. On Friday evening, we watched a Madness tribute act, which had the crowd up and enjoying plenty of classic hits.

Saturday night brought a Take That tribute act, providing another dose of 90s nostalgia and plenty of singalong moments.

One part of the weekend that we noticed was a pop up celebrating friendship. Dubbed the UK’s very first Celebrant of Friendship, it saw friends get together in a series of marriage-style vows to turn “we should catch up” into “we do”.

There were a number of ‘Frien-do’ ceremonies in a Chapel of Friendship that we witnessed at the Big Weekenders with many people celebrating and happy to pose for a photo.

I even joined in at one stage holding a plaque that “we do” with two of my friends on the weekend away.

One thing I did miss was the silent disco, which saw people making their way around the resort.

From what I could see, it looked like one of the most entertaining activities of the weekend, with plenty of people getting involved. It was probably the one thing I wished I had made time for.

There was also something wonderfully nostalgic about simply being at Butlin’s for a 90s-themed weekend.

Between the music, entertainment, food and atmosphere, it felt like a chance to switch off from everyday life and have a bit of fun.

For me, the Ocean Hotel room and sea view were another major highlight, giving the weekend a comfortable and relaxing element alongside all the lively entertainment.

Overall, Butlin’s 90s Weekend delivered exactly what I was hoping for: nostalgia, entertainment, plenty of food and a great excuse to relive some of the best music of the decade.

Whether you’re a committed 90s fan or simply looking for a fun weekend away, it’s an experience that’s difficult not to enjoy.

Even Dodgers catcher Will Smith, who’d never be accused of wearing his emotions on his sleeve, was a little worried during his monthslong absence because of a persistent neck injury that he might not be healthy by the end of the season.

“‘It was kind of the ‘who knows how long it’s going to take,’” Smith said when the Dodgers activated him at the beginning of the month. “But at some point I was going to be fed up and just kind of deal with it.”

It apparently didn’t come to that. And in the Dodgers’ 3-2 win against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday, Smith’s fifth time in the lineup since returning from the injured list, he put the Dodgers ahead with a first-inning home run and guided Dodgers left-handed starter Tarik Skubal through 7 ⅓ innings of two-run ball.

“He called a great game,” Skubal said of his Team USA teammate. “And the targets that he sets up, and the way that he goes about it, he gives me a ton of confidence back there.”

A neck problem that was initially expected to resolve on its own in a few days turned into a nearly three-month IL stint. With the revolving door behind the plate in Smith’s absence, getting him back down the stretch and into the postseason was going to be key.

While Smith was on the IL, backup catcher Dalton Rushing was thrown into the starting role, learning how to balance the defensive responsibility of serving as the main backstop at the major-league level with a desire to also contribute offensively.

Rushing seemed to be getting the hang of it, with Chuckie Robinson and then Eliézer Alfonzo behind him, before he hurt his right elbow right before the trade deadline. The Dodgers traded for an entirely new catching duo, Hunter Feduccia and Ben Rortvedt, who held down the position until Smith’s return.

“It was frustrating early,” Smith said. “Just looking for answers why it was taking longer, but we finally got those answers. And then it was kind of a pretty straightforward process from there. So last month or two hasn’t been too bad.”

Smith and the Dodgers sought multiple doctors’ opinions. He was eventually diagnosed with an annular tear and given two possible recovery timelines. Though they proceeded with hope for the earlier return, the longer one came to fruition.

Now, the Dodgers are carrying three catchers, trying not to overwork Smith in his first weeks back. He’ll be out of the lineup Wednesday and play two of three games in Miami, manager Dave Roberts said.

With Rushing back on the IL for the same elbow injury, Feduccia can also serve as a left-handed bat off the bench, and Alfonzo gives the team more substitution flexibility.

Entering Tuesday, Smith had already thrown out three baserunners attempting to steal in his first week back in action. But despite some hard contact, hits weren’t falling for him. He went two for 17 with a single and a double in the same time period.

“Will is just very consistent, dependable,” Roberts said. “I know he’s taking really good at-bats. Hitting some balls to the warning track.”

On Tuesday, batting third in the lineup against Reds left-handed starting pitcher Nick Lodolo, he showcased the kind of influence he can make on both sides of the ball.

In Smith’s first at-bat, he battled for nine pitches, finally lifting a changeup over the left field wall.

“That was really good to see,” Roberts said. “With Will, it’s just great having him in there because you know you can count on the at-bat quality, and obviously having him behind the plate has been good.”

The next inning the Dodgers (88-57) doubled their score when Tommy Edman — hitting in the leadoff spot in place of Shohei Ohtani (right biceps and left knee), who was out of the lineup Tuesday as the Dodgers ease him back from a four-day absence over the weekend — was hit in the leg by a pitch with the bases loaded.

The Reds then tied the score in the third, as Elly De La Cruz launched a two-run homer off Skubal. But the Dodgers pulled ahead again two innings later, courtesy of the red-hot bat Teoscar Hernández has been swinging in September.

Hernández avenged his ill-fated inside-the-park home run attempt — he was thrown out at the plate on an aggressive send two innings earlier — with a well-struck RBI single.

Skubal wrapped up his deepest start of his Dodgers tenure to a standing ovation. He’d limited the Reds to just four hits, while recording five strikeouts in an efficient performance.

Flame-throwing reliever Edgardo Henriquez replaced Skubal, tasked with recording the last two outs of the eighth. He did so with the help of an ABS challenge from Smith that secured an inning-ending strikeout.

Lefty Tanner Scott earned the save, retiring three straight batters after a leadoff walk, and the Dodgers extended their winning streak to six games.

“It’s the last stretch,” Smith said at the beginning of the month. “We’re fighting for seeding as well. So yeah, it’s definitely time to step on the gas.”
