An Oasis tributes has landed at a shopping centre in the capital ahead of their world tour which kicks off in the city tomorrow.

The artwork, unveiled on 30 June at St David’s Cardiff, depicts Noel and Liam Gallagher and is made from 3,000 black and white bucket hats.

The tribute - named the ‘Wonder Wall’ - is 16 feet high and more than 20 feet wide.

Capturing Oasis in their full Britpop-era, it was commissioned by the shopping centre and was brought to life by renowned Welsh artist Nathan Wyburn.

The artwork took four days to complete and is on display in the upper level of the centre’s Eastside dining quarter.

Helen Morgan, centre director at St David’s Cardiff, said: “We wanted to celebrate the city being the first place in the world where fans can see the reunion, so we commissioned our unique Wonder Wall portrait to pay homage to Noel and Liam and the upcoming epic international tour.

“Some might say it’s just a load of bucket hats, but we think it’s definitely, maybe, the best use of buckets hats ever.”

The ‘Wonder Wall’ will remain in place until after the Cardiff Oasis gigs during centre hours.

The Oasis reunion tour, Oasis Live ‘25, will take place at Principality stadium on July 4 and 5.
