Oasis and Wembley Stadium go way back. The iconic football stadium in northwest London is, for many, the pinnacle of an artist's career. Everyone from Taylor Swift to Michael Jackson have dominated the 90,000-capacity ground. Come late August, Coldplay will hold the record with 16 sold-out shows.

Fans without tickets to see Oasis at Wembley Stadium this weekend have been warned they’ll be “moved on” if they attempt to gather outside the venue. The message from stadium officials comes ahead of the Britpop legends' long-awaited return to the capital, as part of their first official tour since 2009.

I was slightly hoping, from a purely critical point of view, that the eighth concert of Oasis’s much-hyped reunion tour – and their first of seven shows at London’s Wembley Stadium – might somehow deviate from the raucous joy-filled carnival of the first seven.
