Oasis fans have reportedly buried drugs in a park where the band are performing in ten month's time.

The legendary band kick off the Oasis Live '25 tour with a couple of nights in Cardiff before five hometown shows in Heaton Park on July 12, 16, 19 and 20.

It is in Heaton Park, a 600 acre space in the north of the city, that drug users have reportedly buried their loot ahead of the shows. Addicts have told an addiction clinic that they have done so, and the Providence Project have warned organisers.

The North American leg of the tour was announced on Monday after Liam and Noel Gallagher had teased a huge announcement was on the way at the weekend.

It sees five new dates added to the already announced UK and Ireland shows that will kick off the band's reunion tour in 2025. The band has also confirmed today that plans are underway for the Oasis Live 25 tour to go to other continents outside of Europe and North America later next year.

The news comes 16 years since their last performance in North America. And the brothers gave a typically bullish comment today about their return.

They said in a quote attributed to Oasis: "America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.
