Police issued warnings in the funniest yet effective way for the upcoming Oasis reunion tour.

As brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher bury the hatchet over their tiff in Paris, which led to the break-up of the Britpop band Oasis, fans from across the world are coming for their reunion tour after 16 years. And as much as this would cause a security risk, South Wales Police have taken matters into their own hands, making use of the group's songs to deliver their security warnings and messages.

"There’s Definitely Maybe a buzz in the air, as the Principality Stadium prepares to host the opening of Oasis’s long-awaited reunion tour tonight," the statement read.
"If you’re one of the lucky ones with tickets to see your heroes, we hope you have a Supersonic night rolling back the years and belting out their classics. We’ll have a variety of teams out working to keep you safe, from our ever-popular mounted section to our neighbourhood and facial recognition teams," it further joked.
"If you see any of us, feel free to come Round Are Way to ask any questions, share any concerns or just to say Hello. As always, there’s one or two asks from us for anyone heading into the city, so Listen Up to ensure a Wonderwall night."

The pun-tastic statement continued,

"Cardiff, well, She (will be) Electric and very busy, so plan your journey in advance and leave extra time for travel. Make sure you’re Part Of The Queue at the stadium in enough time so you’re not left Crying Your Heart Out when you miss part of the set.
"Stick with your mates and look out for one another. If anyone Slide(s) Away from the group, be sure to find them before heading home. Know your limits. Take it Little By Little and don’t let Cigarettes & Alcohol ruin your night."

Adding on the jokes using their songs "Champagne Supernova," "Half The World Away," "Where Did It All Go Wrong,"

"While it might feel like a good idea to get Half The World Away in a Champagne Supernova, possession and/ or supply of drugs is illegal and could leave you questioning Where Did It All Go Wrong?"

And this one with "Better Man," "Don’t Look Back in Anger," "It’s a One Way Road," "(It’s Good) To Be Free," and more hits of Oasis.

"Avoid trouble. If you find yourself in any confrontation, be the Better Man, walk away, Roll With It, and Don’t Look Back in Anger. Post-gig, if you’ve been drinking or taking drugs, don’t even think of getting behind the wheel. It’s a One Way Road to life-changing consequences. (It’s Good) To Be Free, so don’t take a risk that could land you in a cell or worse."

Strict rules for the shows

Besides this, there are numerous regulations in place for the Oasis gigs. No children aged five and under are allowed, while those under 12 must be accompanied by an adult 18+ at all times for seated tickets. According to the Principality Stadium's rules, ground rules strictly forbid smoking in any form, and only small bags of size 35cm x 40cm x 19cm are permitted inside.

The gates will open at 5:00 pm, while Oasis is scheduled to go on at 8:00 pm. Supporting act Richard Ashcroft goes up at 7:00 pm, and there is a strict curfew of 10:30 pm.
