A one-of-a-kind tribute to Oasis will be unveiled at St Davidās Cardiff this month to mark the bandās long-awaited reunion tour.
Paying homage to Oasis kick-starting their iconic tour in Cardiff, the city shopping destination has commissioned a giant monochrome portrait of the Gallagher brothers ā made entirely of bucket hats.
Towering 13 feet and stretching almost 20 feet wide, the unique artwork has been intricately constructed using thousands of
bucket hats depicting Noel and Liam in their full mid-90s glory in a true Champagne Supernova of creativity.
The black and white bucket hat masterpiece will be located on what will be renamed āThe Wonder Wallā at St Davidās, on the upper level of the centreās Eastside dining quarter.
Four days in the making and created by Welsh artist Nathan Wyburn, The Wonder Wall portrait will be unveiled on Saturday 28th June for fans to visit ahead of the tourās opening weekend.
To mark the unveiling, St Davidās will host an all-day pre-gig party featuring a play-to-win 'Supersonic Spinnerā with Gallagher-grade giveaways all set to Britpop anthems.
Helen Morgan, Centre Director at St Davidās Cardiff, commented: āWeāre excited to be a part of the city where the Oasis ā25 Reunion Tour officially begins. If kickstarting the tour in Cardiff isnāt a seal of approval, we donāt know what is.
āTo show our appreciation, weāre unveiling The Wonder Wall with what we hope will be an iconic bucket-hat portrait of Noel and Liam. Some might say itās just a load of bucket hats, but we think itās definitely, maybe, the best use of buckets hats ever.ā
Visit St Davidās Cardiff for the unveiling of The Wonder Wall, play-to-win Supersonic Spinner and pre-gig warm up tunes on Saturday, 28th June, from (11am-6pm).
The Wonder Wall will remain in place until after the Cardiff Oasis gigs for visitors.
