Oasis fans have been arriving early for the first gig of the comback tour - with some even camping out overnight to be first in the queue.

Excitement is mounting as tens of thousands of fans flock to Cardiff for the opening night of the 41-date world tour.

The Principality Stadium gig will be the first time Noel and Liam Gallagher have played together since their infamous bust-up and break-up in 2009.

While gates don't open until 5pm, some fans were so eager to get up close to their idols they have camped in the queue outside since Wednesday.

Among those who camped out overnight last night was Marco di Maro, 41, a BnB owner from Palermo, Sicily.

He said: "It was horrible sleeping in the tent. I was freezing."

"Two days ago I was lying on the beach in Sicily, with a Spritz. Now I'm in Cardiff. "

"But their music stayed with me in the bad period of my life, when my father passed away, when I lost my job. "

"So to see such a historic event, the trouble is nothing. I do not care about my wallet, or anything."

"I'm also a guitarist so I would say Noel is my favourite, but Liam is Liam."

Caroline Schadow, 26, an audio technician from Halle in Germany,

had also joined the queue.

She said: "I'm trying to get Noel to hire me. "

"I brought him a Cherry Ripe chocolate bar because he said it was his favourite on a podcast. But you can only get it from Australia, so I had it imported. "

"To get the tickets, I had to refresh the page for six hours on a work day."

"My supervisor came in and caught me at one point but he just said: ‘What point are you at in the queue?' It turned out everyone in the office was doing it."

"Some of my earliest memories are listening to their music because my brother was a huge fan."
