Perhaps miffed that their major tsunami fundraiser back in Jan is likely to be pretty much overlooked in the end-of-year reviews now that the Live 8 shenanigans fill our collective memories (there's only room for one good cause at a time surely), Cardiff's Millennium Stadium have announced a storming end-of-year gig to take place on 10 Dec, though this one isn't in aid of anyone.
To be called Noise and Confusion 05, Oasis are set to headline, with Foo Fighters, Razorlight and The Coral also reportedly on the bill. More names should be added shortly. Tickets go on sale at the end of the week.
A spokesman for the stadium told reporters: "This is already a sensational line-up, and a superb opportunity to stage an annual end of year event in Europe's largest indoor venue."
