Britpop legends Oasis are firmly back in fashion thanks to their hotly anticipated reunion tour this summer.
And ahead of the band’s sold-out dates, frontman Liam Gallagher has headlined a new outdoor festival… although it’s not quite all it seems.
I can reveal that luxury fashion brand Burberry spent a rumoured six-figure sum building a fake event where they could shoot an advertising campaign featuring the Mancunian rocker.
The ‘mini-Glastonbury’, in a Hertfordshire field, features five marquee stages, a campsite, hay bales and billowing flags – and even a bouncy castle.
But although Liam and his brother Noel, 57, have buried the hatchet on their 16-year feud for the comeback tour, the pair will not reunite for the Burberry ad.
Nor will Noel’s photographer daughter Anais, 25, feature, even though she was on the front row of the brand’s catwalk show in February with Liam’s children.
Instead Liam and his family will be joined by other previous Burberry models.
Last week, Liam and Noel were pictured at a working men’s club in North London filming a promotional video for their £50 million tour.
Burberry did not respond to a request for comment last night.

Rosie’s outfit is a sheer delight
She has her own range of lingerie with M&S so maybe it’s little wonder Rosie Huntington-Whiteley doesn’t want to keep her bra under cover.
The model, who is engaged to action hero Jason Statham, embraced the underwear-on-display trend when she attended a Tiffany gala in New York on Friday, alongside other A-listers including actress Anya Taylor-Joy.
Rosie wore the same sheer outfit to Gigi Hadid’s 30th birthday bash later that night.

Too spicy even for Saltburn’s director!
Society jewellery designer Theo Fennell may have lived a rich, glamorous life, but not all his exploits have made it into his second memoir, The Glory Years.
That’s because his daughters – Saltburn director Emerald and fashion designer Coco, censored it.
Explaining their stance, Theo told me: ‘The essence of it was, one: absolutely no sex. That was forbidden by my family.
‘Two, no famous people. And third, nobody must suffer.’

When most of us enjoy a great Airbnb stay, we might leave a positive review online.
Margot Robbie had such a good time in her Notting Hill rental flat that she bought the place.
The 34-year-old Barbie star, is said to have been particularly impressed with the hot tub.
That seems apt given her memorable scene explaining financial complexities from a bubble-filled bath in The Big Short.
The star, married to English producer Tom Ackerley, has spent the last few weeks in the UK filming a new adaptation of Wuthering Heights in the Yorkshire Dales.

A novel take on Megxit…
She was entrusted with interviewing Meghan Markle for Vogue last month and has covered the Royals extensively – now I hear that Michelle Ruiz, is going one step further and writing a novel ‘inspired by the Royal Family saga’.
But who are the heroes and villains in Ruiz’s version of events and how will she portray the Megxit drama?
Can’t wait to read it to find out whether fiction can be stranger than fact.

David Cameron had a choice of delicacies such as devilled eggs and cuttlefish stew when he dined last week at The Blue Stoops, the Kensington restaurant owned by City stalwart Jamie Allsopp.
No such fare for the former prime minister’s security detail, alas – they had to make do with sausage rolls and pork scratchings in the bar.
Jeremy Clarkson stocks only British produce at his Cotswolds pub, The Farmer’s Dog.
But he’s been making his wines seem more French by sticking the word ‘Chateau’ in front of the UK region they come from.
Glass of Chateau Stourbridge, anyone?
