LIDL Ireland are set to release limited-edition Oasis inspired jacket’s – just in time for the bands reunion gigs.
The budget supermarket is releasing a brand new “Lidl by Lidl” jacket this week.

It costs just €35 and comes with drink cooling pockets, a bottle opener zip and branding that looks like it fell out of Liam Gallagher’s wardrobe.
Oasis are playing two sold-out shows in Dublin’s Croke Park on August 16 and 17 marking one of the biggest reunions in years.
It’s the first time in over a decade that fans will see the Gallagher brothers back on stage together and demand for tickets has been massive.
The jacket drop comes after fans joked last year that Liam’s Berghaus jacket looked suspiciously like a Lidl collab.
Social media flooded with people asking where they could get a “Lidl by Lidl” version and now they can.
The jacket has two insulated pockets for cans, a zip that opens bottles, an embroidered Lidl patch and even a tambourine for good measure.
It goes on sale online at 10am on Wednesday, July 9 at lidlbylidl.com, and Lidl says stock is limited.
All money raised will go to Lidl Ireland’s charity partner, Family Carers Ireland.
Eimear O’Sullivan from Lidl Ireland said the jackets are designed to help fans relive some 90s nostalgia.
She said: “The Croke Park gigs are the most hotly anticipated gigs of the summer and now Oasis fans can relive 90s nostalgia and commemorate a piece of Irish rock and roll history with the limited-edition Lidl by Lidl jacket.
“Not only does it look the part, but it comes with fun features to enhance your live music experience including insulated pockets to keep drinks cool and a handy bottle opener attached to the zip.
“We’re thrilled to launch the ultimate throwback jacket that’s sure to be a hit with both Oasis and Lidl fans.
“We can’t wait to see fans fill Croke Park kitted out in this summer’s must-have merch.”
Fans who want to guarantee a jacket are being encouraged to set a reminder for the online launch as stock is limited and likely to sell out quickly.
And last month, Lidl Ireland launched a “Jepic” new summer festival range with items starting from just €1.49.

THE HISTORY OF LIDL IN IRELAND
LIDL first opened in Germany in 1973.
Back then, it employed just three people, stocking 500 product lines.
The first Irish store, located just off Molesworth Street in Dublin, was opened in 1999.
This was Lidl’s first entry into the Irish grocery market.
Then, Lidl opened more stores in 2000, in Limerick, Letterkenny, Mullingar, Athlone, Cavan, Ballinasloe and Portlaoise.
Now, the retailer has over 180 stores and three distribution centres, employing over 6,000 people.
They work with a network of more than 260 Irish suppliers from the communities they operate in.
