As Liam, 52, and Noel Gallagher, 58, performed to 80,000 concert-goers in their hometown on Friday night, many more made the musical pilgrimage to experience the gig live and curb the eyewatering prices (ranging up to £350 on the day for last-minute tickets ).

Liam and Noel Gallagher took to the stage hand-in-hand in Manchester as Oasis played their home city for the first time in 16 years in front of a crowd of more than 80,000.

As the sun set over Heaton Park last night, the darkness enveloping the stage, and the final chords of Champagne Supernova rang out across the Papal Field, the night sky suddenly became alive as a stunning firework display closed out night one of Oasis in Manchester.
