On April 28th 1996 Oasis played the second of two nights at Maine Road in Manchester support came from the Manic Street Preachers and Ocean Colour Scene.

The Maine Road gigs were the only concerts that Oasis played their cover of Slade's 'Cum On Feel The Noize'.

It was also performed for TV on 'Later With Jools Holland' in November 1995 and on 'Top Of The Pops' in February 1996.

Liam Gallagher speaking in 2017 on playing Maine Road with Oasis.

"To play at the ground of the football club you’ve supported all your life is without doubt the icing on the cake. It’s downhill after that even Knebworth doesn’t come close".

Treat yourself and watch the concert in full below.

On April 27th 1996 Oasis played the first night at Maine Road it was the first time the band had ever headlined a stadium.

An estimated 80,000 people attended the both gigs, support acts for the shows included Manic Street Preachers and Ocean Colour Scene.


Fifty one trucks were used to deliver the equipment to stage Oasis' concerts at Maine Road in April 1996.

A giant shipyard crane was used to safely carry it over the football pitch as the club had a game against Liverpool the following weekend.

Brian Cannon had the idea to have images on the big screen of John Lennon, Sid Vicious and more during 'Live Forever' at Oasis' Maine Road concerts.

He told the NME “Even Liam didn’t know it was going to happen, that’s why he looks amazed when he turns round and sees Lennon.”

"To play at the ground of the football club you’ve supported all your life is without doubt the icing on the cake. It’s downhill after that even Knebworth doesn’t come close".

Liam Gallagher on the Umbro top he wore at Oasis' Maine Road concerts

"I went backstage there was some player’s f*cking Umbro gear just sitting there and I thought, ‘I’m having a bit of that’, tried it on, f*cking freebie innit and, and I fucking pinched it and fucking wore it".

Ever wondered why Boneheads wasn't on the tickets for Oasis' concerts at Maine Road in April 1996, he point blank refused to be in them as he is a Manchester United fan.

On April 22nd 1995 Oasis played at the Sheffield Arena, at the time it was the biggest gig the band had ever staged.

The concert is often overlooked for some of the other big concerts the band played.

They had moved on from the sweaty little venues I first saw them in and were now selling out arenas.

A year later they would be selling out stadiums.

It would be the last concert Tony McCarroll would play with the band.
