Send Us Your Questions For Liam Gallagher

On Friday we will be meeting and interviewing Liam Gallagher a few hours before he takes to the stage at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in front of 60'000 Oasis fans.

I will also be getting to see the full Pretty Green collection, and have a close look at the clothes and the quality of the garments.

If you have any questions regarding the Pretty Green clothing range? Please send them to scyhodotcom@gmail.com and I will ask Liam the best ones.

Pretty Green is an up-front, straight talking, classic clothing range owned, founded and designed by Liam Gallagher. The clothing range, which is entirely 'limited edition', will include classic designs across footwear, denim, jackets, trench coats, parkas, t-shirts, knitwear, hats, scarves and accessories; all subject to Liam's final approval

Members of the Pretty Green community are now able to order from around the world from prettygreen.com all items will be limited availability and only available until September, so good to get in the order quick.

Delivery in the UK and international will be shipped from around 19th June.

All items come in bespoke packaging which is colour co-ordinated to the clothes you buy, as expected the clothes are really high quality, stuff that Liam would actually wear - Egyptian cotton and none of the rip off tees you'll be able to get outside the stadium shows....

When Oasis Do Something, They Do It In Style.

Whether that's Noel Gallagher swaggering into Downing Street in 1997, or Liam attacking Gordon Ramsey's "bobbins sweet potato" on the F-Word.

Everything is done with Mancunian class.

Almost two decades on they're still doing it - backstage at Heaton Park there's a football pitch, two sparkling Porches and a purpose built nightclub.

Just a day before - the first break on the tour, which culminates in three nights at Wembley Stadium in July - Liam Gallagher took friends and support band Kasabian for a country drive, in his helicopter.

"We had some dinner by a lake - a good chat, a good catch up, it was great," says guitarist Serge Pizzorno early in the afternoon.

"Seeing England from a helicopter is kind of strange as well, you get a real of sense of where you're from and the nation."

Saturday - the second of 3 nights at Heaton Park - is the tour's proper kick off following a faulty generator which forced the headliners offstage on the first night.

To make matters worse, The Enemy, slayed by food poisoning, pulled out all together.

"I was becoming intimately acquainted with my bathroom floor," admits lead singer Tom Clarke.

"It gave a night on the tiles a whole different meaning."

Sufficient confidence

Clear of mishaps, Saturday begins with a turn from newcomers Free Peace and Twisted Wheel, both showcasing sufficient confidence to warm the drizzle soaked crowd.

Back to full strength The Enemy are determined to make up for their personal false start.

It's an enviable arsenal of tunes the Coventry rockers have now, Away From Here, Had Enough and No Time For Tears sparking the first mass pogo-ing of the day.

Meanwhile, camp Kasabian is arguably in the fittest shape it's ever been.

With new single Fire debuting in the top 3 of the charts and new LP West Pauper Ryder Lunatic Asylum seeing them stake their claim on Oasis' popular rock crown, Tom Meighan and co are on devastating form.

Theirs is an almost faultless hour exercise in toned-rock - Shoot The Runner, LSF and opener Vlad The Impaler.

"It'd be amazing to do it in Leicester one day," says Serge beforehand. "That city would never have seen anything like it."

Don't bet against it.

Cruise-control

Oasis though remain untouchable.

Whilst the five-some rarely break a sweat during two hours of hits, their cruise-control is better than most other band's best efforts.

Liam, in a green anorak, is a statue of cool, as is Noel, dryly acknowledging the crowd.

Resigned to the fact the fans want the old stuff four songs are played off latest LP Dig Out Your Soul as they stack up the crowd pleasers.

Opener Rock 'N' Roll Star, Roll With It, The Masterplan, Morning Glory, Live Forever, Supersonic, Don't Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall are all greeted with mud splattered abandon.

As for the Gallaghers - it's not that there's a palpable atmosphere between Liam and Noel (according to reports their recent South American tour saw relations once again become strained) it's the lack of any atmosphere at all.

Still, the important thing is its 70,000 jubilant fans they're eye-balling and not each other.

Wrapping things up with an obvious homage (The Beatles' I Am The Walrus), a sodden Heaton Park doesn't leave just in fine voice - but without any voice at all.

Noel Gallagher Interview With North West News

Madonna Next After Oasis?

Mum was the word for at least one of the Gallagher brothers when Noel nipped home while back in Manchester for three stunning concerts at Heaton Park.

Noel and partner Sara MacDonald called to see mum Peggy at her home in Burnage on Saturday.

And the Oasis guitarist got a true Mancunian soaking as the rain poured down when he rushed from her house to his silver Mercedes.

Despite the rain Noel was still a happy man after the two concerts so far were hailed a huge success.

And traders who cashed in on the events are now hoping the council make the north Manchester venue a regular for gigs.

A huge clean-up operation was needed after expected audience of 210,000 poured into the park over the three nights.

But it was the smooth running of the shows and the lack of any major disorder which has left many wondering whether this could be the start of a new chapter in the park's colourful history.

Traders told the M.E.N. they want more after many saw their takings rocket.

And council bosses believe the extravaganza could make north Manchester an attractive proposition to big-name stars from all over the world.

Names such as Madonna and the Rolling Stones have already been mentioned as future performers.

And if rock legends The Stone Roses were ever to reform Heaton Park would be expected to be top the list of potential sites for an historic homecoming.

In front of the largest numbers at the park since Pope John Paul II's visit in 1982 the shows got off to an inconspicuous start.

On Thursday under clear skies the band had to leave the stage twice after a generator blew with Noel promising a refund for 'genuinely disappointed' fans.

But they made a triumphant return to play a blistering 24-song set to the joy of the thousands who had paid around £40 to catch a glimpse of their heroes.

Never one to shy away from controversy Liam had earlier launched a blistering attack on M.E.N. columnist Angela Epstein who had said the event should not take place.

Saturday's show was blighted by bad weather but most of the welly-wearing revellers were left delighted with the highly-charged performance.

Landlord of the Woodthorpe Hotel on nearby Bury Old Road, James Ballard, 55, described the event as 'absolutely marvellous'.

He said: "There's been no trouble whatsoever and I've not heard of any elsewhere. We weren't expecting this. I'd say 90 per cent of fans have thanked us for our hospitality. They've come from everywhere. Scotland, Ireland. We've nearly tripled the takings so I'm sure the brewery will be pleased with that.

"I'm wondering where we go from here now. I've heard Madonna in September. Personally I'd love to see Genesis. Why not?"

Aziz Rehman, 28, from Prestwich Wines, added: "The fans have been absolutely fantastic and we've had no trouble. I was worried but they've all behaved themselves. Our regular customers say they have been delighted with it. It's good to see so many people in Prestwich.

"I think they should do it again. I'd like to see Snoop Dog and Michael Jackson here."

Rhys Ifans Foot Break Takes The Peth

Bungling Rhys Ifans has broken his foot just four days before his band open for Oasis at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium.

The Notting Hill actor is hobbling around on crutches after crocking himself in a footie kickabout with a gang of kids outside his rock group The Peth’s Cardiff studio.

Rhys, who fronts the band, will still play Friday’s gig but with his left foot in a huge RoboCop-style plastic boot brace.

He said: “It was a very un-rock ’n’ roll accident — I was playing football with kids and didn’t even have the ball. I broke a little but very important bone.”

He now has the same brace David Beckham wore after he broke his foot before the 2002 World Cup.

Liam Gallagher Off To A Flyer

Noel Gallagher christened Oasis’s mega-gig tour The Summer Of Bigness.

And they rounded off the storming opening shows at Manchester’s Heaton Park over the weekend with famous faces joining the madness.

Top model Agyness Deyn, Mani from The Stone Roses and actor Ralf Little bowed at the Oasis rock altar and went “mad fer” support acts Kasabian and THE Enemy too.

I bumped into Liam after Saturday’s show and he showed me his new range of Pretty Green threads.

The T-shirts come in a classy gift box and the jackets are awesome.

Liam is clearly intent on going up in the world.

He was helicoptered in for the gigs from his place in Cheshire — a flight that takes just ten minutes.

That’s how to travel like a true Rock ’N’ Roll Star . .

Review From Oasis In Heaton Park, Manchester Night Two

06-06-09 by Nina Finlay

Well, as promised the weather was a tad crap for the Heaton Park gig yesterday but the grey skies and drizzle didn’t dampen anyones spirits. As expected the place was strewn full of `Liam’ wannabes and worse…I won’t go any further than that, I’m sure you’re imaginations can piece the rest together.


Oasis arrived on stage after a tremendous warm up from Kasabian. The visuals were fantastic, a colourful combination providing an impressive back drop for our favourite Northern brothers. Liam, stance and stares at the ready, kicked the show off with `Rock and Roll’ star which saw the crowd erupt and the mood and energy of the 70,000 concert goers lift off and remain that way for the entirety of the hour and a half set. They played a plethora of songs including Masterplan, Lyla, Cigarettes & Alcohol and Wonderwall all receiving a spectacularly welcoming reception. Noel was his usual witty self between tracks at one point asking `did any of you lot come the other night and ask for your money back?` followed with `tight c*nts‘.

Given the problems that they incurred on the first night of the Manchester Heaton Park gigs I did worry that we would have some of the same, I needn‘t have worried although the wind was quite ferrocious at one point and did carry the sound from the speakers somewhat.

If you haven’t seen them live I’d strongly recommend you try and see them at an outdoor gig if you can, a big noise and big band like this can be stifled in an indoor venue. To sum it up top gig and top show provided by the Gallagher brothers once again, nice one lads.

Personal Journey Of 'Reverend And The Makers' Jon McClure

Joining Oasis as they roll into town this week to play one of the largest concerts ever staged in the North will be Reverend and the Makers. Liz Lamb chats to singer Jon McClure . . .

With 53,000 fans packed into a football stadium and the mighty Oasis headlining the sell-out date, this is one of the biggest gigs of Reverend and the Makers’ lives.

But frontman Jon McClure is showing no signs of nerves ahead of the concert at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on Wednesday.

“I can’t wait, I am absolutely up for it,” says the singer, who is busy sunning himself in his back garden in Sheffield.

“We’ve never done anything on this scale before, but bring it on.

“You have got to test yourself in different environments. I am quite confident, there’s no nerves. We’ve been to Sunderland loads before and played gigs there.

“People in places like Sunderland, they want to hear bands talking their language and we’re like that.”

Jon is a lover of Oasis’ music, having grown up listening to them, and occasionally hangs out with Noel Gallagher.

“I’m a big Oasis fan,” he says: “When I was 12 I was told to turn off the TV at 9pm but I remember staying up and The Word came on and Oasis were on there.

“It was 1994 and I just thought ‘Oh My God’. It was a bit of a life change. I thought they were brilliant.

“I know Noel a little bit. We’ve been out a couple of times and exchanged texts and he is a brilliant guy.

“He is inspiring. The thing with Noel is he won’t say anything about people in interviews that he wouldn’t say to their face in the pub. He’s just real and it’s just the same for me, as I am very like that myself.”

Noel Gallagher: "The Stadium Tour Is Going To Be Among The Best Gigs This Year"

Oasis guitarist and singer Noel Gallagher reckons the band’s stadium tour is going to be among the best gigs this year.

Commenting on the line up of Oasis, Kasabian, Reverends and The Enemy, he says: “These gigs are going to be easily the gigs of the year, if not the decade. They are gigs that go down in people’s memories.”

Oasis’ 2009 stadium tour broke all box office records, selling a staggering 500,000 tickets in a matter of hours. The organisers were forced to scramble to put additional nights on sale in both London and Manchester after the band’s two night runs at London’s Wembley Stadium and Manchester’s Heaton Park sold out in hours. Additionally their first ever trip to Sunderland’s City of Light Stadium sold out.

Oasis co-promoter Chris York of SJM Concerts said “This has to be the most tickets ever sold by an artist in the UK in one day.”

If you are a Kasabian fan but couldn’t get you hands on tickets for the Stadium of Light gig, the band will play Newcastle 02 Academy the night before, on Tuesday, June 9. The Leicester rockers will be showcasing songs from their new album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum. Tickets £22.50. Call 0191-260 2020

Noel Gallagher Set For Rocky Ride At North Concert

Some might say rock star Noel Gallagher is in for a stormy welcome when Oasis play in the North East on Wednesday after he slammed the club on a radio show.

Speaking on Russell Brand’s show on Talk Sport in April, the guitarist and songwriter said he wanted Newcastle to go down.

He also joked that “there is no greater sight than seeing fat Geordies crying on Match of the Day”.

United supporters yesterday said it would be interesting to gauge the reaction of any Newcastle fans present when Oasis play to a sell-out crowd at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on June 10.

It is quite a reverse from 1997 when Liam Gallagher wore a Newcastle shirt and gave constant score updates through an Oasis gig at Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena when United beat Barcelona 3-2 in one of the proudest nights in the club’s history.

The offending comments came in one of the first shows Russell Brand had appeared in after his ban over the Andrew Sachs scandal.

Noel said: “It would just be brilliant if they go down.

“I don’t think there’s a greater sight than seeing fat Geordies crying on Match of the Day.

“Topless Geordies crying. They should make it a sport in the Olympics: make a Geordie cry. And all that Geordie nation nonsense; the Geordie nation? What does that mean?”

After momentarily backtracking, saying “the people are all right”, Noel continued: “The club’s rubbish. The Shearer appointment is madness. I speak for a lot of football supporters when I say ‘I hope they go down’.”

Greg Tunney, a member of the Toon Ultras supporters group, said Gallagher could expect a hostile welcome.

“If he’s walking about on the street, people are not going to be welcoming him.

“Obviously, the exact welcome he gets will depend on how much people like him for his music. There are going to be a lot of people who he has upset though.

“I don’t know if people will have stopped buying their music but the fans who like the club more than Oasis are going to be annoyed by what he’s said.”

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Newcastle United Supporters’ Club said the Geordie people would be big enough to ignore the comments.

“My response first of all is that what he’s said shows him up for the ignoramus that he is.

“In terms of what kind of welcome he will get, people from Newcastle will rise above such childish comments.

“The comments should be treated with the contempt they deserve. He has shown a complete lack of understanding to be fair.

“He is probably doing it for a bit of publicity . . . he wants to get a reaction.”

Sunderland FC has spent thousands of pounds and is employing almost 1500 members of staff for the massive logistics exercise of hosting the Oasis gig.

The show is expected to pull in a crowd of 50,000.

Liam Gallagher: The Hellraiser Of Henley

The reformed bad boy of britpop has toned down his lifestyle to early-morning runs, PTA meetings and a career in fashion design

It’s said that rock gods never die, they always smelt like that. Liam Gallagher, though, is immaculately groomed for his Style photoshoot. And — I know this is a rather inappropriate thing to note in the circumstances — his skin looks amazing. With not a make-up artist in sight. “I don’t have manicures or anything. But I’m into male grooming. Why not?” says the former alpha hellraiser. “I splash a bit of water on my d*** every morning, if that’s what you mean.”

Ah, Liam Gallagher. Don’t you just love him? The man who made a whole nation of teenage girls swoon with his swagger, the frontman of not only Oasis, but also of Cool Britannia (as pictured in that iconic cover of Vanity Fair in 1997 with his first wife, Patsy Kensit). As part of Oasis, there were the albums (Definitely, Maybe was the fastest-selling debut ever), the brawls with the paps, the mouthy feuds with rivals (Blur v Oasis lasted for years), and the fights with his brother. And then there were the girls, booze and drug-fuelled nights at brother Noel’s London home, Supernova Heights. Then it all went rather quiet.

Several years on, in a cafe in Brighton, I find Gallagher a different man; he’s here to promote a different venture: his new fashion label, Pretty Green. Gallagher himself could forgive us for laughing, confessing as he does that it isn’t a natural meeting of minds. “Yeah, it’s all a bit silly. They take themselves f***in’ seriously, don’t they?” he says of the fashion lot. “I’ve been to one show — a Versace one. Got really pissed. Got really high. Jumped on the catwalk, took the piss out of them. Nearly got shot. I was with the missus, Patsy. And her, what’s she called?” Donatella.

“Yeah, she was cool, man. But I’d been drinking… And I just got a bit carried away over the whole occasion.” But, as he sagely tells me, “as you get older you smarten up, don’t you?”

The 36-year-old certainly looks smart today, wearing a deep-chocolate mac done all the way up to counter the drizzle, dark soft denim and, following the unofficial men’s “only one statement item” rule, a magnificent pair of “Yves f***in’ Saint Laurent f***in’ ponyskin loafers. I’ve got three pairs of the bastards”.

If today’s model is anything to go by, Gallagher hasn’t only smartened up, he’s grown up, too, in ways that seem a million miles away from the old 1990s model. When we meet outside the Grand Hotel, he rushes to me, hand outstretched. He talks amicably with the out-of-work extras who stumble upon the shoot, and is concerned that the cafe we’re using as a location might be losing business. It’s a conciliatory attitude, extended even to his former rival. “What do I think about Blur re-forming? Fair play to ’em. I absolutely despised them, I thought they were a bunch of pussies. But when you look back, they were actually pretty good. Damon Albarn, I’ve met him a couple of times and he’s all right. You do things when you’re young and you think your shit don’t stink.”

Now he’s older, things are definitely different. He finally married Nicole Appleton, with whom he has been for a decade and for whom he wrote the acoustic ballad Songbird, at Marylebone register office last year, in a ceremony, he quipped, that cost him only £18. And he’s an active dad to Lennon Francis (his son with Kensit, who is 10 this year) and Gene (8 in July). They live in a cottage in Hampstead, “Two-up, two-down. I’m proud of it, but it’s getting a bit tiny for them to have playmates round. Lennon's good at football and very well behaved. Gene’s great at art, but he’s got a bit of the devil in him, that one. He’s a rock star.”

Gallagher says he rises at 6.30am to go running on Hampstead Heath, takes the kids to school and picks them up in the evening. “Then I go to bed a six-thirty at night, ha! School’s one of my big things. Go to the parents’ evenings, yep, sit in those little chairs that it takes you nine hours to get up out of. The headmaster’s called David. He’s a top bloke, a Beatlehead.” Like Paul McCartney, is he insisting on sending them to state schools? “They go to private school. Without a doubt. I don’t feel guilty. My kids deserve to be there as much as a doctor’s. I’m not working-class, I’ve got a massive house in Henley.”

Can this really be Liam Gallagher talking? He is a quasi-divine figure to some — men are in awe of him in a manner they don’t reserve for the Lewis Hamiltons and Jude Laws of this world. Although I have a few of their records, I’m no Oasis homo, but Liam’s world-view is certainly infectious. In difficult situations, in the days to come, I find myself asking, “What would Liam do?” The yawning chasm in the straight male, aged 18 to 40, self-help-book market awaits — How to Be Fookin’ Top, perhaps, or My Bastard Book. If not, then at least Pretty Green means more of Gallagher as a personality rather than iconic front man.

When I catch up with him on the phone a week later, he’s hosting a barbecue at that second home in Henley-on-Thames. “The kids are buzzin’, there’s flying ants everywhere, we’re having margaritas — I’m on my 20th,” he tells me, painting another picture of his and Nic’s domestic bliss. Then he begins to expound upon the joys of interior decor and gardening. “Nic does the cooking and I do the curtains. I’m not into all the modern stuff, I like classic, my house is pretty old-school. I like velvet sofas, quite grand.” And the garden too? “I’m really into pots at the moment. Big f***ing pots. And big concrete owls. I’ve got one called Noel because he’s just a miserable-looking little bastard. And I’ve got, hang on... Nic! What’s that film called with the mole and the windmill? Wind in the Willows. I’ve got a scene of them down in the garden.”

Luckily for him — and us — it isn’t quite all gnomes down the bottom of the garden for Liam Gallagher these days. His latest catch phrase is the very post-credit crunch, “Get on and get it f***in’ done.” Which is what he says he did with the fashion label; a range of modish menswear essentials, it’s directed by Gallagher and tailored by Nick Holland, of Holland Esquire, and, naturally, “was born round a pool in LA”, he relays. “Steve [Allen, his constant companion — and one of the partners in Pretty Green] and I were staying up by the marina. Our Kid and everyone else was down by the beach partying, but I’m tryin’ to stay away from that stuff, I’m really into running at the moment. And I says, I fancy doing some of this stuff. Started off just wanting to make desert boots.”

While these desert boots are currently in production, the first collection boasts polo shirts, hats, scarves, knits and a classic fishtail parka. So far, so Liam Gallagher. Are there not, I ask, enough people going round dressed like him as it is? “I’ve never met one, but I’ve heard they’re around,” he says. “On one of our websites there’s an advert, ‘Buy Oasis-style clothes’. I clicked on it and there’s all these idiots ripping off the clothes I’ve been buying. So I just thought, ‘Right, we’ve got to nail this and do it proper.’”

The range falls into the higher end of what the fashion industry calls its ‘mostly heterosexual’ older lads’ market. It’s not only the clothes that are getting the proper treatment right now, though. This summer, after several years in hiding, Oasis (like old friends Blur) are going on tour again. Gallagher insists he is still pumped at the thought. “The day it isn’t exciting is the day it goes dark.”

Surely he’ll be missing this domestic bliss on tour… right? “It is hard. But I was doing this before. They’ve got their lives to live, they’ve got to go to school, I’ve got to keep them as far away from all this as possible. When we do our concerts they come and all that, and they reap the benefits, and you wonder if it’s good for them to be spoilt, but this is what pays the bills, and I reckon if I was at home all the time I’d do their heads in. Of course I miss ’em, but that’s life.”

At this point, it would be easy to imagine the Oasis tour bus as having organic smoothies in the fridge and the brood constantly on Skype. But, thankfully, just before I go, Liam reminds me that his metamorphosis into a pillar of the Hampstead and Henley communities doesn’t quite extend that far. “For me, the rider’s tequila. There’s no snorting coke off dwarves’ heads though. They’ve all grown up and run off.” Our kid’s still in there. Somewhere.

Oasis Triumph At Manchester's Heaton Park

Oasis triumphed at the second of three Manchester gigs last night (June 6).

The Gallaghers played an impressive set at Heaton Park, avoiding the technical problems which beset the first gig of the run on Thursday (June 4).

The 70,000 crowd managed to avoid the heavy rain touted by weather forecasters, whose predicted torrential downpours failed to materialise.

The Enemy returned to the bill after pulling out of Thursday's gig due to singer Tom Clarke's illness.

The Coventry band played a rabble-rousing set, including last single 'No Time For Tears' and debut album favourites 'Not Alone' and 'Away From Here'.

Local rockers Twisted Wheel also provided support, along with Free Peace and Kasabian.

Taking to the stage at 8.45pm (BST), Oasis launched into 'Rock N Roll Star', instantly getting the 70,000 crowd jumping.

Although not quipping to the crowd with the same frequency as the first night of the run, the band were on top form, firing through a career-spanning set to a crowd which was watched by model Agyness Deyn, New Order bassist Peter Hook and The Stone Roses and Primal Scream man Mani.

Oasis stuck to the same set that garnered eventual success on Thursday, leading mass singalongs to 'Roll With It', 'Cigarettes And Alcohol' and 'Wonderwall'.

Frontman Liam Gallagher left the stage at numerous points, allowing brother Noel to take lead vocal duties on 'Half The World Away' and fan-favourite 'Don't Look Back In Anger'.

The set also included a smattering of tracks from recent album 'Dig Out Your Soul', including 'I'm Outta Time' and 'Waiting For The Rapture'.

A cover of The Beatles' 'I Am The Walrus' was the group's customary set-closer, leaving the jubilant hometown crowd in raptures.

Oasis played:

77% Of Fans Want A Refund For Oasis' Heaton Park Show

Seventy-seven percent of Oasis fans want a refund for the band's gig at Manchester' Heaton Park last night, which was tarnished by sound problems.

The band have promised to reimburse fans who weren't satisfied with the concert after sound problems caused their set to be delayed by 50 minutes.

Guitarist Noel Gallagher said: “Thank you very very much, this is a free gig - let's fucking have it! Anybody who has kept their ticket will get a full refund."

A Gigwise survey, which received 1175 votes, found 77% of fans said they planned to claim for a refund, while 23% were satisfied with the band's performance.

If each fan was to claim for a refund for their £45 ticket, the concert would cost Oasis £3million.

Meanwhile, fans have contacted Gigwise throughout the day to offer their feedback on the show, which marked the opening night of Oasis' UK tour.

A number of fans have claimed the concert was spoiled, not by sound problems, but fights that broke out within the crowd.

Harry the Goat said: “We walked out as fights were breaking out in the crowds, so yes 45 quid so I can then go on Sunday and watch them again please.”

Mags found the atmosphere within the crowd “scary [and] sinister”, while Crag said: “Was really good but like on the other post some idiots are pricks throwing urine and fighting.”

Oasis are due to perform at Heaton Park tonight and tomorrow, before the tour continues at stadium venues across the country.

Oasis Could Be Fined For Late Opening Night

Rockers Oasis could be slapped with a hefty fine after the show on their tour's jinxed opening night broke an 11pm curfew.

Council officials were furious that the gig in the band's home city of Manchester overran. It had started late due to technical problems.

As the allotted finishing time approached, guitarist Noel Gallagher said: "Normally we go off at this point. But tough."

The concert on Thursday night could already have cost the band £3.5million.

The gig at Heaton Park was delayed by 45 minutes because of a broken generator so Noel and singer brother Liam told the 70,000 fans they could have the £50 cost of their ticket refunded if they wanted.

Noel later said he regretted that promise.

Fan Paula Fenwick, 27, of Newcastle, said: "In these credit crunch times seeing Oasis effectively for free is quite appealing."

Rock Preview: Oasis, On Tour

Heaton Park, Manchester, Sat & Sun; Stadium Of Light, Sunderland, Wed; Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Fri

Fifteen years on from their original showdown, this summer brings a rematch of that titanic Britpop battle: Blur v Oasis.

What's more remarkable, as both bands play massive live shows, is that both parties seem fighting fit.

Blur have a fine best of due featuring both hits and some lesser known tracks.

Oasis, meanwhile, are enjoying the euphoria of their greatest achievement in many years: making a record with four good songs on it, one after the another. Faint praise, possibly, but after many years of false dawns and underwhelming songs, Dig Out Your Soul managed to martial, alongside some not exactly unpredictable references to the Beatles, some of their original poise.

This is not a group to force their new work on you, though. For all their swagger and attitude, ultimately Oasis are masters of giving the people (and here that's a great many people) exactly what they want.
