Happy Mondays star Bez 'rinsing' the Oasis reunion tour with official after party DJ sets
The king of the maracas will be entertaining fans of the legendary Britpop band following their gigs at Heaton Park this summer, at New Century, and he's admitted it's a nice "little earner".
The Madchester legend told the Daily Star: 'I've got a little earner out of Oasis going on tour. I'm rinsing it it's true. I'm DJ-ing at the after shows in Manchester if anybody wants to go, Nobody's asked me to do the other ones yet but I can do.'
Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder recalled a gross prank the post-punk dance group and Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher carried out back in the day when Noel worked as a roadie for iconic Madchester group Inspiral Carpets - a role he took on in 1990 after a failed audition to be their lead singer.
Shaun recounted: "When Noel was working for Inspiral Carpets we used to send stuff, it wasn't emails it was either telexes or letters, and we used to send s*** to Inspirals. They would send s*** back to us. But that was Noel who was sending it all cos he worked for them.'
Bez remembers attending Oasis' first ever show at a "scabby little club" in Manchester.
He shared: 'I was at their very first gig they played with Noel at Middleton. Every gig were scabby little clubs. (Label boss) Alan McGee came up with Jeff Barrett (colleague) to Manchester and were looking for Manchester bands to sign.'
Bez says a lot of Mancunians owe Oasis for bagging record deals.
The potty-mouth star said: 'Every **** we knew was signed at one point. Even me next door neighbour f***** got a record deal cos of them!'
The Oasis Live '25 Tour - Oasis' first tour in 16 years - kicks off on July 4 in Cardiff.
The Supersonic group will play five shows at Heaton Park between July 11 and 20.

Will Oasis worsen UK inflation woes? Definitely maybe
London | The Oasis comeback tour looks set to add to a resurgence of inflation in the UK, complicating an already tricky situation that has divided the Bank of England. The Britpop band's sell-out concerts this month could lift headline inflation by as much as four basis points if they coincide with the Office for National Statistics' data collection dates, according to economists.

Oasis pay tribute to Irish roots in sell-out Dublin gig
The Gallagher brothers have paid tribute to their Irish roots during a sell-out gig in Dublin, as Oasis returned to Ireland for the first time in 16 years. Tens of thousands of fans descended on the Irish capital for the first of two sold-out gigs at the country's largest stadium. The 90s Britpop superstars performed to 80,000 people at Croke Park on Saturday and are scheduled to do the same on Sunday night. Health officials had advised revellers to wear their bucket hats, with high UV levels predicted. As the band's first gig in the country since 2009, the Dublin leg of the reunion world tour holds a special meaning for once-feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. The Mancunian brothers have often spoken about their ties to Ireland through their Irish-born parents, Peggy and Thomas. They display the image of an Irish harp as part of their comparatively understated stage decor. In a regional change to the warm-up tunes, the crowd enthusiastically joined in singing as The Auld Triangle blared over the stadium speakers before the brothers walked out, as Fuckin' In The Bushes played for their entrance. Liam also dedicated Roll With It to the people of Charlestown, County Mayo - where his mother hails from. Mid-song, he also turned to the upper tiers where she was expected to have been sitting and blew kisses as he mouthed: "I love you". Liam Gallagher told the crowd: "Oasis vibes in the area, Dublin vibes in the area." The singer, who described himself as a "Croke Park virgin" because the band had never played there, added: "This is the soberest I've ever been in Ireland." Acknowledging how fans have missed the presence of the band, Liam added: "You've been missed as well - you lunatics." Fans said Dublin was "buzzing" for the reunion, with some comparing it to Christmas in August. Sarah and Neil Charlton travelled from Southampton to see the band, after a determined search for standing tickets saw them clinching access in Dublin. Charlton said they have both been waiting a long time to see the band reunite, having seen Oasis multiple times before their extended hiatus. "It's just so nostalgic - all the songs and all the music from when we were growing up," Charlton said. "When we first started seeing each other, we went to a gig and so it's always been a part of our lives together." The highly anticipated 41-date run has already seen the band play Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh. They are also headed to the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Japan.

Dublin buzzing ahead of Oasis' return to Ireland
Dublin is "buzzing" as Oasis return to Ireland for the first time in 16 years. Tens of thousands of fans descended on the Irish capital for the first of two sold-out gigs at the country's largest stadium. The 90s Britpop superstars will perform to 80,000 people at Croke Park on Saturday and Sunday nights. Fans will enjoy the music in temperatures above 20C. Health officials advised revellers to wear their bucket hats, with high UV levels predicted. The band's first gig in the country since 2009, the Dublin leg of the reunion world tour will hold a special meaning for once-feuding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. The Mancunian brothers have spoken about their ties to Ireland through their Irish-born parents, Peggy and Thomas.

"It's just so nostalgic - all the songs and all the music from when we were growing up," Charlton said. "When we first started seeing each other, we went to a gig and so it's always been a part of our lives together." Oasis formed part of the romantic story for Lisa and Alan Roe too, who said their love of the band dates back to when they got married in the 1990s. He said the band's reunion was an emotional time. "That brings an aura about in everybody and a buzz and the memories of growing up in Dublin with them - it's absolutely out of this world," he said. Sinead Millea from Kilkenny previously saw the band in Limerick in 1996 and is glad the brothers have patched things up. "Maybe we're all going through a bit of a midlife crisis - I turned 50 this year, and look, Noel and Liam, they're in their 50s as well," she said. "And maybe things just dawned on them that life is too short and just, let's put grievances to bed. They seem to be getting on great, and it's fabulous. And at the end of the day, music transcends everything." The support acts for the Dublin dates are Richard Ashcroft from The Verve and Cast, formed by John Power after he left The La's. The set list has crowd-pleasing hits such as Cigarettes And Alcohol and Wonderwall. Fans have also been treated to favourites including Acquiesce, Some Might Say and Morning Glory - before a Don't Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova crescendo. Oasis announced their reunion tour in August last year, 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009, when Noel quit after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
