Oasis get hero's homecoming at first night in Heaton Park
Even fans without a ticket had gathered outside Heaton Park in the scorching heat to listen to one of the year's biggest gigs.
At a quarter past eight, the Burnage brothers emerged triumphantly hand in hand, and the crowd went wild.
Starting strong with (What's the Story) Morning Glory? opener Hello, the Gallagher's voices were drowned out by the crowd's singing throughout every track.
Acquiesce came next - with its chorus "because we need each other, we believe in one another" a perfect soundtrack for the brothers overcoming their feud.
There wasn't a single song where the audience didn't sing every word - the atmosphere was absolutely electric.
Even after almost two decades, it felt as if they never left.

He then told the audience to turn around before breaking into a standout performance of Cigarettes and Alcohol.
The set list was full of hits from their classic first two albums, with fan favourites including Supersonic, Slide Away and Live Forever.
The duo ended the night with a monumental encore of The Masterplan, Don't Look Back in Anger and Wonderwall.
Champagne Supernova - the final song - saw pyrotechnics light up the skies for a truly biblical end to a fantastic performance.

‘Premier League should be trembling' – Fans in meltdown as Pep Guardiola shows off shock new look
PEP GUARDIOLA has sent Premier League fans into meltdown after he debuted a stunning new look. The Manchester City boss is hoping to mastermind his squad back to winning ways next season after finishing third in the league and going trophyless. 3 3 3 City's squad returns to pre-season on July 28 following their exploits in the Club World Cup. But the Spaniard forced fans to do a double take after spotting him with a remarkable new facial feature. Guardiola, 54, ditched his usual beard for a striking moustache. The new look quickly went viral as fans discussed it. One fan said: "The league is not ready for a bald moustache Josep Guardiola." A second said: "You can't just post 'Pep Guardiola' now has a moustache' and expect us to get on with our lives." A third added: "Bro what???" A fourth said: "Premier League should be trembling now." A fifth said: "Pep Guardiola saw the announcement of the start of production for the fourth season of Ted Lasso and decided to pay tribute to his idol." Ted Lasso recently announced its return for a fourth season, but Guardiola previously appeared in the last episode of season three of the Apple TV show, which he is a big fan of. Pep Guardiola and stunning daughter Maria belt out Oasis classic as Man City boss parties with Gallagher family at gig Guardiola could have even been inspired by a moustache he saw in 2021. He told TNT Sports correspondent Fred Caldeira at the time: "I really like your moustache, Fred. "You are so attractive and sexy." And he may be hoping the new look can give City a fresh push towards silverware. City have a pre-season game against Palermo on August 9. They then kick-off their Premier League season with an away trip to Wolves. Tottenham then visit the Etihad for City's first home game of the campaign.

I tried Glasgow's new rooftop bar and restaurant, my verdict
Glasgow already boasts several great spots for sipping cocktails while watching the sun set over the skyline, including the Red Sky Bar in Finnieston, House of Gods in Merchant City and Kong in the city centre - just to mention a few. And last night, I went along to the newest addition to the scene, SíSí. My friend and I were invited to have a look around ahead of the official opening on August 1. I tried Glasgow's new rooftop bar and restaurant, my verdict (Image: Newsquest) (Image: Newsquest) Our table (Image: Newsquest) READ NEXT: Glasgow's newest rooftop bar and restaurant to open soon The venue is located at the top of The Social Hub, just off Argyle Street and we were filled with excitement taking the rainbow-coloured elevator up to the eighth floor. Upon arrival, we were shown to our table next to a huge window, already providing a unique angle of Glasgow below us. But the real star of the evening was the rooftop, complete with tables and comfortable chairs. The spacious area was beautifully lit up as the sun set behind us - great timing on our part. Below, we could see the People's Palace, Glasgow Green, all along Argyle Street and Central Station form a truly unique point of view. Airmale and Cherry Paloma (Image: Newsquest) Papa dorata and baja hake (golden potato and panko hake) (Image: Newsquest) Tostada de cancrejo (white crab) (Image: Newsquest) READ NEXT: I visited a hidden Glasgow gem - it was a European summer dream After a wee wander outside, we sat down to enjoy our meal. SíSí serves Mexican-American inspired sharing plates paired with craft cocktails. We ordered seven dishes between us, including the excellent guacamole with chips, scallops, crab, a beef brisket tortilla dish and my personal favourite - the flautas. This is a vegetarian meal made of a fried corn tortilla stuffed with pumpkin, kale, queso oaxaca, crema and salsa macha. It was excellent and very filling. The plates were beautifully presented, light and delicious. What impressed me mostly was how well-seasoned the food was.

To drink, we tried four cocktails between us: the Cherry Paloma, the Airmail, the Trouble in Paradise and Coco Maiz. They were all great, but if I had to highlight one of them, the Cherry Paloma was the perfect amount of fruity and smoky. If I could do it all over again, I would order that and not let my friend pick it first, leaving me with only a couple of sips of goodness. We even had space for dessert, mezcal cranachan for me and churros for my dining partner. Overall, I enjoyed our time very much at SíSí, I only wish the weather had been a bit warmer and drier for the occasion. During the next heatwave, you will know where to find me.
