Gallagher children watch Oasis homecoming gig with Pep Guardiola
Liam's two sons Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24, and Noel's three children Anais, 25, Donovan, 17 and Sonny, 14, were with Guardiola at the first of five sold-out shows.
Gene, whose mum is Liam's ex-wife Nicole Appleton, shared the image to Instagram, with the caption: 'Pic of the century alright now everyone els f*** off.'
A post shared by Gene Gallagher (@genegallagher)
The 24-year-old has previously spoken of his friendship with his cousin Anais, and said: 'We're a big happy family.'
His uncle Noel told crowds at the homecoming concert that he was aware that 'the boss', referring to Guardiola, the manager of the football team he supports, was in attendance.
More than an hour before Oasis took to the stage, fans were filmed singing their own rendition of Live Forever.
In video footage posted on social media by the band Cast, one of the support acts, crowds belted the hit out as they awaited the Gallaghers' arrival.
At about 8.20pm, the brothers walked onto the stage together to deafening cheers from crowds.
Liam held his older brother's hand and raised it, while he had his trademark maracas in his other fist.
Greater Manchester Police said the event passed 'without incident', although six men were arrested and in custody for a range of reasons including being drunk and disorderly and on suspicion of drug and fraud offences.
Five drones were also seized after breaches of air space restrictions.
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle said: 'We are really pleased to say that fans attending the concert tonight have been able to do so safely and without incident.
'We have had an extensive, highly visible presence at the venue and across the city today to ensure everyone's safety, and a dispersal notice covering Heaton Park remains in place until 2am tomorrow morning to allow us to deal with any anti-social behaviour robustly.'
Bev Craig, the leader of Manchester City Council, said before the concert on Friday that the city was 'all set to welcome music fans from across the globe' for 'a supersonic string of hometown dates from Liam and Noel'.
Councillor Craig added: 'The whole city is going all out to celebrate and help everyone have a good time. We've got some fantastic things going on with a real party atmosphere for everyone to enjoy, whether they have tickets for the Oasis gigs or not.'

She urged people without tickets not to travel to Heaton Park, warning that there is 'nothing for them to see or do there', instead suggesting they celebrate the reunion in the city centre.
Temperatures were in the high 20s in Manchester on Friday evening and Oasis had told fans to prepare for 'extreme sun and heat'.
In a post on social media, the band urged concertgoers to 'wear a (bucket) hat', put on sun screen, stay hydrated, seek shade and look after one another at Heaton Park.
The five sold-out shows there follow the band's first comeback gigs in Cardiff last week.
After Manchester, Oasis will visit London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September.
Their reunion announcement came after Noel had quit the band, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer', after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009.
The brothers announced the Oasis Live '25 tour last August.
While many fans were thrilled, some were left outraged after a number of standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355.
The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing.

Oasis fan with no ticket claims he snuck in to see the band using VERY ingenious plot
A major Oasis fan who failed to bag a ticket to the band's iconic reunion tour claimed he managed to get in using a very ingenious plan. John Spilsbury, 42, was determined to join the 80,000 strong crowd on Friday night as the rock band took to the stage in Manchester for the first time in 16 years. After racking his brain for a way in, the super fan decided to pose as a little picker so he could walk straight up to the front - and claims it worked. The transport planner said he wore a yellow hi-vis vest, carried a litter picker and held a bin bag before strolling up to the gates at Heaton Park, The Sun first reported. After being waved through, Mr Spilsbury said he got right to the front standing section using his smart disguise. Living up to his persona of the night, the fan claimed he carried out a '30 minute shift' of litter picking before removing his outfit to enjoy the show. Mr Spilsbury, from Alfreton in Cheshire, posted on social media: 'No Ticket No Problem. 'When you can't get a ticket for Oasis so take a hi viz and grabber and pretend to be a litter picker then walk straight into front standing.' Viewers praised the transport planner for being a 'legend and a genius', while others joked there will be '6,000 litter pickers' turning up to the next concert. The band's shows at Heaton Park - a 600-acre public park in Bury and Manchester - are the only UK concerts held outside a stadium, with the others taking place at the Principality Stadium, Wembley and Murrayfield. Oasis opened their set with Hello from their 1995 second album (What's the Story), before playing Acquiesce. Fans were treated to Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Cigarettes and Alcohol, and Supersonic before Noel's acoustic set. Giving his brother a hug, Liam then headed off while Noel played Half The World Away and Little By Little. Other songs included D'You Know What I Mean, Cast No Shadow, Stand By Me, Whatever and Rock N Roll Star. After Rock N Roll Star, Liam said: 'Thanks for sticking with us. I know we are difficult, but you want to try being in the band,' before they left the stage. As chants of 'one more song!' echoed through the crowd they strolled back on to stage to play fan favourites Don't Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall. Oasis ended the night on Champagne Supernova with fireworks being set off from the stage.

Drake's friend stabbed in mob attack hours after seeing star's Wireless gig
Hassan Ali was stabbed hours after attending his friend Drake's North London gig at Wireless Festival this weekend when he was mobbed by a gang of men while in his car. The rapper, who goes by the stage name of Top5, was in a white Mercedes when he was surrounded by a gang, and the vehicle was smashed in before he was stabbed in the leg. A Met Police said officers were called at around 12.15am on Monday morning with a report of a stabbing, as a spokesman said: 'The victim, a man in his 20s was approached by a group who damaged his car before stabbing him in the leg. He was taken to hospital and his injuries are not believed to be life-changing. 'Enquiries remain ongoing and no arrests have been made at this stage.' Distressing footage shoes a group of roughly a dozen men climbing onto the vehicle and stamping on the windscreen. Footage then shows a number of men opening the door and kicking the driver while trying to drag him away. Earlier in the evening, Top5 posted social media videos of him watching Drake's performance from the VIP section of the Finsbury Park festival. The rapper is thought to have caused tensions by telling fans on social media: 'There is no real killers in London.' The Met Police have urged anyone with information to call 101 or reach out on X and quote CAD105/17JULY. Last year Ali was cleared of a murder charge in his native Toronto, after which he took to social media to thank his lawyer. His only other two social media posts on Instagram show him meeting controversial rapper Kanye West on his birthday, and another tile largely of him and Drake, which he captioned: 'The President & The Boy.' Meanwhile during his three-night headline run at Wireless, Drake, 38, said London MCs were the 'best lyricists in the world'. 'No disrespect to America, but nobody in the world can out-rap London rappers,' he said, adding: 'This is the highest level – this is what I aspire to be.' It marked Drake's return to full-scale UK shows and the second of three back-to-back headline sets – a Wireless first – after he signed a multimillion-pound deal to top the bill each night of the festival. Drake's set featured tracks from across his career – including Nonstop, Know Yourself, and God's Plan. His run at the north London festival forms part of his ongoing 2025 tour. Got a story?
