Oasis fans have been left raging over the crowd's lack of energy in Manchester, but that didn't stop Liam and Noel Gallagher from putting on an epic show.
Rock icon Liam Gallagher faced jeers at the monumental Oasis reunion gig at Heaton Park in Manchester, yet it wasn't his tunes that provoked the crowd. The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, walked on stage together to thunderous applause from the crowd gathered on Friday evening at the vast open-air venue.
The atmosphere changed briefly when Liam took a moment for an unexpected tribute. He proclaimed: "I'd like to dedicate this to the greatest manager of all time, Mr Pep Guardiola."
‌
This mention of the Manchester City boss led to a wave of boos from the fans—but Liam coolly retorted: "Who you f***ing booing, who you f***ing booing."
‌
Amidst the boos, a life-sized cut-out of Pep Guardiola sporting a Man City scarf became the focal point on stage. Laughter replaced boos as Liam launched into the anthem 'D'You Know What I Mean'.
Enhancing the backstage buzz, none other than Pep Guardiola himself was spotted enjoying interactions with the Gallaghers, including times with Noel's daughter and Liam's progeny, reports the Mirror.
Meanwhile, Noel paid his respects to two of Manchester's comedic legends, Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash from The Royle Family, dedicating: "This one's for Caroline and Craig" before he played an acoustic rendition of Half the World Away, the beloved sitcom's theme song.
Warm-up act Cast surprised attendees with a special guest appearance, and Richard Ashcroft tipped his hat to another Mancunian music legend during his set.

One more critic slammed: "Fake fans," and someone else derisively remarked: "Noasis would have better atmosphere."
Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher appeared to reference internal friction within the band as he took a shot at his brother Noel. As "Rock N Roll Star" began, Liam quipped: "Listen up beautiful people this is going to be our last song."
He added, acknowledging the group's notorious complexities: "Thanks for sticking with us. I know we are difficult, but you wanna try being in the band."
