Liam Gallagher booed by Oasis fans at Heaton Park after dedicating a song
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.

The vast ocean of Oasis devotees assembled at Heaton Park haven't escaped critique from home viewers watching online streams. One irate fan exclaimed: "The crowd is mental, mental for not enjoying the show."
Another observed: "This crowd wasted their money on the tickets."
An additional comment read: "Cardiff crowd definitely was better. well seemed it."
A fourth chimed in: "Thought the crowd would be mental here.
"More people stood around talking no appreciating what a great song probably all waiting for Wonderwall," opined one attendee. Another vented their frustration: "Wtf shouldn't be able to hear people's convos at an oasis homecoming gig."
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."

Holly Willoughby shows off her incredible figure in a rare bikini selfie as she shows her support for Oasis ahead of their second Wembley gig
Holly Willoughby turned heads as she posted a rare bikini snap on Saturday along with a message for Oasis fans ahead of the bands second gig at Wembley. In the black-and-white photo, the mum-of-three, 44, sizzled in a strapless bikini that highlighted her toned figure. Wearing a bright smile and an Adidas bucket hat, Holly gave a subtle nod to the legendary band. Posing in a garden, she captioned the post: 'When you're not in Wembley but your head is… have fun tonight if you're lucky enough to be going.' Oasis made a long-awaited return to London on Friday, playing their first gig in the city in over 16 years. Following a series of homecoming shows at Manchester's Heaton Park, the rock legends, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, took to the stage at Wembley Stadium. With five nights scheduled, the band shared door and stage times on their Instagram, providing fans with an hour-by-hour breakdown. Gates open at 5pm, followed by support acts Cast at 6pm and singer Richard Ashcroft at 7pm. Oasis then headline with a two-hour set starting at 8:15pm. The band kicked off their Oasis Live '25 world tour on July 4 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, earning five-star reviews from The Guardian, The Telegraph, and The Times. The group has also dominated the UK album charts, with three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company. While fans were excited at the reunion, some were outraged after some 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. After their final London gig on August 3, the group will move north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium before performing at Dublin's Croke Park. The band will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. The band will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. Formed in Manchester in 1991, the band was led by lead guitarist Noel and lead vocalist Liam during their 18 years together. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994. They had hits with songs including Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Live Forever. Dig Out Your Soul, the band's last studio album, was released in 2008, just months before the Paris row.
