"The team are loving welcoming Oasis fans – the bucket hats are a bit of a giveaway at check-in.
'When you think of Oasis, first you think of the massive tunes, but from hats to parkas second on the list is always going to be their incredible style.
'The hair is as much a part of that as anything, so while we can't make people rock 'n' roll stars – we can at least make them look like one and have a comfy bed waiting at the end of the gig.'
Levon Gill, the barber added: 'It was so much fun giving these fans such an iconic look.

"There have been lot of tourists come in to get one, but they wait until they get to Manchester to make sure to get the real deal.'
The Gallagher brothers shot to fame in the mid-1990s after two colossally successful Oasis albums, Definitely Maybe in 1994 and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? in 1995.
With both Liam and Noel sharing vocal duties, the fractious pair were as famous for their off-stage antics as their music.
Thanks to their working-class attitude, the duo were immediate style sensations, with shaggy hair and parkas defining the look of the era.
The band went through spats and breakups, finally calling things off for good in 2009 after a blazing row between the two brothers following a Paris gig.
In 2024, they announced a reunion tour that sold out in minutes, with fans from around the globe clamouring for tickets.
Tracey added: 'Oasis aren't just a band - they're part of people's life stories.
'Their music and style defined a generation, soundtracked major moments and gave fans a voice when they needed it most.
'These songs have always had the power to unite strangers, whether at a gig, a festival or singing in the street after a night out.
'Bringing people together for something this iconic is electric, and we are so proud to be playing our part in it – it's more than a concert, it's a cultural moment that will never be forgotten.'

A DAD has slammed his child's "woke" school after they banned him from wearing a gorilla costume.

But the 47-year-old was told it posed "a serious safeguarding concern" and was asked not to wear it again via a "snotty" message. The dad-of-two, a self-employed horse dentist and farmer, said: "It's a little village school and I live just opposite it. "I went there, my son went there and now my little girl does. Read More "I was just trying to embarrass her. She's always saying, 'Dad, please don't embarrass me'. "The other day I put a horse's head on, so on the last day of school I put on a gorilla outfit. "Then, I got this snotty text off the school, saying it's a 'serious safeguarding issue'." The text, shared by Chris, read: "Please do not come into school in a costume or mask. Most read in The Sun "This is a serious safeguarding issue. It has also upset some of the children & caused concern for adults." But Chris slammed the school for being "woke" and claimed he was "just trying to have a bit of a laugh". He added: "How is that a safeguarding issue? Where is it going to end? Are the kids not going to be allowed to dress up? "I really didn't like the way they worded it. "I was just trying to have a bit of a laugh, but the school have taken it dead serious. "I messaged them back, but they didn't reply. "I just thought it was ridiculous. Safeguarding is about the safety of the kids. "A dad in a gorilla outfit is not a safeguarding issue - let alone a 'serious' one. "It's taking the p**s. I've had lots of messages of support, saying: 'What on Earth is this country coming to? A kid can identify as a cat but a dad can't dress up as a gorilla'. "That's what dads do: embarrass their daughters. I'm always playing jokes and messing about. "It's just a bit woke." The school has been contacted for comment. This comes after another dad hit out when his daughter Heartbroken pupil Courtney Wright, 12, was told: 'You get to celebrate being British every day, this is for everybody else.' The Year 7 pupil teamed her dress — similar to the one worn by Spice Girl Geri Halliwell in the 1990s, below — with a matching bowler hat. She also planned to read a speech celebrating tea, But the grade-A student was stopped by teachers who gave her the option of wearing a second-hand uniform instead. Courtney refused before her dad Stuart Field, 47, arrived to collect her from Bilton School in Rugby, Warwickshire. He slammed the school for 'virtue signalling' and said he had since received a grovelling apology. The dad of five told The Sun: 'Her head of year bizarrely said that if she had worn a suit of armour or a nurse's outfit, she probably would have been allowed. It's ridiculous. "The irony is they were having a cultural diversity day and yet they singled out a group of people. 'She's a grade-A student and they have vilified her and punished her for being proud of being British.' The school was later It announced it was closing "in the interests of student and staff safety" following threats. The school released a letter to parents on Thursday in which is said it was receiving "extremist abuse online and via our telephone systems". Headteacher Jayne Delves and Ranjit Samra, CEO of Stowe Valley Multi-Academy Trust, both said that members of staff had been threatened. 5 Chris claimed the message he received was "snotty" Credit: SWNS 5 The farmer dubbed the ordeal "ridiculous" Credit: SWNS
