Pep Guardiola's daughter shares wholesome moment with dad at Oasis gig
The Manchester City boss was in the crowd at Heaton Park on Friday night as Oasis played their first homecoming gig in the city since 2005 and his daughter captured a very special moment on video Pep Guardiola enjoyed a special father-daughter moment with Maria at Oasis ' first homecoming gig in Heaton Park. Oasis kicked off the first of their Heaton Park comeback shows last night. The five nights are the Gallagher brothers first time playing in their hometown since 2009. The band wowed fans with a nostalgic setlist of their greatest hits, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display that lit up the night sky. Among the crowd was Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and his daughter who shared a video on Instagram showing the pair singing along to 'Don't Look Back in Anger' together. The Manchester City manager received several shoutouts during the night, including one from Liam Gallagher, who said: "I'd like to dedicate this to the greatest f***** manager of all time". Pep also took a photo with Noel's and Liam's children, shared on Gene's Instagram page. Wearing a retro Manchester City kit and casual denim shorts, Pep looked like a typical concert-going dad as he raised his drink for the photo, reports the Manchester Evening News. Before the show, a message on the huge screens read: 'This is not a drill', followed by a montage of Oasis reunion rumours, newspaper headlines, and finally, the confirmation from last August. As the crowd erupted into cheers, a voice announced: "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over." The adoring crowd let out a deafening roar as Manchester's favourite sons took the stage, arms raised and hands clasped together. "Manchester this is it, Manchester in the area," Liam Gallagher roared as he and his brother Noel led a triumphant Oasis reunion gig. Before their electrifying comeback at Cardiff earlier in July 2025, the last time Oasis had performed together was back at V Festival in August 2009, ending on a high note with 'I Am The Walrus'. Formed in the heart of Manchester in 1991, Oasis quickly became synonymous with the Britpop movement, achieving global fame and influencing countless artists with their seven chart-topping albums over two decades. The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, have always been at the centre of the band's success and controversies, known for their captivating performances and songwriting prowess, as well as their notorious sibling rivalry that has provided endless headlines. Following Oasis's split in 2009, the Gallaghers went their separate ways, fronting their own bands, Beady Eye and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, respectively.

Oasis gigs in Manchester this weekend sees major rule change for all ticket holders
Oasis are set to return home to play Manchester's Heaton Park this weekend for their five show run in the city and the weather is to be scorching This weekend will see the historical return of one of the UK's most famous bands as Oasis finally return home to Manchester for the first of their five huge shows. Liam and Noel Gallagher will head to the city this Friday and Saturday night as a part of their Oasis Live '25 tour. Following on from their huge opening shows in Cardiff last week, Oasis will be back on their home turf as excited fans finally get the moment they've been waiting for after 16 years. Prior to their reunion last week, the last time the Gallagher brothers played together was at V Festival in August of 2009. Their 19-song set list for their comeback tour includes huge hits like Rock 'n' Roll Star and Wonderwall, and they concluded their last show with I Am The Walrus. The tour was announced last august, two days before the 30th anniversary of their debut album Definitely Maybe and it's safe to say there's been a huge interest in securing tickets. Oasis Live '25 was the biggest concert launch ever seen in the UK and Ireland and attracted over ten million fans who were desperate to be in with a chance of attending one of the biggest music tours in years, the M.E.N reports. Those attending the Manchester shows will be able to enter the park from 3pm onwards. Cast will play at 6pm, followed by Richard Ashcroft at 7pm, and Oasis at 8:15pm with curfew for the venue being 10:30pm. Ahead of the highly anticipated gigs at Heaton Park this weekend, the event organisers have issued a number of updates for ticket holders attending the first two events. As temperatures this weekend are forecast to be very hot, one major rule has changed surrounding bringing in water to Heaton Park on show days. Prior to the forecast this week, which is set to see highs of 30C and 31C on Friday and Saturday, the guidance was that fans were welcome to bring in an empty plastic bottle, to refill at one of the water stations. However, it has now been updated that those attending are allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml. However, it must be collapsible plastic as solid plastic, metal etc containers will not be permitted on the grounds of safety. Bottles with broken seals will be emptied, and there is free water to refill your bottle on site. There will also be water cups available from the welfare tent to use at the refill points. Concert goers are also urged to wear suncream and will be permitted to bring in a small bottle of sun cream of 200ml or under. Fans have also been advised to bring a hat, which is not unusual for a bucket hat loving Manchester crowd. Organisers are also expecting large crowds in attendance so ticket holders are urged to allow plenty of time to travel and to arrive early.
