Liam Gallagher calls out ticketless fans gathering on 'Gallagher Hill'
Liam Gallagher acknowledged all the fans who gathered on the newly dubbed "Gallagher Hill" during Oasis' penultimate Heaton Park show on Saturday, July 19. The legendary duo played the fourth date of their five-night residency at the Manchester park last night. By the end of their final show tonight, July 20, close to 350,000 people will have descended on north Manchester to watch Oasis play. However, despite pleas for people not to, thousands of ticketless fans have been heading to the park to listen to the music, be part of the occasion and soak up the atmosphere. A spot in the park has been nicknamed "Gallagher Hill" after it has become a mecca for those without a ticket wanting to be part of the event that has taken over Manchester in the last week, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Some accused city council chiefs of 'gatekeeping.' However the town hall said the measures were needed 'to protect the environment from further damage' as well as to 'dissuade people from gathering there.' The title of the Oasis classic 'Don't Look Back in Anger' was later spray-painted on the fence. And despite further pleas for those without tickets not to travel to the area, it was busier than ever with thousands gathering on the hill last night. People brought picnics, deckchairs and their families to the gathering. And Liam last night dedicated one of their songs to those who had come. "If you lot are listening on the hill... bring it on down," he said, before the band kicked in to the song of the same name from Definitely Maybe. Some police and security stood guard around the fence, but nobody was seen trying to climb it. Liam also referenced the 'Kiss cam' controversy at a Coldplay gig in the US, where a company CEO was awkwardly filmed embracing a colleague before they both dived out of view. "We don't do here," he said. Oasis are playing their final show at Heaton Park tonight before the tour moves down to Wembley Stadium in London.
