As the sun set over Heaton Park last night, the darkness enveloping the stage, and the final chords of Champagne Supernova rang out across the Papal Field, the night sky suddenly became alive as a stunning firework display closed out night one of Oasis in Manchester.

Liam and Noel Gallagher took to the stage hand-in-hand in Manchester as Oasis played their home city for the first time in 16 years in front of a crowd of more than 80,000.

The launch of their debut album Definitely Maybe over three decades prior encapsulated an era, sparking a sense of hope and possibility - now, their reunion resonates with similar sentiments. For many of the fans at Heaton Park on Friday (July 11), they were either too young or not even born when Oasis first made waves in the UK music scene.
