Oasis have finally returned to their hometown to perform together for the first time since 2009 as Liam and Noel Gallagher walked out hand in hand once again for their reunion shows

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.

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.
