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 Manchester Evening News has contacted organisers SJM Concerts for comment. An Oasis fan who shelled out more than £900 for a VIP Heaton Park gig package has told how he and his wife 'only just made it in' to see the band after wristbands ran out.

As Liam, 52, and Noel Gallagher, 58, performed to 80,000 concert-goers in their hometown on Friday night, many more made the musical pilgrimage to experience the gig live and curb the eyewatering prices (ranging up to £350 on the day for last-minute tickets ).
