Security has been spotted outside Liam and Noel Gallaghers’ childhood home as fans flooding into Manchester for the band’s legendary reunion gigs have visited the area as part of their pilgrimage to Oasis’s home city.
The house is still lived in by their mother Peggy, who has been there for around 50 years. She has always refused to leave the home where she raised her sons. A security guard was seen patrolling the street outside the Burnage house as fans congregated to snap pictures of the house and take selfies in front of it.
The Gallaghers are back in their hometown ready to perform the first of five gigs at Heaton Park. They will perform there on Friday, July 11 and Saturday, July 12. They will then return to perform there on Wednesday, July 16, Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20.
It follows their historic first gigs on stage together in 16 years at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
Fans filtering out of the Principality Stadium gave glowing reviews to our reporters, describing it as “the best gig ever”, “ten out of ten” and “worth every penny.”
Others described it as “absolutely amazing” and “an emotional, out of body experience.”
The media also lauded the return of the band, with publications across the world united in its assessments to give the gig five stars. This included WalesOnline’s Kathryn Williams who described Liam’s voice as “faultless.” The city was abuzz with Oasis fever for an entire weekend, with merchandise stores, an exhibition of priceless items displayed and its music pumping out of most pubs.
The vibe appears to be the same in Manchester, with the Manchester Evening News reporting how weeks the city has come alive with murals, mosaics, art trails, and pop-up shops and an Oasis fan store.
Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year.
However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot.
Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go can sell their seats, although these tend to go in and out of stock quickly.
Viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub, and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.
