Tickets for Liam Gallagher’s huge homecoming Manchester show went on sale at 9am this morning (Friday November 24), and it’s already a weekend to remember for fans of the ‘As You Were’ star.
Next year, Gallagher returns to Manchester for a show at Emirates Old Trafford LCC Cricket Ground (August 18 2018). It’s one of four huge dates confirmed for next summer, alongside shows at Dublin’s Malahide Castle, Belfast’s Ormeau Park and London Finsbury Park.

A full support line-up for the Old Trafford show will be announced in the coming months. Revealing who he wants to support him at London Finsbury Park, Gallagher said that he wanted a touch of grime. “It can’t all be 90s stuff, man,” said Liam. “We’ve got to mix it up a bit. I’d like to get Skepta playing, have something a bit different.”
After refreshing ticket sites in the early hours, Liam fans initially experienced frustration when they appeared to be kicked off the payment page. Taking to Twitter, several fans vented about their tech nightmare.
