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

Last night (July 11), the Gallagher brothers - alongside Bonehead, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker - kicked off their first of five shows at Heaton Park in spectacular fashion. It marked their first show in Manchester since 2009 and since their split the same year.

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 ).
