Liam Gallagher is back and he’s heading out on a massive UK tour next year, with not one but THREE Manchester dates on the lineup.
Liam Gallagher is a name that needs no introduction, right? The enigmatic former Oasis frontman has been absolutely no stranger to stepping on the biggest stages of them all and performing in front of record-breaking crowds throughout his illustrious career.
Just last year, the 51-year-old rocker returned to the iconic Knebworth Park to play a series of “biblical” gigs that went on to be some of the biggest live events of 2022.
And now, the king of Manchester is back at it again, as he’s just been revealed as the latest headliner in the Co-op Live’s massive opening season next year.
JUST ANNOUNCED: @LiamGallagher – 'DEFINITELY MAYBE 30 YEARS'
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of Oasis’s massively influential debut album, Definitely Maybe, Liam will be embarking upon the ‘Definitely Maybe 30 Years’ arena tour in 2024.

He’ll be playing the album in full for the first time ever.
The sets will, of course, be packed with classics like ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Star’, ‘Live Forever’, ‘Supersonic’, and ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’, but there’ll also be a unique opportunity to see other album tracks and B-sides that have rarely, if ever, been performed since the mid-90s – including ‘Up In The Sky’ and ‘Digsy’s Dinner’.
Liam says he’s “bouncing around the house” with excitement as he announces the new tour.
He added: “The most important album of the ‘90s bar none. I wouldn’t be anywhere without it and neither would you, so let’s celebrate together LG x”

An interactive jury experience is happening in Manchester – and it’s selling out FAST
Danny Jones
Yes, you might have heard about different bits of ‘immersive theatre’ here in Manchester before, you may have even tried some of them before, but have you ever been part of an interactive jury experienceinspired by true events?
Didn’t think so.
We’ve come across some pretty unorthodox performance art in our time – the soon-to-arrive Star Wars burlesque show being just one recent example; having said that, this might be one of the coolest concepts around right now.
Calling the next case into court, we have ‘The Jury Experience: Diamonds, Lies, and a Dead Man’, which combines a live crime thriller with the classic jewel heist format, whodunnit tropes and more.
Organised by Fever Events and scripted and staged with help from award-winning creative directors, Les Enfants Terribles, this latest edition of The Jury Experience is one of just many in a long line of intriguing courtroom dramas that YOU get to take part in.
We don’t want to give too much away and spoil the magic, but let’s just say you get to play a key role in seeing who goes down for the theft or a multi-million dollar family treasure.
Using your phone and/or paddles to cast your votes and sway decisions, there aren’t just key moments – the audience themselves are the final verdict.
Think you handle the responsibility, or better still, will you relish the sense of power?
As for ‘Diamonds, Lies, and a Dead Man’, here’s your teaser: “You’ve been called for jury duty. Scandal brews as a disgraced ex-driver stands trial for stealing global superstar Lana Tonneti’s $20m necklace.
“But is Lana telling the truth? Throughout the show, analyse witness testimonies, examine the evidence, answer complex questions, and try to uncover what really happened.
“Every word matters. Every detail counts. And at the end, you must cast the vote that determines the fate of the accused.”
Taking place at the stunning Stoller Hall and lasting just over an hour, this strictly 12+ event (kids under 19 must be accompanied by an adult)
While tickets to the first two productions this month have already sold out, tickets for the March and April nights are still available. You can find out more about dates, timings, and other cases, as well as grab your tickets right HERE.
