Liam Gallagher, frontman of the iconic band oasis, dedicated a performance of their hit song “Bring It On Down” to hundreds of ticketless fans who gathered at Heaton park to listen to the band’s penultimate Manchester concert.
The gesture came after a fence was installed around the grassy area known as “Gallagher Hill,” a popular spot for spectators to watch the gigs on screens. Despite Manchester City Council’s advice for ticketless fans not to attend due to the obstructed view, crowds still amassed on the slope on Saturday.
Gallagher also made a lighthearted reference to a recent incident at a Coldplay concert, where a stadium camera focused on a couple hugging before they moved out of view, quipping, “We don’t do that… round here.”

Oasis is scheduled to perform their final Manchester concert before continuing their international reunion tour in London at Wembley Stadium.
