The former Oasis frontman had a few surprises up his sleeve at the first of his Definitely Maybe 30th anniversary dates. Get the highlights here.

Liam Gallagher opened his Definitely Maybe tour with a date at Sheffield's Utilita Arena on Saturday (1st June).

After much anticipation, the Manchester giant did not disappoint, treating Oasis fans old and new to a night of epic proportions to celebrate the Britpop band's seminal debut album.

After filling the arena with The Stone Roses' I Am The Resurrection, throwback clips of a young Gallagher hijacked the screens before the man himself finally took to the stage.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Liam opened his set the best way he knows how; with a stomping performance of the album's opener and favourite live show-starter: Rock 'N' Roll Star.

The Burnage rocker went on to perform a 20-track-set of favourites from the album "mixed up" just as he promised, playing the likes of Columbia, Shakermaker, Up In the Sky and Digsy's Dinner, the latter of which hadn't been performed by since 1995.

Flanked by original Oasis guitarist and the band's co-founder, Bonehead, Liam also treated fans to B-sides such as Cloudburst, I Will Believe, D'Yer Wanna Be A Space Man and (It's Good) To Be Free, which also hadn't had a live outing since the mid 90s.

His estranged brother and former bandmate may have been absent on the night, but Liam made sure to include him in his own way by performing the Noel-sung Oasis B-side and Royle Family theme tune Half The World Away, which he dedicated to his older sibling.

If that wasn't enough of a nod to his older brother, Liam went one step further and performed the Oasis demo version of Lock All The Doors, which of course went on to become a Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' single.

Liam Gallagher treated fans to more album tracks, while returning to the stage for not one but two encores - the first of which consisted of Definitely Maybe's Supersonic, Slide Away and Live Forever.

After leading the Sheffield crowds in a mass singalong of his favourite Oasis track, Liam chose to take his fans back to where it all began, playing the song that ended Oasis' King Tut's set in 1993 and changed the course of his life forever; their cover of The Beatles' I am The Walrus.
