Noel Gallagher played an epic and emotional set at Wythenshawe Park over the weekend (Saturday 27th August).
With a homecoming show four years in the making, even the adverse weather couldn't dampen the spirit of the crowds, who were treated to songs from throughout Noel's solo career as well as the Oasis back catalogue.
Highlights included Noel's stirring rendition of the Liam-sung Oasis hit, Live Forever, and ending on Don't Look Back In Anger, which was sung by his faithful Manchester crowd.
