Meanwhile, Gallagher has teased he'll knock Fender's debut album from the top of the album charts.

Ahead of the intimate show, the pair caught up and talked about how it felt the moment they scored a debut number one album, with Gallagher recalling his reaction to hitting the top spot with Definitely Maybe.

Looking back to how he felt over the success of the 1994 Oasis album, Gallagher mused: "I don't know man. We were just out and about. Obviously we were made up and that, 'cause that's what you want innit? But we knew it was a good record…"

The Shockwave singer added: "We were partying all the way up to it and we were partying all the way after it”.

Gallagher then turned the tables on the Geordie singer, asking him how it felt to score a debut number one and Fender replied: "It's kinda mad. I don't feel much different... Why am I fucking lying to you? I feel mental mate."

The Manchester legend nodded sagely and said: "Yeah, it's hard to put your finger on mate," before quipping: "You'll probably realise when you're number two next week."
