Lovers of Oasis are eagerly awaiting the chance to see the iconic frontman again after he promised to perform all the songs from Definitely Maybe to celebrate 30 years since the release of Oasis’ debut album. Before taking to the stage, Liam gave fans in the arena a countdown from 2024 to 1994, the Mirror reports.

Liam and his band, which includes original Oasis guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, kicked off the gig at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena with the star’s Rock ‘N’ Roll anthem. Taking to the stage, Liam in true form opted for a baggy coat. When the clock struck in 1994, Liam appeared on screen in his Oasis days.

After opening his concert, Liam later performed a second Oasis track, Columbia, to the sold-out crowd.

Earlier in the evening, before Liam started belting out classic Oasis music, Liverpool band Cast were the main support act, with the first band of the night on stage called Villanelle, which is Liam’s son Gene’s band.

Heading into the weekend, The Mirror told how singer Liam, now 51, opted for a healthy diet and running sessions ahead of the start of his Oasis anniversary tour. Liam and his long-term partner Debbie have moved to the Cotswolds while their London home is being renovated and it has coincided with a change of heart for Liam ahead of the epic tour.

A source close to the singer said: “He takes a lot of walks in the country with their rescue dog Buttons and eats healthy, cuts down on alcohol and goes for bike rides and runs. He knows how quickly these Definitely Maybe concerts sold out and wants to sell out. be epic performances.”

“Rehearsals have gone really well and now he can’t wait to get on stage and have it.” Liam himself said the rehearsals “sounded and felt BIBLICAL” and he now hopes to continue this on stage for a tour which will also play in Cardiff, Manchester, Glasgow, London and Dublin.

Tickets sold out almost instantly, but those unlucky enough not to go in the coming weeks could get the chance to see Liam perform Oasis tunes next year as the band’s second album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? It will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2025.

Earlier this year, Liam promised to celebrate all the albums, with or without brother Noel on stage. He told Mojo magazine: “It’s up to the universe. It’s going to happen when it’s going to happen. It’s out of our hands. I like the nostalgia though. I do a lot. Every album…”.

“You never enjoy them the first time, so I’ll milk a lot.”
