Rock Out with Liam Gallagher at Lidl: Supermarket Chain Steps Up to Host Oasis Tribute Shows in Manchester Store!
Manchester’s music scene has been buzzing with excitement over the opening of the new ‘state-of-the-art’ concert venue, Co-Op Live. However, recent technical issues have caused a string of cancellations and postponements, leaving both fans and artists disappointed. Acts like Peter Kay, The Black Keys, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and Olivia Rodrigo have all been affected by the venue’s ongoing problems. Local legends Take That have even decided to move their upcoming shows to a different venue.
The uncertainty surrounding Co-Op Live’s readiness has raised concerns among music fans, especially with Liam Gallagher’s 30th-anniversary tour of Oasis’ iconic album, ‘Definitely Maybe,’ scheduled to take place there. Despite the doubts, Gallagher remains confident, reassuring fans that the show will go on. In a cheeky response to a fan’s question about contingency plans, Gallagher jokingly suggested holding the gig in a Lidl store.
Lidl, the supermarket chain, has since embraced the idea, offering to apply for a late-night license to host the event. They even proposed a modified setlist featuring pun-tastic song titles like ‘Some Might Save,’ ‘Champagne Superoffer,’ and ‘Lidl By Lidl.’ It’s a humorous twist to a potentially tricky situation, showcasing the community spirit and creativity that defines the Manchester music scene.
The iconic ‘Definitely Maybe’ album, released in 1994, holds a special place in music history, selling over 2.4 million copies in the UK alone. With hit singles like ‘Supersonic,’ ‘Shakermaker,’ ‘Live Forever,’ and ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol,’ the album is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
Despite the challenges faced by Co-Op Live, the showbiz spirit of Manchester prevails. Artists, fans, and even supermarket chains are coming together to ensure that the music keeps playing. With Liam Gallagher at the helm, the ‘BIBLICAL SON OF MANCHESTER’ is ready to rock the stage, no matter where the venue may be.
