Liam Gallagher announces new album, for “biblical” solo concert

LONDON – Twenty-five years after British rock band Oasis performed two historic concerts for 250,000 people in Knebworth Park, former singer Liam Gallagher said on Friday he would return to the site for what has been described as his biggest solo concert.

The 49-year-old, who has also announced the release of a new album, will perform next June at Knebworth Park in Hertfordshire, north London, with singer Michael Kiwanuka and the bands Kasabian, Goat Girl and Fat White Family opening the stage.

Gallagher faced Oasis with his brother Noel. The band, known for hits like “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” performed two concerts at Knebworth Park in 1996, which were revisited in a documentary last month marking their 25th anniversary.

“Oasis Knebworth 1996” recalled how the concerts, described by online music site NME as “a defining concert for the era that will live forever”, sold out in less than a day with around 2% of the total. British people trying to get tickets.

Oasis, who formed in Manchester in 1991, was at the height of ’90s British pop fame after releasing their first two albums “Definitely Maybe” and “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” which topped the UK charts.

Liam and Noel’s high-profile feuds led the group to go their separate ways in 2009.

“I am absolutely delighted to announce that on June 4, 2022, I will be playing at Knebworth Park. It’s going to be biblical, ”said Gallagher in a statement, which described the upcoming concert as“ the greatest show of Liam’s solo career to date ”.

Gallagher has performed at music festivals this summer, including the twin events in Reading and Leeds.

He will release his third solo album “C’MON YOU KNOW” at the end of May 2022. JB
