Liam Gallagher announces huge support acts for upcoming Manchester show



Huge support acts have been announced for Liam Gallagher‘s upcoming homecoming show at Manchester’s Lancashire County Cricket Club. 

The former Oasis-turned solo star will be heading back to Manchester in August, playing to 50,000 fans at the legendary venue. Now, it’s been confirmed that he’ll be joined by The Verve‘s Richard Ashcroft, as well as hometown grime star Bugzy Malone and Manc guitar band Twisted Wheel.

The show follows his appearance at this summer’s Rize Festival, and will take place on Saturday August 18.

Speaking last year about who he wanted to support him at the upcoming summer dates, Gallagher said: “It can’t all be 90s stuff, man. We’ve got to mix it up a bit. I’d like to get Skepta playing, have something a bit different.” Aschcroft has recently been supporting Gallagher on a string of US tour dates. The former Verve frontman recently hit out at brother Noel after he called out artists who don’t write their own songs.
