Noel and Liam Gallagher seen together in new pictures ahead of Oasis reunion tour
Noel and Liam Gallagher have appeared together in new photos ahead of Oasis' hotly-anticipated reunion tour. The band will once again grace the stage with five performances in Heaton Park, where fans have recently discovered if they will be allocated the front row or general admission. New pictures now show the brothers who gave their name to any tumultuous but brilliant double act have once again appeared together, brooding at the camera as part of an Adidas promotional campaign.

Chris Walsh, the vice president of brand at Adidas, said: 'Adidas and Oasis share a story defined by originality and cultural impact, with roots that run deep and have long been entwined in the fabric of music and style. "This official partnership represents more than just two icons coming together; it reignites a timeless piece of cultural music history. 'Original Forever' continues to build on adidas' lasting legacy in music and celebrates the powerful role music and style play in shaping culture across generations." Preparations for the concerts are now well underway, with Heaton Park set to once again receive the band who last played there in 2009. After making it through the lottery to get a ticket at all, fans have since had to wait once again to see where in the concert they will be able to stand. Spots were randomly allocated between the front section and the general admission. Some lucky fans celebrated being able to get up close and personal in the reunion concerts. Taking to social media, one lucky fan wrote: "I got front! Does it mean you're guaranteed front or it's still first come first served but just for people with the allocation." Another posted: "Got front standing in my email - see you all there on the 20th!"

‘Mean' Liam Gallagher branded top BBC DJ a ‘c**t' leaving him ‘floored' as pair's secret feud revealed
OASIS' long-awaited reunion tour kicks off in just two and a half weeks, but don't expect to hear reconciled brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher giving their first chat on Radio 2. The station's breakfast show host Scott Mills revealed he had a falling out with Liam in the late Nineties, when he felt the full force of the singer's acid tongue backstage at Top Of The Pops. 8 8 In his memoir, Love You Bye, Scott recalled: 'I'd met them before and chatted to them briefly, so I thought that might be a bit of an in. 'They were absolutely huge at the time and renowned for being outspoken. Their radio plugger took me over to Liam and said, 'You remember Scott, don't you? You've met him before'. Liam looked me up and down and went, 'Yeah, he's a c*** '.' Reflecting on it now, Scott hopes Liam's behaviour was just a sign of the times, when almost all stars were a nightmare to deal with. In an exclusive chat, he said: 'The Liam Gallagher thing really floored me at the time, because I think it was, like, my second week at Top Of The Pops. 'I think he's completely changed. I actually think I am completely changed, but I think he's probably a nicer man now. 'In the Nineties, it was the thing to be mean. All pop stars now are pretty nice. When I joined Radio 1 in '98, a lot were horrible because that was the thing to do. It doesn't happen any more. 'I can't remember the last time I had an interview that was horrible, or that was hard work. Back then, I used to go down to Top Of The Pops and do the interviews every Thursday. Often, I would be like, 'That was really hard work', or, 'I didn't enjoy that because they were awkward or difficult, or just a bit unpleasant'.' But I suspect that Edinburgh Council bosses will be seeing more of Liam's unpleasant side if his messages on X yesterday are anything to go by. It came after The Sun On Sunday revealed that local authority officials had branded Oasis fans 'drunk', 'lairy', 'fat' and 'old' in secret safety briefings ahead of their three sell-out Murrayfield megagigs in August. Liam said: 'To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude fing stinks. I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot.' I couldn't have put it better myself. MARIAH REVERTS TO TYPE THIRTY-FIVE years since hitting the charts with her debut album, Mariah Carey will pay homage to favourite songs from her back catalogue on her new record, the first since 2018's Caution. And the superstar, who wowed London's Wembley Stadium when she headlined Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard, will have plenty to choose from across her 15 previous albums. 8 A source said: 'It's been a long time coming but MC16 – which is what fans are calling the album – is some of her best work in years. 'Of course she's moved with the times but a few of the tracks pay homage to where she's come from. Fans will love it.' Mariah dropped the first single, Type Dangerous, from the album earlier this month, but I've learned she is already lining up a remix. The savage track sees Mimi sing: 'I came in the door, dripped in Balenci'. Cropped leather coat and some nine inch Fendis. 'The crowd opened up and I started to strut. I need my space, but I'm signing autographs and such.' My insider added: 'If you thought the original version was fire, you've not heard anything yet. 'Mariah has secretly recorded a remix version with a top rapper which is coming out very soon. 'She's keen to make sure this new era is a success and is really proud of the music she's created.' MILEY CYRUS is plotting a very different career if she ever she packs in pop. The End Of The World singer said: 'My dream actually is for when I'm much older, I'd like to have my own glass shop in Italy.' Asked if she has had any lessons in glass-blowing, she revealed it was the next thing on her to-do list following the release of her recent album Something Beautiful. She told the Reclaiming With Monica Lewinsky podcast: 'My very sweet partner, my boyfriend, he got me glass-blowing lessons for my birthday. 'So I'm supposed to start that as this next thing. The album, as it starts to kind of grow up, it's going to be an adult soon. So I've raised it. 'It's been my baby. Now it's in this child state. And then it's going to go off and do what it's going to do without me. 'And then I'm going to start taking my glass courses.' JADE rocked her performance at Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard with the former Little Mix star opening the show at London's Wembley Stadium before artists including Myles Smith, Benson Boone, Zara Larsson and Mariah Carey hit the stage. I was watching the action from Barclaycard's Summertime Suite and Jade absolutely nailed her set – with Angel Of My Dreams going down a storm with the crowd. 8 8 8 Jessie J also performed at the show which was her first public event after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She told her fans she was having surgery in the coming days but used her trademark humour when opening up about her diagnosis, adding: 'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job.' Jessie's set was electric and she got one of the biggest cheers of the night – and rightly so. Jessie, you rock. SABRINA Carpenter has a fight on her hands if she wants to get Manchild a second week at No1. Alex Warren has overtaken her song, which topped the Official Singles chart last Friday, with his runaway hit Ordinary. Insiders said it's a very close call at the moment, with Sabrina not far behind in sales and downloads. ROBBIE Keane is a legend of my beloved Tottenham Hotspur and us fans won't hear a bad word against him. Now he's gone up even further in my estimation for his Soccer Aid antics. The ex-striker's old Spurs gaffer Harry Redknapp told me Robbie was the 'life and soul' of the training camp – even leading some sing-songs. Harry said at training: 'Robbie's a legend. I had an early night, but I think Robbie led the karaoke. He loves it. He's a great character.' When I caught up with Robbie, he admitted he'd been partying with Tom Grennan and DEermot Kennedy the night before. Robbie said: 'I enjoy singing but these guys are on a different level.' Asked if there had been pints flowing, Robbie responded wryly: 'We had a sing-song.' I'll take that as a yes. Never change, Robbie. ROBBIE WILLIAMS and Chesney Hawkes gave the crowds at his show at Bath Royal Crescent a cheeky surprise. Ches joined Rob on stage to perform his No1, The One And Only, before the pair flashed their bellies for fans. Robbie said of Ches: 'He's a f***ing lovely bloke. He's the best.' I'll join you in the fan club, Rob. I love a bit of Ches. Charli's celeb show LIDO Festival was like whack-a-mole with celebs this weekend, as stars including Lewis Capaldi, Paul Mescal and Harris Dickinson gathered to watch Charli XCX. The Brat superstar put on an amazing show in London's Victoria Park. 8 8 Amelia Dimoldenberg was shown on the big screen doing the viral Apple dance, while Diana Vickers was bopping along, too. As Charli raced through anthems including 360 and Von Dutch, she told fans to 'put your f***ing hands up' as the crowd went absolutely nuts, before she brought out Bladee to perform their Rewind remix live for the first time. JUST For One Day: The Live Aid Musical is set up in its new home at London's Shaftesbury Theatre and it's one of the best shows I've seen in ages. It is packed full of hits from the iconic event back in 1985 including songs from Queen, Bob Dylan, Elton John, The Police and Status Quo. Stage star Craig Els is uncanny as cantankerous Bob Geldof but it's Julie Atherton who steals the show as PM Margaret Thatcher. Tickets start from £25 and are on sale now. Go and see it – you won't be disappointed.

Oasis fans called 'fat, drunk and rowdy by council bosses in secret safety briefings' ahead of reunion tour
Oasis fans have reportedly been branded 'fat, drunk and rowdy by council bosses in secret safety briefings' ahead of their reunion tour. Sources claim Edinburgh council officials said fans at the Murrayfield August gigs will be 'mainly middle-aged men who take up more room'. According to The Sun, leaked papers have revealed the councils' fears that acts will pull out of Edinburgh Festival Fringe due to possible clashes with 'rowdy' punters heading to Oasis show nearby. The secret planning briefings reportedly warn: 'Concerned about the safety of the Fringe and its performers. Many performers are considering not attending for that weekend. 'There is concern about crowds as they are already rowdy and the tone of the band. Middle-aged men take up more room. Consider this when working out occupancy.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. MailOnline has contacted The City Of Edinburgh Council for comment. As per the publication, one die-hard Oasis fan blasted the 'sneering' comments. David Walker, 44, of the Oasis Collectors Group reportedly said: 'To call fans drunk, middle-aged, and fat is a nasty, sneering stereotype — it's a jaundiced view. 'People want to have a great time. If reports of councillors' drunken parties are anything to go by, they'd be better keeping their opinions to themselves. 'The fanbase has changed a lot - there's a new generation of young fans for a start, and parents are wanting to introduce their kids to Oasis for the first time.' Liam and Noel Gallagher are set to reunite in July for their first tour in 16 years, dubbed Oasis Live '25, after finally burying the hatchet last year. Oasis split following a backstage disagreement between the Gallagher brothers at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009. Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events over the past decade and rehearsals are now well and truly underway. It comes after Liam revealed exactly how Oasis rehearsals are going during a Q&A on X on Sunday, and gave a surprise nod to his brother Noel. Liam and Noel have also been joined in rehearsals by Oasis bassist Andy Bell, guitarists Gem Archer and Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, and drummer Joey Waronker. Sharing an update with his 3.8million followers, Liam revealed that the band are being 'professionals' ahead of their first show on July 4. He penned: 'Yesterday was spiritual. Very professional we're just ripping it up to ras. Were professionals no time for drinking.' The pair are reuniting for a huge world tour, and have dates booked across the UK, America, South America and Asia in 2025.

As Oasis prepare to return to their Manchester roots on tour - these are the humble homes of northern band stars
Oasis are set to take to the stage in their hometown of Manchester next month as part of their highly-anticipated reunion tour. While the brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, will rake in millions thanks to ticket sales, merchandise and even a documentary - it wasn't always this way. The brothers might currently have an estimated net worth of around £60m between them but were raised on a south Manchester council estate, by their mother Peggy - a £1-a-week cleaner. Over the years, Noel and Liam - whose older brother Paul also works in the music industry - have both made reference to their 'horrific' childhood in interviews. And despite Noel and Liam's repeated attempts to buy their mother a new home over the years, Peggy has always insisted on remaining in the same council house in Manchester. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Gallagher brothers aren't the only Manchester based stars to come from humble beginnings. From Simply Red's Mick Hucknall to Mark Owen of Take That and even Harry Styles, many famous faces grew up in Manchester. Mick, 65, who rose to international fame as the pop band's lead singer, once told of how his mother walked out of the family home when he was just three years old leaving him to be raised by his father in Denton, Manchester. Following his success with Simply Red, he went on to purchase a home in Chorlton, not far from his favourite football team, Manchester United. The house, which he bought for £70,000 back in 1997, is detached and features two huge bay windows on the front. Also in Chorlton, brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb of The Bee Gees lived in a terraced house on Keppel Road for seven years. They went on to make their debut performance as The Rattlesnakes in 1957 at the former Gaumont cinema in the area. Oldham-raised Mark Owen may have traded rainy Manchester in favour of Los Angeles but he was once just a northern kid who lived in a terraced house. Further out of town, in the village and civil parish of Holmes Chapel, One Direction's Harry Styles grew up in a quaint three-bedroom property. In March the mid-terraced property was listed for sale for £350,000 and was previously on the market in November 2023. 'With neutral decor throughout, offering ready to walk into accommodation which comprises of a living room to the front with feature fire place and a box bay window, while to the rear is the heart of this home - an open plan living and dining kitchen,' the estate agents, Gascoigne Halman said. Harry is now believed to reside in north London having moved out of the family home soon after rising to fame with One Direction.
