Oasis fans able to ‘get the look' at a pop-up barber shop
The pop-up salon, in the Manchester Piccadilly Premier Inn, allowed fans to get the Gallagher brothers' iconic mod cut before heading to the show at the city's Heaton Park.
A professional barber was on hand - fully trained in providing the feathered and shaggy look, complete with long sideburns and a straight fringe.
And before-and-after pictures show a delighted music lover going straight back to the 90s, via their hair at least, alongside a Liam lookalike.
Tracey Bishop, Premier Inn regional manager Greater Manchester, which is welcoming thousands of Oasis fans to its hotels nationwide this summer, said: "From music tours to football tournaments, events always create a massive buzz in our hotels.
"Spirits are sky high in Manchester, and we are excited to be a part of it.
"The team are loving welcoming Oasis fans – the bucket hats are a bit of a giveaway at check-in.
'When you think of Oasis, first you think of the massive tunes, but from hats to parkas second on the list is always going to be their incredible style.
'The hair is as much a part of that as anything, so while we can't make people rock 'n' roll stars – we can at least make them look like one and have a comfy bed waiting at the end of the gig.'
Levon Gill, the barber added: 'It was so much fun giving these fans such an iconic look.
'The mod style is so synonymous with Manchester, it's great to see we are still keeping it alive.
"In our shop we've seen a real resurgence of Oasis style haircuts.
"There have been lot of tourists come in to get one, but they wait until they get to Manchester to make sure to get the real deal.'
The Gallagher brothers shot to fame in the mid-1990s after two colossally successful Oasis albums, Definitely Maybe in 1994 and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? in 1995.
With both Liam and Noel sharing vocal duties, the fractious pair were as famous for their off-stage antics as their music.
Thanks to their working-class attitude, the duo were immediate style sensations, with shaggy hair and parkas defining the look of the era.
The band went through spats and breakups, finally calling things off for good in 2009 after a blazing row between the two brothers following a Paris gig.
In 2024, they announced a reunion tour that sold out in minutes, with fans from around the globe clamouring for tickets.
Tracey added: 'Oasis aren't just a band - they're part of people's life stories.
'Their music and style defined a generation, soundtracked major moments and gave fans a voice when they needed it most.
'These songs have always had the power to unite strangers, whether at a gig, a festival or singing in the street after a night out.
'Bringing people together for something this iconic is electric, and we are so proud to be playing our part in it – it's more than a concert, it's a cultural moment that will never be forgotten.'

Lewis Capaldi puts Noel Gallagher feud behind him at Oasis gig with famous pal
The Scots singer was spotted smiling with The View frontman Kyle Falconer. Lewis Capaldi and Noel Gallagher's infamous public feud hit headlines back in 2019 but appears to now be put to bed as Lewis attended the Oasis Live 25 tour in London. The Someone You Loved singer and The View frontman Kyle Falconer were spotted smiling for the camera at Wembley stadium as they waited for Oasis to take to stage at the weekend. Kyle and his wife Laura shared the snaps on Instagram as the doting dad took his young daughter Wylde to see her favourite band. Many fans would be surprised to see Lewis at the gig given his feud with the eldest Gallagher brother, Noel. Their spat first began when Noel said during an interview on Radio X in 2019 that he didn't know who Capaldi was. Despite Lewis' debut album ,Divinely Unexpired to a Hellish Extent, having just peaked at number one in the UK and Ireland, making it the fastest selling album of the year, Noel said: "Music is f***ing w*** at the moment". He then insulted the Glasgow-born star as he said: "Who's this Capaldi fella? Who the f***'s that idiot?" However, in true Capaldi fashion, the Scots singer left fans rolling about laughing as he took to his Instagram stories to celebrate Noel's comments in a sarcastic manner. While watching the interview, he responded: "F***ing c'mon! F***ing peaked – slagged off by Noel Gallagher! "Number 1 single – who gives a f***? Number 1 album – who gives a f***? Noel Gallagher has just slagged me off. This is dreams coming true." Capaldi didn't stop there as he wished Gallagher a happy Father's Day while he filmed himself enjoying Oasis' 2002 hit 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out'. Noel was quick to hit back with a tweet that poked fun at Capaldi's track Someone You Loved. He captioned the post: "@LewisCapaldi you big daftie. You might wanna try and find some joy in your tunes, you're destroying the 11yr old is in bits." Lewis further tormented the High Flying Birds frontman with a backstage photo beside his then-estranged brother and former Oasis bandmate, Liam Gallagher. A furious Noel referenced Capaldi's stunt in an interview with Variety and took things a step further as he poked fun at Lewis' appearance. He said: "F****** Chewbacca should enjoy his 15 minutes. The greatest day of his life that I slagged him off or called him an idiot. "It's the greatest day of his f****** life so far. He's just thinking 'wow'. "Well, I know you're Scottish and all that but f****** hell. It is like a third world country but for f***'s sake, man, you must have had a better day than this. Surely." Despite their public jibes, Lewis and Noel have met a few times since, with Noel later branding Lewis as a "good lad" despite his previous comments. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

‘Premier League should be trembling' – Fans in meltdown as Pep Guardiola shows off shock new look
PEP GUARDIOLA has sent Premier League fans into meltdown after he debuted a stunning new look. The Manchester City boss is hoping to mastermind his squad back to winning ways next season after finishing third in the league and going trophyless. 3 3 3 City's squad returns to pre-season on July 28 following their exploits in the Club World Cup. But the Spaniard forced fans to do a double take after spotting him with a remarkable new facial feature. Guardiola, 54, ditched his usual beard for a striking moustache. The new look quickly went viral as fans discussed it. One fan said: "The league is not ready for a bald moustache Josep Guardiola." A second said: "You can't just post 'Pep Guardiola' now has a moustache' and expect us to get on with our lives." A third added: "Bro what???" A fourth said: "Premier League should be trembling now." A fifth said: "Pep Guardiola saw the announcement of the start of production for the fourth season of Ted Lasso and decided to pay tribute to his idol." Ted Lasso recently announced its return for a fourth season, but Guardiola previously appeared in the last episode of season three of the Apple TV show, which he is a big fan of. Pep Guardiola and stunning daughter Maria belt out Oasis classic as Man City boss parties with Gallagher family at gig Guardiola could have even been inspired by a moustache he saw in 2021. He told TNT Sports correspondent Fred Caldeira at the time: "I really like your moustache, Fred. "You are so attractive and sexy." And he may be hoping the new look can give City a fresh push towards silverware. City have a pre-season game against Palermo on August 9. They then kick-off their Premier League season with an away trip to Wolves. Tottenham then visit the Etihad for City's first home game of the campaign.
