Liam Gallagher to return to Knebworth for massive gig on four-day bank holiday next summer

Liam Gallagher will be returning to Knebworth Park, the site of the historic Oasis gigs of 1996. 

In the wake of the release of his new album, ‘C’MON YOU KNOW’, the Mancunian frontman took to Twitter to reveal that he will be taking to the iconic Knebworth stage over two decades on from the famous Oasis gigs.

He wrote: “I’m absolutely buzzing to announce that on 4th June 2022 I’ll be playing Knebworth. It’s gonna be biblical. C’mon You Know. LG x”.

Speaking on Radio X this morning, Gallagher recalled his brother’s famous statement during the original Oasis shows at Knebworth in 1996, saying: “It’s going to be ‘This is history’ – Part Two, mate!”

He added: “The young folk want it. They’re always telling me, when are you gonna do this Knebworth thing? I think the time is now or never.”

Gallagher admitted that he is ‘excited’ for the upcoming gig, saying: “I mean I’ve done it before and it was mega. The beautiful thing about it is, I couldn’t remember much about the first time. So I get the chance to do it again. Obviously I’m older and a little bit wiser. I’m gonna milk it, really take it in. I’m buzzing, man.”

The Knebworth Park performance next year will be the biggest of Gallagher’s solo career to date, and will fall across the extended four-day-long Bank Holiday weekend of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Gallagher will be joined by a whole line-up of artists and performers, including  Kasabian, Michael Kiwanuka, Fat White Family and Goat Girl.

Tickets go on general sale next week on Friday October 8th at 9am through TicketMaster and LiveNation.
