The Manchester City boss was in the crowd at Heaton Park on Friday night as Oasis played their first homecoming gig in the city since 2005 and his daughter captured a very special moment on video
Pep Guardiola enjoyed a special father-daughter moment with Maria at Oasis’ first homecoming gig in Heaton Park.
Oasis kicked off the first of their Heaton Park comeback shows last night. The five nights are the Gallagher brothers first time playing in their hometown since 2009. The band wowed fans with a nostalgic setlist of their greatest hits, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display that lit up the night sky.
Among the crowd was Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and his daughter who shared a video on Instagram showing the pair singing along to ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ together. The Manchester City manager received several shoutouts during the night, including one from Liam Gallagher, who said: “I’d like to dedicate this to the greatest f***** manager of all time”.

Pep also took a photo with Noel’s and Liam’s children, shared on Gene’s Instagram page. Wearing a retro Manchester City kit and casual denim shorts, Pep looked like a typical concert-going dad as he raised his drink for the photo, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Before the show, a message on the huge screens read: ‘This is not a drill’, followed by a montage of Oasis reunion rumours, newspaper headlines, and finally, the confirmation from last August. As the crowd erupted into cheers, a voice announced: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over.”
The adoring crowd let out a deafening roar as Manchester’s favourite sons took the stage, arms raised and hands clasped together. “Manchester this is it, Manchester in the area,” Liam Gallagher roared as he and his brother Noel led a triumphant Oasis reunion gig.
Before their electrifying comeback at Cardiff earlier in July 2025, the last time Oasis had performed together was back at V Festival in August 2009, ending on a high note with ‘I Am The Walrus’.
Formed in the heart of Manchester in 1991, Oasis quickly became synonymous with the Britpop movement, achieving global fame and influencing countless artists with their seven chart-topping albums over two decades.
The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, have always been at the centre of the band’s success and controversies, known for their captivating performances and songwriting prowess, as well as their notorious sibling rivalry that has provided endless headlines.
Following Oasis’s split in 2009, the Gallaghers went their separate ways, fronting their own bands, Beady Eye and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, respectively.
