There was defo more than 80,000 there yesterday never seen anything quite like it on that level and the sound was brilliant . Liams voice is back and the set being abit more mellow helps him but reckon his acknowledgement of that hashimotos as fixed him considerably

Does anyone think they’ll release a Knebworth live album?

Our tickets didn’t even get scanned so theoretically could have passed them on. Security was v light. Yeah and at the end the lack of any personnell at all just was a bit worrying. Like, everyone just wanted to get out and get home, but not having any direction other than those signs wasn't ideal. Feel for people who drove but they shut the road off to make sure people could get back to Stevenage for trains - just wish they'd have told people that before. The lack of communication before the gig really was poor. But the day itself was unbelievable. My "highlight": some female dickhead and her son driving in the middle of the car queue with a stolen clubcar - almost damaging cars.. then she left and other dickheads continued the "fun"... no security or any official did something for at least 30 minutes.... |

Didn't listen to the full gig yet but Champagne Supernova was great. Sounded much better than in 1996.

Without doubt, the most shambolically organised gig ever.

Looking at one of the clips on Twitter from last night it looks like the gig was being filmed as there was cameras there.

Massive night again!! Was slightly nervous he'd used all the energy for the first night, but the second one was equally, if not better than the first one. He's just unstoppable at the moment. He seemed more relaxed tonight, bantering a lot with the crowd.
Same setlist as yesterday. Kasabian mega aswell, getting great reception from the crowd. There was a drone filming both yesterday and today som hopefully a pro recording could be on the cards 🙏

Without doubt, the most shambolically organised gig ever. What happened?? Train cancellations due to trespassers. Took 2.5hrs to get there from Kings cross. Then I'm sorry, but a 50min wall each way to n from the gig is a joke. And then about 2 trains running back from Stevenage. Shambles. |

Didn't hear about this but hopefully she is ok. still not been found as far as I've heard. According to girls mum she was with her dad and he stopped to pick something up and she just disappeared into crowd and got separated. 13yo. Hopefully just enjoying gig and nothing serious. |

Firstly I hope that girl is found safe. I took my 15 year old step daughter tonight and it makes you realise how quickly things can go wrong.
On the gig, he was brilliant, the band were brilliant and the crowd were brilliant. It really doesn’t get much better than that.
I didn’t notice anything really poor with the organisation. Got in ok, got out ok.

Absolutely incredible night, felt like I was living my childhood dream.
Surprisingly had no issues getting there and managed to catch the train at 11:40pm without leaving early, can't complain about anything

Said I wouldn’t bother after Wednesday.. Well I’m a liar.
Brilliant gig, glad I went. Don’t think I’d visit Knebworth again tho!
Agree the organisation was a shambles, 1 bar ran out of alcohol and the other ran out of cups!

Telegraph Review:
Liam Gallagher’s triumphant return to Knebworth almost felt like an Oasis reunion Oasis may never get back together but that didn't stop Liam Gallagher from giving the people what they want: the band's biggest hits“Do we have any Oasis fans on the field?” asked Liam Gallagher, laying claim to perhaps the most rhetorical of questions. “Any from 1996?” The roar from the crowd suggested Gallagher was not the only one returning to the scene of his former band’s greatest triumph: the Britpop-defining Knebworth concerts held 26 years ago in the very same Stevenage stately home.
Few back then would have put money on Liam being the first Gallagher brother to sell out this crowd again following the band’s acrimonious split in 2009. Songwriter sibling Noel was always the brains behind the anthems and has refused to reform Oasis – or even reconcile with his younger brother – ever since. But Liam’s trump card is understanding just how much his past means to so many. He realises it doesn’t really matter who’s on drums (or maybe, in the ultimate insult to Noel, who’s on guitar), so long as he performs the songs people want to hear.
While Gallagher is about to turn 50, suffers from such chronic arthritis and is considering a double hip replacement, there were moments last night when it felt like no time had passed since the Nineties. On the big screen, he looked barely a day over 29, all sideburns and sunglasses, wrapped in a white Parka coat and brandishing his trademark tambourine. The largely male audience were happy to relive their Nineties glory days too, back in their bucket hats, arms around each other and drinking enough to forget they’d gained children and a mortgage since they were last at Knebworth.
The nearly two-hour set list didn’t let them down. Gallagher wisely sandwiched solo material between meaty chunks of Oasis songs, kicking off with a trio of full-throttle, ground-shakers: Hello, Rock ‘N Roll Star and Morning Glory. Though Gallagher’s latest solo album C’Mon You Know is currently perched at the top of the album charts, it seemed he would rather have been here with Oasis than on his own.
Yet his solo material isn’t entirely an afterthought. Three albums in, Gallagher has diligently carved out new classics for those who want more of the same. Last night, Wall of Glass, Everything’s Electric and Once more than held their own, bellowed by the crowd as much as any Oasis hit. More Power was particularly striking for its sensitive lyrics buried in a wall of sound. But others, like Diamond In The Dark, felt like filler.
Still, Gallagher’s impeccable rock star swagger never wavered, hands either clamped firmly behind his back or menacingly rattling a pair of maracas. His banter between songs was, as ever, kept to a minimum – a shame considering Gallagher’s acerbic humour has always saved him from sliding into rock star parody. He briefly dedicated songs to his mum, his beloved Man City, his fiancée Debbie Gwyther and “the Stevenage massive”. Most touchingly, he told us Rock ‘N Roll Star was for former Oasis guitarist Bonehead, who was supposed to join him on stage but is undergoing treatment for tonsil cancer.
By the encore, the fans got exactly what they came for. A brazen barrage of the biggest Oasis hits had the crowd bouncing on a sea of flattened paper pint glasses, singing every word so loudly Gallagher was sometimes drowned out completely. “Biblical, biblical, biblical,” he marvelled midway through a deafening rendition of Wonderwall.
This may have been the closest we’ll ever get to an Oasis reunion. |

I won’t put the truly awful Times review here (the snark is off the charts) but The Guardian one is in the middle: 3 stars Liam Gallagher review – Knebworth return shows Britpop isn’t timeless
Back at the stately home where Oasis basked in glory in 1996, Liam’s solid solo material can’t quite conjure the same magic ‘It’s good to be back,” Liam Gallagher snarls, waggling his tambourine at the massed hordes of Knebworth for the first time in 26 years, and you can well believe it. Five years ago Liam was begging his estranged brother Noel on Twitter to reform the Manchester rock titans as if the bailiffs were coming through the windows. Today he has his fourth No 1 solo album with C’mon You Know and is undoubtedly the bigger name. There was only one place to celebrate: the old Oasis glory grounds of 1996.
In a near identical white outfit to the one he wore last time, piling into an opening run of Hello, Rock’n’Roll Star and Morning Glory pumped with intense determination, Gallagher sells his Knebworth comeback as a recreation of Oasis’s legendary weekend here – the pinnacle of Britpop – and a mark of his solo career as an equivalent cultural phenomenon. But the numbers hardly match up. Too big for anywhere else, Oasis received enough ticket requests to play 16 nights here in 1996, whereas Liam could have comfortably fit tonight’s 80,000 fans into numerous stadia where a mild breeze doesn’t make Some Might Say feel like Ménière’s disease. Y
You could argue we’re foot-fodder in the world’s biggest ever sibling point-scoring exercise.
The day’s bill plays out much like Liam’s set. Australian punks Amyl and the Sniffers provide an adrenal rush of early-doors excitement. Kasabian deliver the reliable (electro-glam) ladrock big hitters. In between, Paolo Nutini covers Half the World Away.
Much of Liam’s solo material has the uncanny feel of a pro writer’s Radio X-optimised crack at an Oasis song. Wall of Glass, for instance, is Oasis via ELO – no bad thing. Shockwave and C’Mon You Know could have been produced by a Noel Gallagher AI on “glam stomp” setting. Diamond in the Dark is someone’s idea of Oasis doing something from Arctic Monkeys’ AM, complete with faux Noel nonsense lyrics: “I’m floating like a lion in the ark, I’m walking round in circles through the park”. Sgt Pepper rocker Why Me? Why Not even segues neatly, tonight, into the Beatles’ Come Together.
Between brief bursts of 90s singalongs, including the resurrection of bombastic 2000 rarity Roll It Over, Liam lumps these own-brand-Oasis tracks into wearying chunks. C’mon You Know, his most convincing album yet, provides welcome additions – Dave Grohl co-write Everything’s Electric, the pop Tomorrow Never Knows of Better Days and the genuinely great gospel rocker More Power, which could have been chipped off Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Of the solo tunes, though, only the stirring Once is welcomed anywhere near as rapturously as the closing cascade of Oasis classics, where Supersonic, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Live Forever and a majestic Champagne Supernova – with the Stone Roses’ John Squire adding liquid licks, just as he did in 1996 – give Knebworth ’22 a real taste of those Britpop glory days; even though, unless you’re downwind, it all sounds like a man with a momentous canon in a world of soup.
Some history, it turns out, is unrepeatable. |
