Liam Gallagher faces huge risk ahead of Oasis' Heaton Park gig which could be 'disaster'

Liam Gallagher faces a major risk ahead of the first Oasis gig at Heaton Park, Manchester this weekend. Liam, 52, faces getting a rocky reception at the Oasis homecoming Manchester gigs - if he continues asking the crowd to "do the Poznan".

The frontman urged all fans at both Cardiff gigs to turn around and bounce up and down during the anthem Cigarettes & Alcohol. He said on Saturday: "I don't ask you to do the Mexican wave or sh*t like that, but I want you to do the poznan so everyone turn around and put your hands on each other. It's 2025, don't be shy. When the tunes start, you jump up and down, it's very easy, you don't need GCSEs."

And he also posted a clip of the Poznan on his official social media with his comments from Friday night where he similarly said: "I want you to do the Poznan, so turn around and put your hands on each other." This gives the impression it could become a tour staple move for fans to jump around during that song.

But the Poznan is a celebration used by Manchester City and at Heaton Park he would be asking a crowd to do it which will contain many thousands of Manchester United football fans.

One music source told the Mirror: "Liam loves seeing the crowd do it, but it will be a higher risk strategy at Heaton Park. It will be no surprise if he does do it or gives City a shout-out on stage because he and Noel are such big fans. Bonehead is the only red(United fan) in the lineup."

On social media, Manchester United fans are already debating the prospect of the Poznan this weekend. One suggested her could never watch Oasis live because they are City fans. But on X, formerly known as Twitter, one said: "I'll be there at Heaton Park and won't be doing the Poznan but doesn't mean I can't enjoy the music?"

Another user called Fenton said: "Oasis surely won't ask the crowd to do the Poznan at Heaton Park will they? Will end in disaster." One fan called Sam said: "You can quite easily support Utd and love Aasis. Just won't catch me doing the Poznan."

The gig will be the first since Noel finally revealed why he and his younger brother decided to end their feud, which started when Noel quit the band in 2009. Before performing at the Rock en Seine festival, he dramatically walked out and said he couldn't work with his brother anymore.

Speaking last weekend, he said that Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs was the mastermind behind the reunion. Noel introduced the band, whilst also joking about the high turnover of drummers Oasis had in the past. He said: "On drums, our 13th official drummer, Joey Waronker.

"On guitar, if it wasn't for him none of this would have f**king happened in the first place, Mr Bonehead." Meanwhile, Liam apologised to fans for the 16-year wait following their last concert. he said: "Hello people, it's been too long." As they broke into fan-favourite Champagne Supernova, their final song of the evening, the lead singer said: "Right you beautiful people, this is it. Nice one for putting up with us over the years, we know we've been difficult. Champagne Supernova, nice one."

The band are supported by 90s group Cast, and former frontman of The Verve, Richard Ashcroft.
