WATCH: Liam Gallagher makes epic live music return with NHS gig in London’s O2

The British rock icon performed ‘Go Let It Out’ for the first time since 2002.

Liam Gallagher made his return to live performance last night (August 17), with a gig for the NHS at London’s O2 arena.

The show was the Oasis frontman’s first live show in eighteen months, and acknowledged NHS workers for their sacrifices during the pandemic. Last night’s show marked the first of two sold out dates at the venue for the singer.

The 48-year old got off to an electric start with Oasis’ staple opener, ‘Hello,’ before launching into a thunderous rendition of ‘Morning Glory.’ Gallagher performed cuts from Oasis’ discography and from his own solo catalogue.

The ‘Songbird’ writer treated fans to his first performance of Oasis’ iconic song ‘Go Let It Out’ as a solo performer. It was also the first time he had played the song since 2002.

Following his second consecutive headline of the O2 tonight (August 18), Gallagher will play a headline set at Reading and Leeds. The Manchester native is slated to appear at Glasgow’s TRNSMT Festival and the Isle of Wright Festival in September for headliners. The Rock n’ Roll star will also play a one-off gig at Belsonic in Belfast’s Ormeau Park.

The Mancunian released his second solo album, Why Me? Why Not in 2019 which featured the hit ‘One Of Us’. It followed up his 2017 solo debut As You Were which marked his return to music since Beady Eye’s split in 2014. The trailer for a documentary about Oasis' historic run of shows at Knebworth was also recently released.
