The news comes as Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) prepare travel arrangements for the five different concert dates.
Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham said: "We’ve not got long to wait now until our city-region hosts the most eagerly awaited homecoming of all time and the excitement is already building here in Greater Manchester.
"It’s brilliant that Liam is lending his legendary vocals to the Bee Network once again and I’d urge everyone to listen out for them when getting off the tram at Heaton Park for the gigs.”
"We want everyone who’s going to have the time of their lives and I’d just like to remind everyone that the best way to get to Heaton Park and back is to take advantage of the public transport options available, as backed by the band themselves."
But this is not the first time the Manchester legend has voiced the announcements on the Bee Network.
In 2023, Liam was involved in voicing the “next stop” announcements on the Ashton line in support of the festival Beyond the Music.
The reunion announcement came 15 years after Noel quit the Britpop band, saying he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer”, following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Today, gates at Heaton Park are expected to open at 3pm, with Cast and the Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft as the support acts, starting from 6pm. Oasis are due on stage at 8:15pm for a 10:30pm curfew.
Noel and Liam Gallagher will be joined on stage by Gem Archer, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and Andy Bell, all former members of Oasis, alongside drummer Joey Waronker, who has previously toured with Liam.
The band will also be backed by a brass section and backing singer Jess Greenfield, who is part of Noel's side project The High Flying Birds.
The dates for the Manchester’s gigs are as follows:
- Heaton Park, Manchester, England - Friday 11 July
- Heaton Park, Manchester, England - Saturday 12 July
- Heaton Park, Manchester, England - Wednesday 16 July
- Heaton Park, Manchester, England - Saturday 19 July
- Heaton Park, Manchester, England - Sunday 20 July
Fabs can still purchase tickets via Ticketmaster’s resale site as well as Viagogo, Vividseats, See Tickets, StubHub, and Twickets.
