Liam and Noel Gallagher’s children showcased their tight-knit bond in a viral “pic of the century” backstage at Manchester’s Heaton Park ahead of Oasis’ first hometown reunion show. The photo, shared by Liam’s youngest son Gene, 24, featured siblings Lennon, 25, and cousins Anais, 25, Donovan, 17, and Sonny, 14, alongside Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. Guardiola sported a retro City jersey, fueling excitement for the football season. Gene humorously captioned the snap: *“Pic of the century, alright? Now everyone else f*k off.”

While Liam’s daughter Molly, 27, was absent, the moment highlighted the family’s unity despite the brothers’ infamous feud. Liam shares Gene and Lennon with ex-partners Nicole Appleton and Patsy Kensit, while Noel’s children include Anais (with ex-wife Meg Mathews) and Donovan and Sonny (with Sara MacDonald). Both Gallaghers are in long-term relationships—Liam with Debbie Gwyther and Noel with Sally Mash.

Gene, a musician in the band Villanelle, previously opened for Noel’s solo tour after earning his approval. “He said I could support him only if I was good—otherwise, I’d just ‘cringe’,” Gene recalled.

Oasis Mania Hits Manchester
The historic Heaton Park gigs—part of their global reunion tour—drew 80,000 fans nightly. Crowds camped for hours in 28°C heat, with tram delays and chaotic queues. Spirits stayed high as attendees sang Oasis anthems, many clad in bucket hats and parkas. Gates opened five hours early, allowing fans to secure prime spots.

Tour Controversy & Dates
The tour has faced backlash over strict press photography rules, leading major agencies to boycott coverage. Despite this, demand remains sky-high, with UK/Ireland dates including:

• July 2025: Cardiff, Manchester (6 shows), London (Wembley).
• August 2025: Edinburgh, Dublin.
• September 2025: London (Wembley encore).

As Oasis reignites Britpop nostalgia, the Gallagher clan’s unity—and that iconic photo—prove some bonds outlast even the fiercest rivalries.
