Liam Gallagher - Knebworth 22

When he launched his solo career back in 2017, even the notoriously self-assured Liam Gallagher can’t have seen this coming.

Hard to envisage now, but for several years the iconic frontman was regarded as outdated, only to be remembered during talking head shows about the 1990s.

Oasis were done and Beady Eye, after a promising start, weren’t making any waves despite their best efforts. With his older brother taking all the accolades, it seemed that Gallagher Junior’s best hope lay in praying for That reunion.

Fate, however, had other ideas. In 2016 – shortly after his partner Debbie Gwyther had orchestrated a record deal for a solo career – the Supersonic documentary was released, reigniting interest in his former band. As the astonishing success of his debut album As You Were proved the following year, absence had made the heart grow fonder.

Mirroring the meteoric rise of Oasis, a few short years later Liam Gallagher headlined Knebworth, even if it took slightly longer second time around (although without the delays caused by the pandemic, who’s to say it couldn’t have happened sooner).
