Oasis Planning City Extravaganza

Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher have revealed they will play in their home city after all following a storm of protest about their latest tour.

The brothers caused anger when their 'Dig Out Your Soul 2008/2009 World Tour' was revealed to be going to Liverpool then Sheffield - but missing out Manchester

But Noel, 41, has now revealed the band would be doing something 'big' in the New Year.

He said: "We've got a big special thing planned for Manchester which we cannot tell you about. I think it will be next year when it's nice and hot."

Speaking about the City of Manchester Stadium Noel told DJs Richard and Luce: "We have been told that the new owners have said they are not having any more concerts at the stadium because they don't need the money.

"I agree with them that they shouldn't have any more concerts there but they should definitely let us play."

Liam and brother Noel, 41, checked into the five-star Lowry Hotel in Salford in preparation for their gig in Sheffield.

And they were later seen out and about on the city centre streets.
