Oasis' 'Definitely Maybe' was an era-defining hit when it was released in August 1994 - at that time becoming the fastest-selling debut album in British music history.

Three decades later there is no sign of the squabbling Gallagher siblings burying the hatchet to reform the band, but younger brother Liam has now taken matters into his own hands to mark the album's birthday.

Is there a presale?

Customers of OVO Energy can take advantage of a presale starting at 9am on Wednesday, October 18, here.

What's the likely setlist?

Givem the title of the tour, expect to hear every song from 'Definitely Maybe', as follows.

  1. Rock 'n' Roll Star
  2. Shakermaker
  3. Live Forever
  4. Up in the Sky
  5. Columbia
  6. Supersonic
  7. Bring It On Down
  8. Cigarettes & Alcohol
  9. Digsy's Dinner
  10. Slide Away
  11. Married with Children

Liam has also said that he'll be performing other songs from the same era, so expect b-side and non-album hits such as ‘Whatever’ and 'Half A World Away', as well as deep cuts such as ‘Fade Away’, ‘Listen Up’ and ‘Sad Song’.

And, given that Liam tends to be a crowd pleaser, don't bet against hearing the likes of 'Wonderwall' and 'Don't Look Back in Anger'.
