Liam Gallagher pays sweet tribute to Irish mammy Peggy at Croke Park gig

Oasis kicked off their two sold out gigs at Croke Park on Saturday and not without a sweet tribute to their beloved Irish mammy, Peggy.

Packed buses and trains made their way to Dublin on Saturday as excitement culminated at the home of the GAA for the reunion of once-feuding brothers, Noel and Liam.

The brothers, who fell out in 2009, reunited last month for a string of gigs as part of Live 25 and paid homage to their Mayo roots as they played to avid fans at Croke Park.

Two tributes took place on the night — one for the people of Charlestown, where their mother is from, and a second specifically to their mother.

At the gig, Liam wondered: ‘Anyone here from Mayo, Charlestown?’

As with anything the musician said on the night, there were plenty of cheers, with the 52-year-old quick to remark: ‘There’s only about five people there, you can’t all be f*cking from there.’

The band dedicated Stand By Me to Peggy, who was amongst concertgoers on the night – sure to have been beaming to see her sons back on stage together.

Saturday saw the Gallagher brothers’ reunite on stage on Irish soil for the first time in 16 years, with former band members Andy Bell, Gem Arche and Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs also back in action for the monumental moment.

The Manchester lads last played Ireland in 2009, when they headlined at Slane Castle, in Co Meath, performing there to over 80,000 fans.

If you are one of the lucky ones with your mitts on one of the golden tickets to either Saturday or Sunday’s shows, then you need to know a few things in advance of arriving at Croker, in order to have the best experience possible.

Gardaí are urging fans to follow their Oasis Concert Croke Park Traffic Managment Plan, and to take heed of signage in and around Croke Park, as roads will be closed all around the venue.

Gardaí and stewards will be on hand to ensure everything runs smoothly for concert attendees.

Doors opened at 5pm on Saturday, and will do so again on Sunday, with the show getting underway from 6pm with support acts Richard Ashcroft (formerly of The Verve) and Liverpudlian band Cast.
