Rapper Example, who released his first album in 2007, won the hearts of the crowd who broke into chants of “No Scotland No Party”.

Gallagher opened his set with Rock’n’Roll Star, and fans joined in for a singalong of Half The World Away.

He belted out Shakermaker and also performed Married With Children, both from Definitely Maybe.

Dressed in his trademark parka, he used a maraca to create the vibe which won Oasis legions of fans in the 1990s.
