Oasis Offer 70,000 Fans A Refund

Oasis have offered 70,000 fans who attended their Manchester stadium show last night (June 4) a refund on their tickets, after the set was hit with technical problems.

The event at Heaton Park (the first of three nights at the venue) was halted for 40 minutes, until generator problems were fixed.

Noel Gallagher told the audience: "Thank you very very much, this is a free gig - let's have it. Anybody who has kept their ticket will get a full refund."

The band will have to dig deep into their pockets, as fans paid £45 to see their idols perform in Manchester - for the first time in four years.

Liam Gallagher recently said the shows would top Knebworth.
