LIAM and Noel Gallagher walked on stage hand-in-hand on Friday night as Oasis launched the first of their five hometown shows at Manchester's Heaton Park.
It was a return to their roots following the start of their world tour in Cardiff last week.
The crowd were treated to a string of Oasis anthems including Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Cigarettes and Alcohol, and Supersonic before Noel took the spotlight for an acoustic set.
Backstage, the Gallagher family marked the occasion with a group photo joined by Pep Guardiola.
The Spanish football manager stood wedged between Liam's boys Gene and Lennon, with Noel's sons Donovan and Sonny next to Liam's daughter Anais.
Liam's son Gene, 24, shared the image on Instagram, and captioned the post: "Pic of the century, alright?"
Just an hour before the band took to the stage, fans were filmed singing their own rendition of Live Forever.
In video footage shared by band Cast, one of the support acts, crowds belted the hit out as they awaited the Gallaghers' arrival.
At about 8.20pm, the brothers walked onto the stage together to cheers from the crowd.
Liam held his older brother's hand and raised it, while he had his trademark maracas in his other fist.
Earlier today, Noel and his model daughter Anais headed to the band's long-anticipated homecoming concert.
Anais, who is Noel's oldest daughter and credited with helping the Oasis reunion happen left the Stock Exchange Hotel in Manchester with her famous dad who was mobbed by eager fans.
Noel, 58, buried the hatchet with brother Liam, 52, to bring the iconic band back together and are performing the first of five shows as Oasis tonight in Manchester's Heaton Park.
The rocker stopped to sign autographs for adoring fans before heading to the stadium for the hotly anticipated gig.
Noel and Liam kicked off their huge, sold-out 41 date reunion tour last week in Cardiff.
They played two consecutive nights at the Principality Stadium and will now perform five homecoming shows in Manchester.
Earlier this week, The Sun revealed that the brothers' had to hire around the clock security for their mum, Peggy.
They took the measures in a bid to protect Peggy, 82, after overzealous fans started turning up at her house.
A source said: "Noel and Liam are devoted to their mum Peggy and they knew there would be a lot of interest in her after Oasis reunited.
"They wanted her to keep being able to live a quiet life and there have been fans coming to the house.
"They have employed a security firm to keep an eye on her and make sure she isn't hassled."
