Oasis performed in front of a sold-out 80,000 strong crowd in their home city of Manchester for night one of their five sold out shows at Heaton Park on Friday.
However there was a touching hidden message in the set that perhaps not all fans will have noticed.
During the show Liam paid a special tribute to his rescue dog Buttons after his face was projected as part of the light show.
Liam rescued the dog from the charity Happy Doggo in Thailand in 2023 and now Thailand dog rescuer Niall Harbison has revealed the full story behind the adoption.
Taking to Twitter after the performance in Manchester he penned: ‘Most people were probably looking at @liamgallagher and @oasis last night on stage. Look a little closer and you’ll spot a dog called Buttons.’
Explaining Buttons’ story he continued: ‘Buttons was a little puppy who walked into our sanctuary in Thailand in the middle of the jungle just as it was getting built. She had been abandoned. She kept coming back daily for food and hoping for company.

‘Day after day Buttons came back. I eventually took her in and put her up for adoption.
‘Little did I know but Liam and his partner Debbie had been following. After a long process she was adopted to them in the UK. Buttons has grown into a beloved member of the family and landed on her paws.’
Revealing the musician’s support for the charity he added: ‘Liam has been a big support of @wearehappydoggo and donated his globe from the last tour to raise funds. I don’t think buttons realizes her dad is a rock star. She just loves her humans.
‘2 years ago she was abandoned as a puppy in Thailand. Buttons set out to make herself a better life by sneaking in to our sanctuary. She certainly did that!!
‘So if you are wondering why there is a dog on the @oasis screens now you know. Well done buttons. I think you can say you’ve made it when your dad has you on the big screen’.
It isn’t the first time Niall has spoken about the Oasis frontman’s dog adoption after he previously replied to a curious fan who asked how Liam went about adopting one of their rescue dog.
He penned: ‘He applied just like everyone else and then we found out it was *that* Liam Gallagher?!!!’
Last year Liam flew Buttons with his family on a private jet make sure he was able to join the Gallagher’s on their summer holiday to France.

A source told The Sun at the time: ‘He took his family away to France but it wouldn’t be the same without Buttons, so he used a private jet so she could come too.
‘Buttons is the most spoiled pooch but Liam and partner Debbie would not have it any other way. When Liam isn’t on stage they are inseparable.’
Liam and Noel appeared hand-in-hand as they kicked off the first of their five-night stint at Heaton Park on Friday.
The shows at Heaton Park – a 600-acre public park in Bury and Manchester – are the only UK shows held outside a stadium, with the others taking place at the Principality Stadium, Wembley and Murrayfield.
Oasis opened their set with Hello from their 1995 second album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, before playing Acquiesce.
Fans were treated to Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Cigarettes and Alcohol, and Supersonic before Noel’s acoustic set.
Giving his brother a hug, Liam then headed off while Noel played Half The World Away and Little By Little.

Other songs included D’You Know What I Mean, Cast No Shadow, Stand By Me, Whatever and Rock N Roll Star.
After Rock N Roll Star, Liam said: ‘Thanks for sticking with us. I know we are difficult, but you want to try being in the band,’ before they left the stage.’
As chants of ‘one more song!’ echoed through the crowd they strolled back on to stage to play fan favourites Don’t Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall.
Oasis ended the night on Champagne Supernova with fireworks being set off from the stage.
