Noel Gallagher returned to Dundee for the first time in 28 years – but told the crowd it was “still as cold” as his last appearance with Oasis.
The Mancunian and his High Flying Birds entertained a packed Slessor Gardens with songs from his illustrious back catalogue.
Gallagher acknowledged the fact he had not played in the city since 1994, suggesting to fans he recalled playing “Devil’s Kitchen” – it was actually Lucifer’s Mill.
After rolling out some of his more recent tracks, fans lapped up the likes of Whatever, Wonderwall and Little by Little from his Oasis days – before he dedicated solo hit AKA… What a Life! to all the Manchester City supporters.
That prompted boos from the crowd – with Gallagher cheekily retorting that Dundee had no right to boo.

That did not dampen spirits as the loudest singalong of the night was reserved for Don’t Look Back in Anger, which rounded off a historic night for the city – as the 55-year-old promised to return with a new record next year.
Our photographer Kim Cessford was there to capture the best images as fans also lapped up sets from Inhaler, Dylan John Thomas and Theo Bleak.
