THOUSANDS of Liam Gallagher fans descended on a country park to see their hero perform to a sold-out crowd.

Liam performed to more than 160,000 people across two nights at Knebworth Park over the bank holiday weekend, almost 26 years after Oasis famously played at the venue.

Fans from across the country, including Sussex, made the journey to see the 49-year-old play his biggest solo shows to date.

Twitter Fan @Carlbhafc said the event was “the best night of my life”.

He wrote: “Driving in a camper that doesn’t go above 50mph, sleeping in a camper with no mattress with four hours sleep, getting crushed against the barrier, and I would do it all over again tomorrow.”

MarchantCass from Brighton shared a photograph from the event with the caption “best Saturday I’ve ever had”.

Brighton and Hove Albion fan Paul Wise shared a photograph of himself alongside friends at the event.

He said: “Liam Gallagher last night was incredible”.

Gemma Cheneler shared photographs of the crowd at the event with the caption “what a bank holiday”.

Max Richings from Haywards Heath said “@LiamGallagher, I was first in the carpark, first in line, first at front row and first in Knebworth Park.

“What does that make me?”

Liam’s return to Knebworth Park – the site of Oasis’s most famous concerts – had been months in the making.

He performed the first of two sold-out shows on Friday, supported by Paolo Nutini, Kasabian, Michael Kiwanuka, Fat White Family and Goat Girl across the weekend.

Gene Gallagher, 20, joined his father on stage to play the drums throughout his set, while The Stone Roses guitarist John Squire joined Liam for a performance of Oasis hit Champagne Supernova.

Liam’s setlist included hits from his three solo albums and Oasis classics such as Wonderwall and Live Forever.

In a tweet written after his first performance, Liam said: “I wanna thank everyone who was at KNEBWORTH last night big up the Pastels big up the Sniffers and big up Paulo and big up Kasabian and most of all the beautiful people you looked and sounded wait for it …………….,..
