Liam Gallagher has announced an intimate London show, set to take place on 9th August 2023 at KOKO.
The show will celebrate the release of Gallagher’s new live album, Knebworth 22, due to come out on 11th August 2023.

Liam’s performance at KOKO is set to be his only indoor UK gig scheduled for 2023, though he is set to perform at various UK festivals throughout the year.
Speaking on the release of Knebworth 22, Liam said, “So we recorded the Knebworth gigs we did last year. We all sound BIBLICAL, turn it up ENJOY, LGx.” Liam played two sold-out nights at Knebworth back in June 2022, with over 170,000 fans attending the shows which were reminiscent of the iconic 1996 Oasis Knebworth performance.
Liam announced the news of the live album by sharing the live recording of an Oasis deep cut, “Roll It Over,” taken from one of his Knebworth 22 shows. The track was originally featured on Oasis’ fourth studio album, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, and had never been performed live by the band.
Pre-sale tickets for the album launch show will go on sale at 10am BST on 5th July, with an exclusive presale code being offered to all fans who pre-order a copy of Knebworth 22 before 3pm on 4th July. The code will be sent out at 5pm on the 4th. Pre-order Knebworth 22 here.
This gig announcement came shortly after Liam teased fans with the news of his plans to tour the Definitely Maybe album in its entirety to celebrate its upcoming 30th anniversary in 2024.
As it’s 30 years since DM was released nxt year I’m gonna be playing the album from start to finish in it’s original order at a few BIBLICAL venues LG x
