After announcing yesterday that he will be streaming a virtual gig on 5th December 2020, Liam Gallagher shared a trailer this morning. It shows him and his band playing on a barge on the Thames in London. He has named the stream ‘Down By The River Thames’ which is, of course, based on his 2019 single ‘The River’ and its chorus lyrics, “I’ve been waiting so long for you down by the river.”
I’m performing a one off celestial live performance for you to stream, ‘Down By The River Thames’, on 5th Dec 2020. I’m performing tracks from my 2 number 1 solo albums & some stone cold Oasis classics, some of which you haven’t heard for a long, long time. C’mon you know. LG x pic.twitter.com/yDlojWPWR4

The musician confirmed that his set will include songs from his two solo albums, and some hits from his time in Oasis. Tickets will be available this Friday, 13th November at 9am for £16.50 each or the pre-sale is on now with the addition of a physical commemorative ticket with each purchase. Gallagher hinted to fans, commenting, “C’mon you know.”
Showing exclusively on MelodyVR, the show is pre-recorded, and many fans noticed Gallagher performing last week, wondering what was going on. The trailer, shared today, has over 153,000 views on Twitter, and has some incredible visuals of London at night, as well as the full band giving a lively performance while they pass famous landmarks such as the London Eye and Tower Bridge.
