OASIS SING THE BLUES!
Oasis are to headline a concert at Manchester City's Maine Road Stadium on the last day of the season to say goodbye to the ground before it is bulldozed.
Blues fans NOEL and LIAM GALLAGHER will play their greatest hits on May 11, after City have taken on Southampton. The 45 Minute set will include a version of the fans' anthem BLUE MOON.
The bill also includes fellow City fans DOVES, JOHNNY MARR, THE CULT guitarist BILLY DUFFY and dance act 808 STATE.

808 play Maine Road
I will be happy to walk into Maine Road with my STATE 808 United top on after we win the Title. 
Can we get confirmation and details of this gig how long will the set be etc
I may have a few quid to spare around this time, and quite fancy a little trip, none of this flying to Liverpool and driving to Manchester though, what a pain!
