Liam Gallagher’s Comeback Parka and the Aldi Rebrand That Has Got Manchester Buzzing

When Liam Gallagher stepped on stage for his recent “Definitely Maybe” anniversary tour, fans weren’t just there for the music. They were there for a full dose of 90s nostalgia and Liam delivered, right down to his signature parka. But what looked like a vintage coat pulled straight from his Oasis wardrobe, it wasn’t quite what people thought.

The parka in question sparked speculation across fan pages and fashion blogs. With its classic cut, oversized fit and unmistakable swagger, it appeared to be the real deal, a relic from Britpop’s golden days. In reality, it was a modern custom piece, designed to honour his original look while embracing updated materials and tailoring. Likely made by one of Liam’s favoured designers, the jacket managed to channel the energy of Oasis without being stuck in the past.

It’s a clever move from a man who has made iconic fashion part of his stage presence. The parka, much like the tour itself, was a celebration of what Oasis meant to a generation: timeless but reimagined. For fans, it was a statement: Liam hasn’t changed, he’s just evolved and he knows exactly how to keep people talking.

Speaking of keeping people talking, another Gallagher-inspired surprise popped up in Prestwich this week. The local Aldi store has cheekily rebranded itself as “Aldeh”, in honour of Liam Gallagher himself. The move is part of a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the legendary Mancunian, whose influence stretches far beyond music.

The rebrand hasn’t gone unnoticed. Locals were quick to spot the new signage outside the store, and social media lit up with photos, memes and praise for Aldi’s clever homage. While it’s only a temporary change, the rebrand taps into a wider love for all things Oasis, especially in the band’s home region.

Prestwich, just a short drive from Burnage where Liam grew up, has long been proud of its musical roots. By temporarily renaming the store to “Aldeh”, Aldi has struck the perfect balance between humour and heartfelt tribute, showing that Liam’s cultural impact is still very much alive.

It’s a reminder of how powerful nostalgia can be – and how the Oasis legacy continues to influence everything from fashion to food shopping. Whether it’s a stage-ready parka or a supermarket sign, Liam Gallagher has a unique way of turning everyday things into cultural moments.

As the “Definitely Maybe” tour continues to draw huge crowds, and Prestwich locals enjoy shopping at “Aldeh”, it’s safe to say that the spirit of Oasis is still well and truly woven into the fabric of British life – parkas, parodies and all.
