Show Notes
- Oasis celebrated the release and chart-topping success of "Definitely Maybe" with a special album launch party at Manchester's legendary Hacienda nightclub at 11-13 Whitworth Street West. It was their only performance at this venue.
- The original ticket advertised admission at £7 in advance, with doors opening at 9 pm and Oasis scheduled to take the stage at 11 pm.
- Oasis were supported by The Creation, with future Oasis bassist Andy Bell reportedly standing in on guitar.
- According to an eyewitness who obtained Liam's handwritten setlist from a roadie after the concert, Liam opened the show by declaring: "It's about time something proper happened in this fucking club!" The original setlist has been preserved in the Manchester Digital Music Archive.
- Although billed as a "Definitely Maybe" album launch party, this event featured a full Oasis concert.
- The Hacienda, famously associated with Factory Records, New Order and Manchester's acid house scene, closed in 1997 and was demolished in 2002.

reviews / memories
I was blessed to have been at this gig myself mate, I seen loads of celebs in the Hac that night, "How's it goin Owen?" & "I'm feeling rather flakey,Lakey" sang Noel & Liam I still recall. I got Liam to sign my ticket stub when he came out of the Hacienda. A gig that should be legendary in my opinion anyway.
