Kicking the night off, Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller, and The Who frontman and event organiser Roger Daltrey teamed-up for a few numbers. The superstar rock quartet performed The JamIs"Butterfly Collector,"The WhoIs"Magic Bus,"and the Oasis B-side"Talk Tonight."After that, Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones took to the stage for renditions of"Old Size Nines"and"Traffic."

The event, which was headlined by Richard Ashcroft, also saw Liam Gallagher make a surprise appearance, much to the delight of those in attendance. The Oasis frontman joined his brother Noel, Weller, and Kelly Jones on stage, for a performance of"Songbird."Liam later returned to the stage to hold Richard Ascroft's microphone during a track in the ex-Verve frontmanIs two-hour long headlining set which finished with an epic version of"Bitter Sweet Symphony."
