Aldi has given a Mancunian flavour to its store nearest to the park where Oasis will play their homecoming gigs.
The supermarket in Prestwich has changed its name to ‘Aldeh’ to reflect Manchester’s distinctive drawl and the Mancunian pronunciation of its name, it said.
Liam and Noel Gallagher are reuniting for their 2025 tour which includes five sold out gigs in Heaton Park from 11 July.
The Manchester band disbanded 16 years ago following a backstage brawl between the brothers at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Oasis’ tour will start on Friday in Cardiff before finishing in Brazil in November.
The name change to Aldi’s store in Prestwich will remain in place during the Oasis’ gigs in Heaton Park.
Aldi’s chief commercial officer Julie Ashfield said: “By temporarily renaming our Bury New Road store to ‘Aldeh,’ we’re celebrating both the local dialect and the legendary band that has brought so much joy to fans worldwide.”
Last year, Lidl put up a spoof blue plaque at its Newton Heath store, reflecting Liam Gallagher’s claim he would gig at the store if shows at the Co-op Live arena could not go ahead, amid teething troubles at the venue when it first opened.
