3Liam Gallagher of Oasis
If early ’90s Britpop and crass English quips are your jam, this is the concert for you. Oasis lead vocalist Liam Gallagher is playing in Manila on August 14, sans the rest of the band including his brother Noel, with whom he has an infamously strained relationship. So you’ve got no chance of seeing any Gallagher vs. Gallagher action live—but this is the guy who sang Wonderwall, so it’ll probably still be worth it. Upcoming concerts in Manila 2017 already has its heavy, classic hitter!
