It was the gig that saw them perform to 250,000 devoted fans.

But Noel Gallagher, 54, has admitted he was too 'f***ing arrogant' to enjoy the famous Oasis concert at Knebworth in 1996. 

The Mancunian musician recently buried his feud with his brother Liam, 48, to work on documentary film about the iconic show which had its world premiere in London on Thursday night. 

Strong admission: Noel Gallagher, 54, now frontman of High Flying Birds, has admitted he was too 'f***ing arrogant' to enjoy Oasis' famous concert at Knebworth in 1996

And Noel has now spoken out about his memory of the performance, saying according to The Sun: 'I was so f***ing arrogant at the time that it didn't really register. Genuinely. It's only since Supersonic (Oasis's 2016 documentary) and this film that you try and put yourself back in there and you get goosebumps.' 

The gigs saw Liam and Noel - as well as Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Paul 'Guigsy' McGuigan and Tony McCarroll - take to the stage in front of the mammoth crowd.

And Noel insists the Knebworth show was performed at a time when the band was most in touch with their audience and when the group was at its best.

He explained: 'I'm not sure there are any bands who had that lift-off like we did. We were still in the same circumstances as our audience, almost. It is a snapshot of a band, of its zenith. It is a great moment for the band.

'Morning Glory (Oasis's second album, in 1995) hadn't really taken off. We were loaded but we hadn't really got paid. You know, the f***ing chimps hadn't turned up and tigers and fur coats.' 

Oasis had only released their 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe and their smash 1995 follow-up (What's the Story) Morning Glory at the time of Knebworth.

Mind on other matters: Noel admitted he didn't remember singing much at the show and said he was more interested in the TV working in their dressing room (pictured 1996)
