Oasis comeback means that Ocado’s Deliver Forever Deals will operate in the M60 corridor – and you could get a delivery that’s mad for it
Manchester went full-on mad for it this weekend as Oasis fever hits Britain – and it wasn’t just the band’s homecoming Heaton Park gigs causing a buzz.
Fans were stunned to see Noel and Liam Gallagher apparently taking a break from the tour to deliver groceries around the city. But all was not as it seemed. The pair were actually look-a-likes, riding the wave of Britpop nostalgia in specially commissioned vans.
The vehicles are part of Ocado’s Deliver Forever Deals, launched to celebrate Oasis’s comeback, and will operate around the M60 until July 20.
Featuring treats and feasts inspired by the band, the range naturally includes a supernova saving on champagne with Gauthier Brut half price at £20.50.
There are also offers on lasagne, strawberries and cream, Fever Tree – and for the Sausage Roll Star – the Higgidy Range of pastry products.
Head to ocado.com and search “Deliver Forever Deals” to see the full list.
It comes as supermarket Asda cooked up a portrait to pay homage to the band’s cult song Digsy’s Dinner, which famously name checks lasagna, strawberries and cream.
So popular are the lyrics in the song, that Liam often posts the word ‘lasagne’ to his 15 million social media followers.
Crafted with 1kg of lasagna sheets, layered with rich, creamy white sauce, and crowned with 900g of mature cheddar and parmesan, the 2ft wide culinary creation was launched ahead of the band’s five shows at Manchester’s Heaton Park, starting on Friday.
Bringing Liam’s love of lasagna to shoppers, Asda is dishing up an exclusive Digsy’s Dinner Deal at its Pilsworth café in Manchester.
Running from 11-13 July, customers and concert goers who purchase a hearty serving of lasagna from the in store café will receive a free portion of strawberries and cream.
An Asda spokesperson said: ” Oasis mania is well and truly building ahead of the weekend gigs here in their hometown, so we wanted to create something truly memorable to mark this iconic moment.
“The giant Liam lasagna has been pulling in crowds, and fans are rolling with it to dig into our great value lasanga, strawberries and cream dinner deal.
“Whether enjoying it at our Pilsworth café or in the comfort of your own home, it’s a fun and flavoursome way to celebrate one of Oasis’s most unexpected hits.”
