The Aldi store in Prestwich, Greater Manchester, has temporarily changed its name to “Aldeh” to mark the upcoming reunion gigs from Oasis at Heaton Park
In anticipation of the highly-awaited Oasis reunion concerts, Aldi has made a Mancunian gag.
The supermarket’s branch in Prestwich, situated less than a mile from Heaton Park where the band is set to perform, has tweaked its sign to read “Aldeh” – a playful nod to the iconic brothers’ accent. Aldi confirmed the revised sign will remain on display throughout Oasis’ reunion gigs in the city.
The altered name has already caught the attention of eager Oasis fans, who have gathered outside the store donning bucket hats. One fan took to social media to share their excitement, posting: “Just on my way to do my weekly shop and what do I see? Aldeh! It’s absolutely brilliant.”, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Another fan wrote: “Oasis are coming home and this hilarious tribute tops it off… it’s a great time to be in Manchester!”.
Rumours of the sign change had been circulating on social media, and Aldi has now officially confirmed the alteration as a tribute to the upcoming reunion concerts. Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, stated: “Manchester is a vibrant city with a rich musical history, and with the Oasis reunion, we wanted to mark the occasion.
“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.” Aldi, or as some call it, “Aldeh”, is also offering Aldimania Bucket Hats in their stores across the UK in anticipation of the shows.
Oasis is set to kick off their reunion tour on July 4, before heading to Heaton Park, their last performance venue, for five gigs between July 11 and July 20. However, Aldi isn’t the only one in Prestwich gearing up for the band’s return.
A recent sighting revealed a “pop-up campsite” in a local resident’s back garden, charging gig-goers a whopping £480 per night to pitch their tents during the Heaton Park concerts.
It comes as Noel and Liam have reportedly denied the team working behind the scenes on their highly anticipated reunion tour upcoming tour free tickets.
Typically, friends and family gig tickets are given to the dedicated team as a token of appreciation, considering they’ll be on the road for months while the band tours the UK and later embarks on a series of international dates.
