Some collaborations you can see coming from a mile away. Others catch you off guard in the best possible way. This one was the latter.

At a recent Madferrits gig — the Oasis tribute band known for channeling Manchester’s finest — fans were already buzzing. But when Anaïs Gallagher, daughter of Noel Gallagher himself, stepped onto the stage alongside Yungblud, the night shifted from a tribute to something unforgettable.

The pair joined the band’s “Noel” for a stirring rendition of Oasis’s timeless ballad “Talk Tonight.” For Anaïs, it was more than just lending her voice — it was a moment steeped in legacy. Her father wrote the song during a turbulent time in Oasis history, a piece of music that has always carried a deeply personal resonance. Standing beside a fake Noel, she brought her own thread of authenticity to the tribute, making it feel eerily full-circle.

Yungblud, known for his manic energy and punk spirit, surprised the crowd by reigning it in for a heartfelt, vulnerable performance. His raspy delivery blended with Anaïs’s softer tones, creating a hauntingly fresh take on a classic. The Madferrits guitarist carried the familiar chords, while the audience sang back every word like it was 1995 all over again.

Phones lit the venue, capturing the unlikely trio — the daughter of the song’s creator, one of rock’s boldest modern voices, and a stand-in for one of Britpop’s most iconic figures — all uniting around a song that still hits deep decades later.

The performance wasn’t about polish or perfection. It was about connection, about honoring a song that means something to millions, and about proving once again that great music doesn’t just belong to the past — it lives, it evolves, it surprises.

For the fans lucky enough to witness it live, it wasn’t just a cover. It was a reminder that Oasis’s spirit still runs through new generations, and sometimes, the best tributes are the ones you never see coming.
