Liam Gallagher has become an official ambassador for Manchester music charity Brighter Sound, launching a fundraising campaign designed to help the next generation of working-class musicians and creatives.
The Oasis frontman announced the partnership alongside a charity prize draw offering fans the chance to win pairs of his highly sought-after adidas Achille SPZL trainers. All proceeds from the campaign will go directly to Brighter Sound, which supports emerging artists and works to improve access to opportunities across the music industry.
The initiative marks a new chapter in Gallagher’s support for grassroots music and creative development.
Liam Gallagher backs working-class talent through Brighter Sound
Gallagher said he was proud to support Brighter Sound’s mission to help aspiring artists launch their careers.
“I’m honoured to be an Ambassador for Brighter Sound and support the new generation of creatives launch their music projects. We need more help for the arts, especially for the working class.”
The partnership aligns with Brighter Sound’s long-standing work creating opportunities for young musicians, producers and creatives, particularly those from backgrounds that may face barriers to entering the music industry.
Fans can win Liam Gallagher adidas Achille SPZL trainers
To celebrate the partnership, Gallagher is offering fans another chance to own his adidas Achille SPZL collaboration, one of the most talked-about trainer releases linked to the Oasis Live ’25 tour.
The charity draw includes:
- 40 pairs of the Japan-exclusive dark brown edition
- 95 pairs of the standard light brown version
- UK sizes ranging from 3.5 to 12
The original release sold out rapidly, making the trainers one of the most sought-after Oasis-related merchandise items of the past year.
Entries are being managed through fundraising platform Zeffy, with 100 per cent of proceeds supporting Brighter Sound’s work. Fans can enter multiple times before the draw closes at 11pm on 13 July.
Why Liam Gallagher and Brighter Sound are working together
Brighter Sound is one of Manchester’s best-known music charities, helping emerging artists develop their careers through mentoring, training programmes and industry connections.
The organisation believes Gallagher’s involvement will help raise awareness of the importance of supporting future talent.
Brighter Sound director Kate Lowes welcomed the partnership and highlighted the shared connection between Gallagher, Oasis and Manchester’s musical heritage.
“It’s a real honour to be working with Liam and his team on this special prize draw, and to welcome him as an ambassador for Brighter Sound.”
She added:
“Manchester is an incredible place for music, and Liam and Oasis are a huge part of that story. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to making sure that more amazing talent continues to grow from the city and find its place on the world stage.”
Brighter Sound continues to champion emerging artists
Brighter Sound has become a significant force in developing new talent across the UK music sector.
The charity recently spearheaded the first-ever BRITs Fringe programme, launched alongside the arrival of the BRIT Awards in Manchester. The initiative was designed to showcase emerging artists and create new opportunities for local creatives during one of the music industry’s biggest annual events.
By partnering with Gallagher, the organisation hopes to raise additional funds while highlighting the challenges many working-class artists face when trying to build sustainable careers in music.
As one of Manchester’s most recognisable musical figures, Gallagher’s support is expected to bring significant attention to the charity’s mission and help fund future projects for emerging talent.
