Aldi store in Manchester changes its name ahead of Oasis' Heaton Park concerts
It's located in nearby Prestwich
An Aldi store has rebranded ready for the Oasis reunion tour coming to Manchester.
The Bury New Road store in Prestwich has become ‘Aldeh’, embracing the Mancunian pronunciation of its name. It's just a stone's throw away from Heaton Park, where Liam and Noel Gallagher will be reuniting this summer for their comeback gigs.
The new sign has apparently already seen Oasis fans, complete in 90s-inspired bucket hats, queuing outside the store, eager to snap photos of the ‘Aldeh’ logo on their phones.
The change was flagged up by shoppers on social media: “Just on my way to do my weekly shop and what do I see? Aldeh! It's absolutely brilliant" one user shared. "Oasis are coming home and this hilarious tribute tops it off... it's a great time to be in Manchester!"
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, says: “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."
As part of the Oasis celebrations, the supermarket has launched a new range of Aldimania Bucket Hats (£4.99) which will be on sale in stores nationwide from 3rd July, while stocks last.
Oasis play their first concert in 16 years at Cardiff Principality Stadium on Friday 4th July, and the band will be playing in their home city at Heaton Park from 11th –20th July.
