The bands played the Oasis song in tribute to the 22 who lost their lives in the Manchester terror attack seven years ago.
Nickelback and The Lottery Winners paid tribute to the victims of the Manchester terror attack with a rendition of Don't Look Back In Anger.
Seven years ago, the Manchester Arena was targeted by a terrorist at an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017, killing 22 innocent victims in the process.
The Canadian rock outfit brought their Get Rollin' tour to the Manchester venue this Monday (20th May). where they joined support act The Lottery Winners in performing the iconic 1996 Oasis anthem, which has since become a symbol of hope after the tragic event.
Watch a clip of the moment, which was shared by the band on their official Twitter and credited to Timothy Hiehle.

The bands previously covered the track in Glasgow and also repeated the performance during their show at The O2 London last night (22nd May).
