Knebworth 22 is the third live album by English singer and songwriter Liam Gallagher, released on 11 August 2023 by Warner Records. The album was recorded during the first of Gallagher's concerts at the Knebworth Festival on 3 and 4 June 2022 which were attended by 170,000 people across both nights.[1] Nine of the tracks were originally recorded by Oasis.[2] A film of the same name directed by Toby L was released in cinemas in November 2022 and on Paramount+ in December 2022.[3] A video for "Roll It Over" was released along with the album's announcement.[4]

The album became Gallagher's fifth solo number one album in the United Kingdom.[5]

Emma Harrison of Clash found that Knebworth 22 "showcases not only [Gallagher's] fantastic vocals but his charismatic stage presence too", calling it "a gargantuan celebration of a tour de force performance".[6] Reviewing the album for The Guardian, Kitty Empire opined that "if some of Gallagher's solo tracks fare less well – 'Paper Crown' is a lull – there is nothing but joy for the Oasis classics" like "Cigarettes & Alcohol".[7] Robin Boardman of Louder Than War remarked that the production is "perfect with crystal-clear sound but without the sense that it's been polished to within an inch of its life in the studio. Is there anything new here? Well not really, but this is a well-presented and enjoyable album full of fantastic songs".[10]

Edwin McFee of Hot Press wrote that it is "exhilarating from start to finish" and the performance of "Wall of Glass" "re-affirms that Gallagher still has star power by the boat-load".[8] Retropop Magazine stated that Gallagher "sound[s] better than ever" and is "in fine form vocally with a presence that commands attention and proves him as one of Britain's all-time greatest rock showmen", and the album "a stellar display from one of the premier rock stars of a generation".[9]
