MTV Unplugged (Live at Hull City Hall) is a live album by English singer and songwriter Liam Gallagher. It was released on 12 June 2020 by Warner Records. It was originally set for release on 24 April 2020[1] but was delayed until June due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The album was recorded at Hull City Hall on 3 August 2019, consisting of 10 live acoustic performances of solo material by Gallagher and Oasis[3] that were culled from the 15 songs which were performed on the night, including a cover of "Natural Mystic" by Bob Marley and the Wailers that was ultimately not included on the album.[4]

MTV Unplugged (Live at Hull City Hall) is the first live release to top the UK Albums Chart since George Michael's Symphonica in 2014, and is the biggest selling vinyl release of 2020.[5]
