The band was at the height of their success at the time, and the concert was a sold-out event that drew thousands of fans from not just Wigan but from all over the UK.
The atmosphere was electric as the band played all their classic hits including "Bittersweet Symphony" and "The Drugs Don't Work" to adoring fans.
The performance was so memorable that it has since become a landmark moment in British music history.
For fans who were lucky enough to be in attendance, The Verve's gig at Haigh Hall will always be a cherished memory.
