With over 800 lots also featuring memorabilia from Freddie Mercury, Britney Spears, George Michael and many more, Propstore’s auction offers something for music fans across generations and genres. ”— Mark Hochman, Propstore’s Music Memorabilia Specialist. LOS ANGELES , CA, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Propstore, a globally recognized auction house for entertainment collectibles, has unveiled its upcoming Music Live Auction. The event will be held over two live days in the UK on October 1 & 2, 2026. Collectors worldwide can participate via online, telephone, and absentee bids. The auction features more than 800 lots of rare and highly sought-after music memorabilia from some of the most iconic artists, with a combined estimated value of $4 million.

NOTABLE LOTS INCLUDE:

Topping the auction is a photo-matched black-and-gold military-style jacket worn by Michael Jackson. It was extensively seen at public events between 1994 and 1996 during the Dangerous and HIStory eras. Multiple photographs and video recordings show Jackson wearing the jacket, and its distinctive 24-carat gold braiding allows it to be matched to various appearances. The jacket was created by costume designers Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush, later gifted by Jackson to Norwegian rapper and dancer Omer Bhatti, and comes directly from Bhatti’s collection. Its pre-sale estimate is $237,600 – $475,200.

Another key item is an autographed Takamine FP460SC acoustic guitar owned by Noel Gallagher. This is one of two identical guitars used during Oasis’ renowned 1996 MTV Unplugged performance at London’s Royal Festival Hall. The guitar was played extensively between 1995 and 1999, including on the (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? and Be Here Now tours, and is accompanied by its original Oasis-stencilled touring case. It is estimated at $99,000 – $198,000.

Rounding out the top lots is a Pan American Airways first-class menu signed by all four members of The Beatles during their first flight to the United States on February 7, 1964. That flight marked the start of their inaugural American visit and the rise of Beatlemania in the U.S. The menu is presented in a custom frame and carries an estimate of $52,800 – $105,600.

The live auction will take place over two days on October 1 & 2, 2026, with bidding available online, by telephone, and via absentee bids for collectors worldwide.

Propstore will also host a free public exhibition at The Cumberland Hotel, London from September 24 – 27, 2026, giving fans and collectors the opportunity to view highlight lots up close before the auction.
