Michael Jackson's leather jacket from a 1984 Pepsi commercial, Angus Young's Gibson Guitar, a set list written by Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, and a rare test pressing single by David Bowie when he performed under the name Tom Jones, are among the lots in the online, telephone and in-person sale.
The hairpiece worn by the late Camden singer Amy Winehouse in the video for You Know I'm No Good has a guide price of £15,000-£30,000, while George Michael's La Rocka jacket is listed at £30,000-£60,000.
The late Highgate resident wore it during his duet with Aretha Franklin in the video for I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me).
Gallagher, who lives in Maida Vale, is associated with two lots; his first Prototype Epiphone Supernova Guitar during his time with Oasis, estimated at £35,000-£70,000, and a complete set of handwritten lyrics from the album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? up for £8,000-£16,000.
The most expensive lot is Jackson's custom-made jacket which is expected to fetch £200,000 to £400,000. There's also Colonel Tom Parker's own reel to reel recording of an Elvis concert from December 1976, and a 1963 concert programme autographed by all four Beatles.
Mark Hochman, Director of Music and Posters at Propstore, said: “Taking inspiration from last year’s highly successful music sale, we have strived to be bigger and better for 2023 and with incredible, unique content from rock and pop legends - John Lennon, The Beatles, David Bowie, George Michael, Michael Jackson, Oasis, AC/DC, KISS, Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, Queen, Elvis Presley and Amy Winehouse.
"For many of these exclusive lots, it is the first time they have been offered for sale to the public and Propstore expect bidding to be highly competitive."
A previous sale run by the auctioneers included a set of monitors from Abbey Road Studios which were used by The Beatles and sold for £75,000.
