A body found in the Manchester Ship Canal in Salford is that of missing Stone Roses fan Christopher Brahney, police have confirmed.
Officers were called to the canal near Media City, Salford Quays, shortly before 09:35 BST.
Mr Brahney, of Timperley, was last seen by friends at The Stone Roses concert in Heaton Park, Manchester, on 29 June.
More than 80,000 people joined a Facebook group appealing for help finding him.
Police said it was too early to say whether there were any suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old had lost his phone at the concert and became separated from friends.
Police later said they believed his phone could be in Edinburgh.
The search for him was widened nationwide when police said he may have used the park-and-ride facility at Bowlee Park, in Heywood Old Road, towards Middleton, shortly before midnight.
Hundreds of people joined a rally in Manchester's Piccadilly Gardens on Thursday night, organised by his friends and family.
