Ticketless Oasis fans scale new security fences to catch a glimpse of latest Heaton Park gig
Huge steel fences were erected around the Manchester park to stop the eager fans from watching the band's Oasis Live '25 tour after the Britpop legends performed two homecoming shows there on Friday (11.07.25) and Saturday (12.07.25).
Although their attempts to enter the venue were unsuccessful, that hasn't stopped crowds gathering on what has been dubbed 'Gallagher Hill' to listen to the Stand By Me group.
Some have even gone as far as to setup picnic blankets and fold-up chairs - despite calls from Manchester City Council not to travel to Heaton Park.
The Council had said: "With three concerts still to be played by Oasis in Manchester's Heaton Park following their two hugely successful concerts at the weekend, the city council is repeating its request for fans without tickets not to travel to the park.
"After taking stock of how the first two nights went, additional measures have now been deemed necessary and will be in place for the next three concerts, to protect the environment of the park, ensure areas of parkland and nearby livestock are protected, and maintain public safety.
"These include the erection of steel fencing around a large area of the hill within the cattle field in the main park - which is currently being developed as a new woodland area for the park and has been recently planted with around 300 young whips including Hornbeam, Field Maple, Aspen, Downy birch, Rowan, Common Alder, Crab apple and more - as well as measures to protect the livestock in the field, which include expectant and nursing cows and a bull.
"The erection of the fencing has a dual purpose - both to protect the environment from further damage and to dissuade people from gathering there. The necessary measure means the concert will no longer be visible from this area."
There are two more dates at Heaton Park on July 19 and 20. The Oasis Live '25 Tour then moves to London's Wembley Stadium on July 25.

Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn keep their money separate
Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn keep their money in separate bank accounts. The couple - who have been married since 2007 and have twin daughters Dolly and Charlie together - lifted the lid on their finances during a joint appearance on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen show, revealing they keep the money they earn but pay into a "community pot" for parenting expenses. Host Cohen turned the conversation towards money by describing Rebecca as the breadwinner in the household since Jerry's run co-hosting The Talk TV show ended last year, and the actress, 52, said: "We keep our money completely separate ... There's, like, a community pot." The X-Men star went on to explain the couple made the decision to keep their money separate right at the start of their marriage, saying: "That's like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together." Jerry also pointed out how much money they put into their "community pot" varies and depends on how much work is coming in. He said: "I have to say, we actually throttle how much money we put into that account sometimes," and his wife added: "The one who's not working gets a little bit of a break and the one who is working puts in a little more. And we really tag-team with work." Rebecca revealed the couple's work also depends on childcare because they promised to always make sure one of them was home to care for their daughters, who are now 17 years old. She said: "We also decided when our girls were born that one of us would always stay home with our daughters. So, no one else was ever going to raise them besides the parents." Jerry previously admitted he hopes his girls follow him into showbusiness after he started his career at the age of 11 with a role in Stand By Me. He told UsWeekly: "I have one daughter who's auditioning for the school musical. They're doing Urinetown, so we went to [dinner] last night and we went over her lines in the diner, so that was really funny. I'm going to have a couple nepo babies! "I'm throwing it out there. It's the family business!"

Manchester police praise Oasis fans
Oasis fans have been praised by police for their "sensible and responsible" behaviour. The reunited group have played three of their five homecoming shows in Manchester and while Wednesday's (16.07.25) gig saw 12 men arrested for offences including fraud, being drunk and disorderly, and possession of class A drugs, Greater Manchester Police are thankful the "overwhelming majority" of revellers have made no trouble. Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle said in a statement: 'We are now three concerts into Oasis' Manchester homecoming, and I am pleased that the overwhelming majority of people attending have enjoyed themselves sensibly and responsibly. 'Our officers have provided a continued high-visibility presence throughout the night, assisting our partners and event security in ensuring a smooth flow of operations, before, during, and after the concert. 'We have tackled any issues that have faced us – seizing unauthorised drones, arresting those attempting to illegally enter the event, and working with colleagues in the ambulance service to help those in need. 'Our neighbourhood teams have engaged with those who live around the event to better understand any problems they have raised, and provide the appropriate solutions where they can. 'Ahead of the weekend, we advise all visitors to make sure they check all updates and information from ourselves and partners, including the Bee Network, Manchester City Council, and event organisers. 'If at any point you require assistance, do not hesitate to speak to an officer in attendance.' Meanwhile, new statistics from ticketing marketplace viagogo found that Londoners only just bought more Oasis tickets than those in Manchester on the platform, but per capita, the fans in the northern city led the way. Following London and Greater Manchester in the top five were Essex, Surrey and Kent. And with demand for tickets being high, the data found UK-based fans are willing to travel huge distances to see Liam and Noel Gallagher in action, with the top destinations being New Jersey, California, Toronto, Chicago, Mexico City and Buenos Aires. When the group's Adidas collaboration dropped on 20 June, viagogo saw a 35% spike in ticket searches for the band on the day.

Ticketless Oasis fans scale new security fences to catch a glimpse of latest Heaton Park gig
