How to get to the Oasis reunion gigs at Heaton Park in Manchester: public transport guide for final two shows this weekend
Noel and Liam Gallagher are finishing up an enormous five-show run in their hometown, with more than 300,000 people descending upon Heaton Park for the occasion. Manny has been incredibly busy over the last week or so, and planning your journey to and from the venue ahead of time is highly recommended. You've waited 16 years for this moment – don't ruin it by being late.
So, this is all the travel info you need ahead of Oasis' final two Heaton Park shows on July 19 and 20.
How to get to the Oasis reunion gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park
Tram
The tram will be one of the easiest and quickest ways to get to Heaton Park for Oasis. If you're travelling from the city centre, you should board a tram bound for Bury (the green line) at Victoria and get off at either Heaton Park of Bowker Vale (both are a short walk from the park gates). There'll be no trams travelling between St Peter's Square and Piccadilly, Market Street and Piccadilly or Exchange Square and Victoria due to planned engineering work.
Heaton Park tram stop will be closed after the gig, so you should travel from Bowker Vale when heading home. There'll be signs and staff around to help you find your way.
Bus
There's a limited number of £10 shuttle bus tickets available on the Bee Network app that you can book in advance. The shuttle bus will run from Lever Street (an 11-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly) to the venue from 1.30pm on each show day and will start picking people up from the venue to bring them back into the city from 10pm.
Local buses x35, 59, 90, 135, 149, 156, 164 and 484 also serve the park.
Train
Large crowds are expected across all of the city's main train stations (Manchester Piccadilly, Deansgate-Castlefield, Oxford Road and Victoria), so make sure you get in with plenty of time to spare. Once you alight, you'll still have to hop on a tram or bus to get to Heaton Park.
Note that there'll be no trams travelling between Piccadilly station and Piccadilly Gardens, so if you get in at Manchester Piccadilly, you should follow the signposted route or hop on a tram to Victoria (a 20-minute or so walk) so that you can catch a tram to the venue.
Taxi
There will be a number of road closures and diversions in place across Manchester city centre while the event is on, so a taxi probably won't be the most efficient way to get to the park. If you'd still prefer a taxi over a tram or bus, it's strongly advised that you book one in advance to avoid being stranded.

Liam Gallagher's tipple on Oasis tour - and it's not what you'd expect
Liam Gallagher has been taking a more wholesome approach to life on the road after reuniting with brother Noel Gallagher for the Oasis Live '25 Tour. Liam Gallagher, notorious for his wild partying and boozy escapades, is now adopting a more wholesome lifestyle on tour. Fans shouldn't expect to witness him downing tequila shots or guzzling pints, as he now has a new tipple of choice. And it's not what fans might expect. The rock star, 52, has opted for a healthier approach to touring life after reuniting with his brother Noel Gallagher, 58, for the Oasis Live '25 Tour. He's reportedly sipping apple cider vinegar tea in a bid to safeguard his voice and ensure peak performance. Having previously struggled with vocal issues and undergone cortisone injections for inflamed vocal cords, Liam is prioritising the protection of his voice as he embarks on the UK dates of his monumental tour according to the Mirror. Fans have spotted Liam clutching an oak-coloured beverage on stage. However, it seems to reportedly be a special tea blend containing honey and other soothing ingredients according to the publication. Despite the singer admitting that his new favourite drink provides key health benefits, he knocks points off for its lack of a kick while on the road. In his 2018 documentary As It Was, Liam revealed: "I drink a lot of funky drinks. I have this apple cider vinegar, the one that everyone bangs on about. Apparently, it's great for everything. Mam has it for arthritis and it's really good for her. "So I have vinegar, some honey and then I have some turmeric, some cayenne pepper, a squirt of lemon, hot water, stir it round and drink it. It's really good for when you get a hoarse voice. I've got a thyroid problem – Hashimoto's disease – so I can get a really hoarse voice. "It makes you tired and your bones are creaky, but you have this drink and it makes you a bit Jumping Jack Flash." Oasis have already taken the stage at Heaton Park on Friday 11, Saturday 12 and Wednesday 16 July and are set to return to their stomping ground for two additional performances in the Manchester park this weekend. They brothers are scheduled to perform on both Saturday, 19 July, and Sunday, 20 July, marking their final two evenings in their hometown. The band will then progress to London's Wembley Stadium, where they are due to appear on July 25, 26 and 30 and August 2 and 3. They will move on to perform in Scotland for fans at Edinburgh's Murrayfield on the weekend of 8 and 9 August, and on Tuesday, August 12. The Gallagher brothers will be occupied with the tour until the end of the year, with performances scheduled up to late November. The final night of their tour is scheduled for November 23 in Brazil.

Marcus Rashford endures journey from hell as Man Utd star's transfer to Barcelona is almost scuppered by OASIS
United have also missed out on crucial clause in loan contract ROLL WITH IT Marcus Rashford endures journey from hell as Man Utd star's transfer to Barcelona is almost scuppered by OASIS Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MARCUS RASHFORD endured a journey from hell today - after his trip to Barcelona was almost scuppered by Oasis. The Manchester United striker had hoped to travel by private jet from Manchester airport on Sunday to Spain ahead of a medical today. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Marcus Rashford was given a journey from hell to Barcelona thanks to Oasis Credit: Getty 5 The Gallagher brothers booked all private jet space at Manchester airport Credit: instagram/oasis 5 Oasis played their gig at Manchester's Heaton Park as Rashford looked to seal his Barca switch But officials were unable to give him a slot as the Manchester City-loving brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher had taken up all the space. Liam is believed to have had a private jet on standby at the airport to take him to his home in the south of France after the band's final gig at Manchester's Heaton Park. Rashford, 27, and his team of advisors were instead forced to drive 80 miles to East Midlands airport instead. The player was then delayed an hour before boarding a private jet which was due to land shortly after 8pm on Sunday.

A source said: 'Marcus' travel plans were disrupted so it was all a bit stressful but he would have walked to Barcelona to sign for them. 'Noel and Liam can have a laugh that they accidentally put a spanner in the works.' The private terminal at Manchester airport is also understood to be busy with Oasis fans from around the world jetting in to enjoy the gigs. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS The Sun told in February while Rashford was on loan at Aston Villa how his No 1 target if he was to leave Old Trafford was the Catalan giants. His team agreed a deal on Thursday that suited both United and Barcelona given the forward would not feature again for United under manager Ruben Amorin. Marcus Rashford says he wants to play with Lamine Yamal at Barcelona in transfer plea Join SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from Old Trafford 5 Barca will cover 100 per cent of Rashford's £325,000-a-week wages to bring the forward to LaLiga and also have an option to buy. The deal does not allow United to recall the striker. United will save £15million in wages, which would be vital funds for Amorim to overhaul his squad. Rashford hopes to travel with Barcelona when the Spanish club departs this week for its pre-season tour of Asia, which begins next Sunday. The England international spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa after a move to Spain became too complicated in the January window. He has remained steadfast that he wanted to move to a club playing Champions League football. Should the move go to plan and Rashford seal a permanent move next summer, it would end his 20-year association with United. The United academy product scored 138 goals since his debut in 2015 and has made 426 appearances for the club, the last of which came against Viktoria Plzen in December.

'I am an Oasis super fan and I had my dream taken away after cruel move'
A long-time Oasis fan travelled from Wakefield with a group of friends for the Wednesday night (July 16) show, and was in front standing when says he was removed from the gig by security staff A long-time Oasis fan has been left gutted after being mistakenly "dragged" out of their Heaton Park gig, missing the long-awaited reunion he'd been yearning for. Lewis Burnage, a 26-year-old from Wakefield, had made the journey with mates to the Wednesday night (July 16) concert, securing a spot at the front. However, his excitement was cut short just four songs into Oasis' set when security, mistaking him for another group causing trouble with flares, ejected him from the event. A die-hard follower since his early teens, Lewis shelled out roughly £135 for his ticket during the general sale last year, eager to hear the tunes that had been the soundtrack to his life. He and his friend Tom, who were the only ones in their group with front standing tickets, entered their section separately, filled with anticipation after watching support acts Cast and Richard Ashcroft warm up the crowd. But as Oasis kicked off with 'Cigarettes and Alcohol', Lewis's dream night turned sour due to the actions of other revellers behind him. In a recent interview with the M. E. N, retail worker Lewis recounted: "Oasis came on it started to get very busy, I was having the best time of my life." "I was in front of the people letting off flares. We couldn't move, and security didn't seem too bothered at first, but then those guys let off more flares, the security came over, picked me up, and took me out. "My friend was asking security staff where they were taking me and they said they were moving me onto a different place," he said, reports the Manchester Evening News. "They didn't tell me why they had removed me, they just said they had to and dragged me from the crowd, and I was carried over the barrier. "Video shows about three of them carrying my arms and another my legs. Once they told me I was being removed, I started crying and some of the footage shows me becoming quite emotional." Footage making rounds on social media allegedly captures Lewis being escorted out by security, being pulled away from the front standing area. "They took me left, through the gate, through the exit wall, and then the exit gate and dropped me at the barrier. I asked for a supervisor multiple times but they said I had to leave. A man just said I had been removed for a reason, but didn't give a reason to me. "After that I just stayed at the gate and tried getting hold of a supervisor but they didn't listen so I tried to get hold of a friend, I was alone in a place I didn't know, couldn't get hold of him and had to wait on the street and listen to the show from there. "One of my mates rang me at the end and they come picked me up because it was too far to walk." Lewis recounted his ordeal, explaining that when he returned to the gate he had entered earlier that day, the staff were unable to assist him. He was informed that re-entry was not possible because he hadn't exited through that gate and should not have still been wearing his wristband after being removed. "It still hurts now to be honest, I was in shock and disbelief, and after all these years of waiting," he said. He expressed his concern about safety at concerts, stating, "They should not get these flares into gigs, It's dangerous and ruining peoples lives. It could have been far worse than a flare." Determined to seek answers, Lewis gathered evidence and took to social media, saying, "I've got all the evidence I could to find out as to why, and made a couple of posts on social media so people could see, I won't be the first that this happened to." Despite understanding that some are removed for drunkenness or disorderly conduct, he remains incredulous: "I know others get removed for being drunk or disorderly, and I do get it, but I just can't believe it happened to me, I didn't do anything." The incident left him so distressed that he confided, "When I got home, I took both days off. I've been distraught, I didn't want to deal with it, I just wasn't in the mindset." Lewis reached out to Showsec and SJM via email, seeking an explanation. Showsec requested further details such as date and time, while SJM confirmed they would initiate an investigation within 28 days, a timeframe Lewis noted would be too late for any Oasis shows. He provided Showsec and SJM, the organisers of the Oasis concerts, with detailed information about where and when the incident occurred, and explained that it was men behind him who had set off smoke flares. A spokesperson for Showsec's customer service team addressed Lewis' grievance on Friday (July 18), expressing regret and requesting further details to look into the incident, including specifics about the time, location, and staff involved. In a similar vein, an SJM Concerts representative acknowledged Lewis' complaint on both Friday and Saturday, assuring that they would conduct a thorough investigation and provide a response within a maximum of 28 days. "It's still an open wound, it's hard to say, speaking about it gets me quite upset, I've just tried to keep positive. But I have bruises and skin burns along my arms and body from the security. I waited a lifetime to see Oasis and they have taken my dream away from me."
