Oasis gigs in Manchester this weekend sees major rule change for all ticket holders
This weekend will see the historical return of one of the UK's most famous bands as Oasis finally return home to Manchester for the first of their five huge shows. Liam and Noel Gallagher will head to the city this Friday and Saturday night as a part of their Oasis Live '25 tour.
Following on from their huge opening shows in Cardiff last week, Oasis will be back on their home turf as excited fans finally get the moment they've been waiting for after 16 years. Prior to their reunion last week, the last time the Gallagher brothers played together was at V Festival in August of 2009.
Their 19-song set list for their comeback tour includes huge hits like Rock 'n' Roll Star and Wonderwall, and they concluded their last show with I Am The Walrus. The tour was announced last august, two days before the 30th anniversary of their debut album Definitely Maybe and it's safe to say there's been a huge interest in securing tickets.
Oasis Live '25 was the biggest concert launch ever seen in the UK and Ireland and attracted over ten million fans who were desperate to be in with a chance of attending one of the biggest music tours in years, the M.E.N reports.
Those attending the Manchester shows will be able to enter the park from 3pm onwards. Cast will play at 6pm, followed by Richard Ashcroft at 7pm, and Oasis at 8:15pm with curfew for the venue being 10:30pm.
Ahead of the highly anticipated gigs at Heaton Park this weekend, the event organisers have issued a number of updates for ticket holders attending the first two events.
As temperatures this weekend are forecast to be very hot, one major rule has changed surrounding bringing in water to Heaton Park on show days.
Prior to the forecast this week, which is set to see highs of 30C and 31C on Friday and Saturday, the guidance was that fans were welcome to bring in an empty plastic bottle, to refill at one of the water stations.
However, it has now been updated that those attending are allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml. However, it must be collapsible plastic as solid plastic, metal etc containers will not be permitted on the grounds of safety.
Bottles with broken seals will be emptied, and there is free water to refill your bottle on site. There will also be water cups available from the welfare tent to use at the refill points.
Concert goers are also urged to wear suncream and will be permitted to bring in a small bottle of sun cream of 200ml or under.
Fans have also been advised to bring a hat, which is not unusual for a bucket hat loving Manchester crowd.
Organisers are also expecting large crowds in attendance so ticket holders are urged to allow plenty of time to travel and to arrive early.

'I live near Heaton Park and can't believe what some Oasis fans did to my flat'
Oasis's hotly-anticipated reunion tour has kicked off with a bang, with thousands of music lovers across the world overjoyed after brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher confirmed they'd put their feud behind them to embark on a globe-trotting string of gigs celebrating the band's Britpop legacy. The tour signals the band's first live appearance since they split back in 2009, and it began on July 4 2025 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Oasis' much longed-for reunion - and the tour - was confirmed on August 27 2024, two days before the 30th anniversary of the band's influential and iconic debut album, Definitely Maybe. Formed in Manchester in 1991, the group's homecoming gigs at Heaton Park kicked off on Friday, July 11. They're playing five dates, with the final taking place on Sunday, July 20. However, while most people were enjoying the show respectfully, it seems some people weren't as respectful to the surrounding community as others. In a post on Reddit, one anonymous Heaton Park local claimed: 'For those Oasis fans who are at Heaton Park tonight. Thanks. 'You've parked your cars on private land and taken my parking space. There's cans, bottles and other rubbish left on my doorstep. 'When I left earlier tonight, there was four of you taking a p*** up the side of my building despite four portaloos literally just across the road. Approaching my flat, the place smelled like p***.' While some locals may relish being able to hear the band's vocals after the mad scramble to obtain coveted tickets for the shows, this person remained thoroughly unimpressed. They continued: 'The weather is so hot so our windows are open. The music is so loud, despite being a kilometre away, that we can't hear the TV. 'Parklife wasn't this bad. Absolutely f***ing shameful display.' In the comments section, people shared their thoughts. One person advised: 'If you contact the community impact team they will arrange a clean up crew to attend your premises, there are council staff on the streets'. Another said: 'Can't say I'm surprised', while a third joked: 'Just don't look back in anger.' A fourth, who also lives near Heaton Park, offered their perspective: 'I live pretty much across the road from the park and (so far) this has been so much less disruptive than Parklife. 'Chances are it's not every Oasis fan, but with 80k people there's bound to be the odd tosser here [and] there.' In a follow up comment, the original poster added: 'I posted mostly for fun and fair play to the posters here, most of them have been hilarious. There are absolutely far more serious issues to get upset at.' The Community Impact Team "manage and mitigate the impact of major events held at Manchester City Council's Heaton Park". Those who experience issues can contact them by completing the online form, calling, 0161 883 1962 (on event days 2pm to 12.30am or leaving a message requesting a callback), or by visiting the Maccabi Community and Sports Centre (4pm to 9pm on event days).

Newly-single Orlando Bloom has the time of his life at Oasis gig as he sings and dances with Liam and Noel Gallagher's kids and famous pals
Newly-single Orlando Bloom had the time of his life at the Oasis gig in Manchester on Saturday as he shared a series of videos dancing and singing on Instagram. The English actor, 48, enjoyed watching brothers Liam and Noel from the VIP area along with their children and famous pals. Orlando looked thrilled to be partying with the headliner's children including Liam's sons Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24. The Lord of the Rings star warned his seven million followers to skip his Instagram Stories if you don't like Oasis as he shared several clips of him singing to the group. He wrote: 'If you don't like @oasis swipe on - if you wanna see me run through some of my favourite karoke numbers for laughs here you are lol.' Throughout the concert, Orlando sang along to the likes of Oasis hits Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova. He looked to have not a care in the world as he also sang along with the crowd during tracks Take Me Away, Half the World Away and Live Forever. In another snap following the concert, the Pirates of the Caribbean added: 'My 16 year old self who was at Knebworth just let it all hang out in Manchester what a night'. Ahead of the show, Orlando seemed in good spirits on social media as he penned: 'Road to Oasis. Could not be more f'in excited,' while travelling to the gig. 'It's gonna be karaoke all night,' he declared as he flashed a smile at the camera. Another snap showed him smiling and singing along to hit Don't Look Back In Anger in the background, as he relaxed on a boat. Meanwhile Orlando has brushed off his awkward reunion with ex-fiancée Katy Perry. Orlando and Katy, 40, confirmed their split earlier this month as they entered a 'new relationship dynamic', but just days later were pictured together at pals Jeff and Lauren Bezos' honeymoon. Orlando and Katy began dating in 2016 and got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019, before welcoming their four-year-old daughter Daisy Dove into the world. He wrote: 'If you don't like @oasis swipe on - if you wanna see me run through some of my favourtie karaoke numbers for laughs here you are lol' After the couple were trailed by rumours about the state of their relationship, it was widely reported that they have gone their separate ways. Representatives for the pair have confirmed to that 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is - and always will be - raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.' The insider further added that the reported breakup had been 'a long time coming' and that their relationship had also been 'tense for months.' On Wednesday, Orlando posted about his reunion with Perry in a carousel of snaps, after awkwardly jetting off on holiday together, despite their split. The former couple's daughter Daisy - who turns five next month in August - was also seen with her parents on the Italian getaway. In the wake of their separation, Orlando had whisked himself away to Venice to attend the star-studded nuptials between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez this past weekend. Katy, who had been a guest at Lauren's bachelorette party in Paris and was also one of the bride's fellow passengers on the controversial all-female Blue Origin space flight launched by Jeff, was not in attendance. When it emerged that Orlando was going to the wedding alone, Katy's absence was explained away as a scheduling conflict with her Lifetimes tour in Australia. At the wedding, Orlando was spotted mingling with a number of celebrities, including Kim Kardashian and Sydney Sweeney. Fresh from three days partying at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Venice wedding extravaganza, Orlando headed on board Ritz-Carlton's gleaming 794ft Luminara for its inaugural cruise from Rome. Orlando was also recently spotted cosying up to Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, during a water taxi ride as they headed to the airport following the Amazon founder's wedding this past weekend. A separate source recently told that Katy had been left hurt by Orlando's actions. 'It's disappointing. It's hurtful and annoying. If he's going to behave like an acting-up adolescent, that's on him. She's going to continue to work and take care of Daisy.' They added, 'Katy knows that he's free to do whatever the hell he wants to do, she hoped he'd do it a little more discreetly and thoughtfully. So she's disappointed and sad.' During one of the early shows of her Lifetimes Tour in Mexico City this April, Katy had been seen sobbing while singing her song Pearl about leaving a troubled romance. After news had spread of her split from Orlando, she once again fought back tears while addressing a concert audience in Adelaide, holding her hands in the shape of a heart and saying: 'Thank you, Australia, for always being there for me.' Orlando meanwhile shared cryptic social media posts about 'loneliness' and 'darkness,' intensifying the speculation about his relationship status.
