Betway have offered a 91% probability that their Heaton Park, Manchester shows could be part of a live album in the near future. But are there any tickets left to be part of that potential experience, and what about tickets to their London dates? The third of Oasis's homecoming shows at Heaton Park, Manchester, continues this evening, with the hometown heroes eliciting some of the biggest crowd responses of the year so far. Though perhaps not as hallowed as their 1996 Knebworth shows, it is still an incredibly significant moment for fans and pop culture alike; who would have thought this time last year that Liam and Noel Gallagher would make amends and perform together again after their acrimonious split in 2009 . Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Such a momentous occasion clearly needs more than TikTok and YouTube videos to archive the events, right? Well, according to one bookmaker, you might want to mind your language come the next Manchester show – you could be part of a live album, and the odds are very favourable. What are the odds that Oasis' Heaton Park shows will become a live album? Bookies think that the current shows Oasis are performing in Manchester will be released as a live album - with an overwhelming 91% probability according to Betway. | OLI SCARFF/AFP via Getty Images/Canva According to Betway , there is a strong likelihood the hometown shows might become a future 'Live at Heaton Park' album release, with the bookmaker citing 11/10 odds it will happen - a probability of 91%. Speaking about the odds, Mike Reading, expert spokesperson at Betway, said: 'The first two weeks of the long-awaited Oasis reunion have dominated headlines and sent Oasis fever into overdrive. Fans have watched the Gallagher brothers share the stage once again, in an emotional moment that many thought they might never see. 'With fans already snapping up memorabilia, there's a 91% chance that we'll see a live album drop, especially after Oasis topped the UK album charts last week, and had three albums in the top four, a clear sign that the appetite hasn't disappeared.'

According to Oasis' official website, the band have released two live albums in their history; the first was released in 2000 - Familiar to Millions - which was recorded across the band's performances at Wembley Stadium that same year and went on to sell over a million copies. The second live album was the long anticipated shows they performed at Knebworth in 1996 , released in 2021, that saw 250,000 young music fans converge on Knebworth Park to see Oasis play two record-breaking, era-defining shows people still talk about to this day.

Believe it or not, there are still some tickets available to see Oasis at their Heaton Park and Wembley shows according to resale outlet Twickets .

Coronation Street fans just learning beloved star has little-known talent
Coronation Street fans have been left amazed as they discovered something they 'didn't realise' about one of their favourite actors, and it turns out he has a hidden talent Coronation Street lovers have been floored after learning a little-known fact about one of the show's stars. Actor Andy Whyment has graced our screens for the past quarter-century as the endearing Kirk Sutherland, not counting his uncredited appearances. In fact, he made brief appearances on the ITV soap in 1990 and 1997, where he was simply referred to as Mark. He also had a minor role as Wayne, a man buying fireworks in The Kabin. It wasn't until the turn of the millennium in 2000 that Andy officially joined the regular cast as Kirk. However, it's Andy's recent adventures beyond the cobbles of Weatherfield that have set tongues wagging. The soap star was among the first to witness Noel and Liam Gallagher 's homecoming performance as they kicked off their five-show run at Heaton Park on Friday night (July 11), reports the Manchester Evening News. Oasis' sold-out series of hometown gigs, which will run until July 20, are expected to draw 340,000 fans from around the world to Manchester over the coming week. Thanks to his mate Shaun Ryder, Andy got to experience the Gallagher brothers' first Manchester gig since 2009. The Corrie star and Happy Mondays frontman struck up a friendship after appearing together on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here. But Andy Whyment's own musical talents have been thrust into the spotlight following a video that surfaced on r/coronationstreet, the home of Coronation Street fans on Reddit. Captioned: "Kirk doing a bit of singing," the video sparked a flurry of fan reactions. One exclaimed: "Well, now I want a few more karaoke nights at the Rovers!" Another remarked: "In all seriousness though, Andy's vocals are excellent! it would be brilliant imo if the show had a serious singing scene with Kirk and Glenda!" A third chimed in: "That was awesome!!!!" The clip was originally posted by @traveltradeinsider on Instagram: "Based on this impromptu performance by @andywhy36 while we were at the @f1 he should be the @oasis warm up. "What a talented individual, showing how to nail the @kingsofleon Use Somebody. Thinking we need @simoncowell to get him on Celebrity X Factor!" Andy responded to the buzz: "It's was a fantastic weekend mate, always love to get up and do a song or two when there is a microphone available." The Instagram post also drew in heaps of praise. @icedabullz_1 was impressed: "Wow didn't realise that Kirk can sing better than most singers out there." @mercer. jayne enthused: "Wow Kirky, bloody brilliant!" @nelliebarfoot complimented: "Wow brilliant voice. Great tune."

'Oasis tickets cost £700 for me and my son but email hours before gig had me vomiting'
Oasis fan Phil Hessey planned to take his teenage son Kaiden to see Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher at Heaton Park in Manchester last week but things didn't go the plan for them A parent who planned to take his son to see Oasis at Heaton Park has said that he was "so overwhelmed" after receiving an email hours before the gig. He said things didn't go to plan after spending hundreds of pounds on tickets. Phil Hessey, 39, from Walton, told the Liverpool Echo that he had bought tickets for himself, his son Kaiden, 15, and a family friend for the show in Manchester on Saturday. It was Oasis' second gig at the venue, after Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher returned to Heaton Park on Friday night. He said that he managed to get one ticket for the tour last summer, when they first went on sale, and then bought two resale tickets earlier this month. The three tickets for the gig are said to have cost more than £1,000 altogether. The first ticket, given to his son, is said to have been more expensive than expected due to dynamic pricing. After hoping to get one for himself at a later date, Phil managed to get tickets for himself and the friend through Viagogo. Phil said: "My lad is a mad Oasis fan, he was brought up watching them on YouTube and all the videos - I was really into them when I was younger. The [initial] ticket advertised was £148, that turned into £394. I was like 'what' but I'd made a promise to my son that I'd get tickets, so I bought that from Ticketmaster. I hadn't bought mine, but I'd made a promise to my son that we would go, I had an idea that I could get mine later." Phil said he "kept looking" as he expected some tickets to be sold closer to the time of the tour. He told the outlet: "I bought two tickets from Viagogo on July 1, my friend had expressed interest, so I got one for me and him to go with Kaiden. "They were advertised in pounds sterling and I paid £714, which went out of my bank. They were general admission and I was over the moon - I now had three tickets. I was disgusted with how much they cost but I'd got them." Phil said that he received an email from Viagogo on Friday last week saying "the tickets will be with you". He added that he received another on Saturday morning promising that the tickets would be with him for midday. Oasis' second gig at Heaton Park was due to begin at 6pm on Saturday with support act Cast, followed by Richard Ashcroft. Oasis would then come on stage later in the evening. That morning though, Phil received another email, seen by the ECHO, that left him unable to attend the gig. Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

Phil said: "Later on Saturday, at 10.38am, I got an email saying the tickets had been cancelled. The life was sucked out of me. It said the seller was no longer able to fulfil the order. When the ticket got cancelled, I was so overwhelmed. I ran to the bathroom and was sick in the sink." He said that he still took his son to Heaton Park but that difficulties arose at the venue. He said that Kaiden's ticket was marked general admission but had a free upgrade to the front standing area, which he believed to be optional, too. Phil's said to have contacted a number of people that he knew who would be at the gig to ensure that his son would be accompanied by an adult. Phil told the ECHO that Kaiden was turned away from some gates once they had arrived. He said: "Under 16s needed an adult to go in with. I drove him, parked a mile away, walked him all the way down. I was still a bag of nerves, I wouldn't be there with him. I spoke to the stewards. I said I wanted to downgrade him, I wanted him to go in with an adult. They said that wouldn't be a problem." Phil's said to have been "in a state of panic" amid more difficulties getting Kaiden into the gig before another kind family said they would look after him. Phil said: "A random family, who I owe a massive debt of gratitude to, saw he was on his own, and said 'stay with us and we'll look after him'. He ended up enjoying the gig." Phil, who spoke about the stress caused by his ticket being cancelled at short notice, has since been issued with a refund, though was unhappy with the amount. He said: "I raised it with Viagogo and they said they couldn't get more tickets. I had to take a refund. £714.81 went out of my bank in the original transaction but I've got £679.11 back. That's a £35.70 shortfall. They've said that it's due to a conversion fee to Australian Dollars, but the tickets were advertised in pounds sterling." A Viagogo spokesperson told the ECHO that this difference in price was due to the ticket being sold in Australian Dollars. They said a discrepancy in fees was an issue to be raised with Phil's bank. Viagogo has apologised for his tickets being cancelled and told the ECHO that it is trying to find Phil tickets for a future date. Phil told the outlet that he wanted to raise awareness of his experience so that other people don't go through the same stress on the remainder of the Oasis Live '25 tour. The tour is scheduled to conclude in Brazil in November. A Viagogo spokesperson told the ECHO: "On viagogo, fans are protected by our guarantee. We ensure fans receive their tickets in time for the event and in the rare event of an issue, we offer them replacement tickets or their money back. "In this instance, the buyer had purchased the ticket in AUS dollars and therefore, was refunded the same amount in AUS dollars. The discrepancy in fees is with the bank and we advise Phil to raise the matter with his bank. Our number one priority is to get people into live events and we are deeply sorry that on this occasion, Phil was unable to attend the concert."

In the video, the camera films the tube approaching and pulling up to the platform. The train appears to be quite empty, and no one rushes over to Noel to give him any attention, despite his celeb status. In fact, it's clear that no one has recognised the 58-year-old rocker. He can be seen in a navy t-shirt and trousers, and attempts to disguise his identity with a pair of shades. Fans in the comments said the person filming was 'very lucky' after spotting Noel. Another said: 'Deffo Noel - the gold dog tag from Tiffany he always wears is a give away too.' And someone else penned: 'Tbf they're recording studio is near Paddington etc so not a surprise.' Liam Gallagher reveals new details about Oasis tour – before quickly deleting post The clip has started to go viral after being shared on social media. Last week, Noel and Liam were watched by their proud mum Peggy as the brothers performed to a sea of bucket hats, and an 80,000-strong crowd rejoiced at their return after 16 years.

"He's the angriest man you'll ever meet," he added. "He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup.' Liam later retaliates and tells NME: 'It takes more than blood to be my brother. He doesn't like me and I don't like him.' August 23, 2009 - Oasis pull out of a headline slot at V Festival in the UK due to Liam having laryngitis.
