Oasis are set to return home to play Manchester’s Heaton Park this weekend for their five show run in the city and the weather is to be scorching
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.
