Oasis are playing the last of their Manchester shows at Heaton Park on Sunday
Tens of thousands of people descended once again on Manchester for the penultimate gig in Oasis’ epic homecoming shows.
Over 70,000 people flocked to Heaton Park for the huge gig on Saturday night, with ‘thousands’ more fans also making the journey to nearby Gallagher Hill to listen to the band perform.
Amid a yellow thunderstorm weather warning and another huge concert taking place in Manchester on the same night in Billie Eilish, a huge operation was put in place for the concert.
And, despite previous gigs seeing a number of ticketless fans attempting to storm into the concert or use ladders to gain entry, Greater Manchester Police said the Saturday night concert passed ‘without any major incidents’.
A number of people were arrested, however, for a range of offences, police said.
In a statement issued after the gig, GMP said: “We’re pleased to report the penultimate Manchester #OasisLive25 event has concluded without any major incidents.
“Officers made 14 arrests for offences including fraud, drunk driving, and assault. We’ll be back for the final event tomorrow.”
Oasis will round off their five shows in Manchester on Sunday night (July 20), before taking their tour across the UK and overseas.
