Oasis fans are ALREADY queuing for first of five sold-out Heaton Park reunion gigs after Noel and Liam Gallagher touched down on home soil

by

Fans of Oasis are already lining up as they prepare for the first of their five sold-out reunion concerts at Heaton Park.

On Friday, the band will perform for approximately 80,000 fans in their hometown, Manchester, following their world tour launch in Cardiff a week ago.

At Heaton Park, located in both Bury and Manchester, you’ll find unique outdoor shows; these are the only concerts in the UK that occur outside of stadiums, while other events take place at venues such as the Principality Stadium, Wembley, and Murrayfield.

Already, enthusiastic admirers of the brothers have taken spots at the front of the queue, anticipating a prime viewing location for the upcoming event.

Folks were spotted setting up camp along the roadside, where they waited patiently in line, surrounded by an ocean of portable chairs and brimmed hats.

28-degree heat in Manchester left revelers sweating and seeking relief by either waving fans or taking cover beneath umbrellas to escape the intense sunshine.

Last August, the brothers revealed plans for the Oasis Live ’25 tour, commencing with performances in Cardiff, followed by a journey through venues across the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Although many fans eagerly looked forward to the reunion event, a portion of them felt enraged when the prices for standard tickets in the UK and Ireland surged from £148 to an unprecedented £355.

As a devoted supporter, I found myself deeply engaged in the ongoing debate, leading me to express my commitment towards examining the practice of dynamic pricing. This exploration will be undertaken by both the Government and the UK’s competition authority, as they have publicly pledged to do so.

In the months of July, August, and September, following their concerts in Manchester, Oasis plans to perform at Wembley Stadium in London, Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, and Croke Park in Dublin.

The group will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America.

The film, which is being created by Steven Knight – the brain behind Peaky Blinders, is being developed alongside a tour that brings together the band members.

However, concerns have arisen that Oasis’ return concert in Manchester might be disrupted by unauthorized attendees due to reckless TikTok users posting guidance on how to bypass the venue security.

Due to an overwhelming interest in the concerts, which were held in Manchester after a gap of 16 years, TikTok users have started posting advice on bypassing security measures.

One possibility could be rephrased as follows: You might consider climbing trees as a means to surmount the double fence, or you could attempt to swim across the boating lake in the park.

Instead, the TikToker instructed his audience, “You need to go over this fence first, and then you’ll be right in the Oasis.

Another said: ‘You get in the water, you’ve got to swim and then you’ll get in.’ 

The Manchester City Council has criticized the videos and encouraged ticketless fans to appreciate the ‘fantastic’ ambiance in the city center rather than attending.

The Greater Manchester Police plans to deploy a substantial and noticeable law enforcement presence as a deterrent against misconduct.

This 600-acre outdoor area regularly plays host to the yearly Parklife festival and served as the location for Oasis’s final city performance on June 7, 2009.

In the previous year, authorities enforced a clearance mandate over the park to keep ticketless spectators from congregating offsite.

At the SJM Concerts-led gathering, it was mentioned that approximately 2,000 security personnel and an appreciable amount of law enforcement officers will be ensuring safety during the event.

For over a year, we’ve collaborated with multiple councils and emergency services to make certain that the Oasis concerts at Heaton Park are secure for every ticket holder.

According to Rob Ballantine, the director of SJM Concerts, it’s advisable that those who don’t have tickets refrain from going to Heaton Park.

It’s true we’ve seen TikTok videos about the event, but they don’t reveal some crucial details. For instance, there will be over 2,000 stewards on duty, along with a substantial number of police officers. Moreover, the entire site is encircled by a double fence line for security, and mobile patrols are stationed between these fences.
