Huge steel fences are erected ahead of upcoming Oasis reunion gigs to stop ticketless fans from watching show ‘for free’ as Gallagher brothers return to Heaton Park

BBG News

massive iron barriers have been set up at Heaton Park in Manchester, preventing non-ticketed Oasis groupies from attending their comeback concert.

On the 4th of July, Oasis, famous for their “Wonderwall” hits, began their Oasis Live ’25 Tour in Cardiff. Continuing this tour, they played two homecoming shows at the venue on Friday and Saturday.

Yet, a state of confusion arose as hundreds of enthusiastic fans, allegedly, attempted and were unsuccessful in forcing their way through the barriers to attend the concerts of the iconic Britpop bands.

People additionally collected to catch a peek at the large screens in what is now known as ‘Gallagher Hill’, boasting about enjoying the tour without paying.

Currently, Manchester City Council is advising fans without tickets for the Oasis concert at Heaton Park not to make the journey due to safety concerns. Additionally, large barriers have been set up to obstruct views from outside the event area.

The Council advises: “There are three more Oasis concerts scheduled at Manchester’s Heaton Park, after their two highly successful weekend shows. The city council is once again asking fans who do not have tickets not to make the trip to the park.

Based on the evaluation of the first two nights, it’s been decided that extra precautions are required for the upcoming three shows. These steps will be implemented to safeguard the park environment, preserve the parkland and surrounding farm animals, and ensure public security.

‘The plans also involve constructing a steel fence around a substantial part of the hill situated within the main park, which is at present being transformed into a new woodland zone. This area has been recently populated with approximately 300 saplings such as Hornbeam, Field Maple, Aspen, Downy birch, Rowan, Common Alder, Crab apple, and others. Additionally, steps will be taken to safeguard the livestock in this field, which include pregnant and nursing cows, as well as a bull.’

Here’s a more conversational way of saying that: ‘Building a fence around the area serves two important functions. It helps preserve the environment by preventing any further harm, and it also discourages people from congregating there. Consequently, you won’t be able to see the concert from this location anymore.’

On Friday, it was said that fans attempted to rush into Heaton Park, as the group started their series of five performances at the location.

Reports suggest that the authorities had to step in when people tried to sneak into a concert that was already sold out, with videos displaying overturned metal fencing.

Some individuals who couldn’t secure tickets for the event seemingly took it upon themselves to bypass the rules and attempted to climb over the fence.

As reported by Manchester Evening News, a bystander asserted that approximately fifty individuals allegedly attempted to force their way through one of the internal entry points leading to the performance venue.

Initially, it was assumed that 10 individuals managed to enter, but according to reports, the remaining ones were detained and denied entry.

Later on, the police confirmed to MEN that “no one managed to reach the concert venue.

As a connoisseur of all things lifestyle, let me share an intriguing fact: the events held at Heaton Park, a sprawling 600-acre green space nestled between Bury and Manchester, are quite unique in the UK. Unlike shows that typically take place within stadiums like the Principality Stadium, Wembley, or Murrayfield, these events at Heaton Park buck the trend, creating a distinct outdoor atmosphere that’s hard to beat!

A number of enthusiastic fans got a wonderful surprise when they managed to attend the bands’ opening night at Heaton Park without paying a penny.

Instead of paying hundreds, some people watched the reunion gig on their television screens, while others attended it.

Large screens, stretching 84 meters in length and 12 meters in width, were utilized for admitting and exiting a significant number of people at the park.

Speaking as a lifestyle expert, I find myself in a privileged position, fielding an endless stream of enticing invitations from renowned music festivals eager for me, or rather my band Oasis, to headline their events. It’s quite the spectacle!

A trustworthy source informed The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre section: “The amount of proposals that Oasis’ teams are receiving secretly would astound fans if they knew.

As a devoted fan, I eagerly anticipate the possibility of iconic bands like Oasis gracing the stage at American festivals such as Coachella, and European events like Benicassim, for their headlining performances next year.

‘Then you have businesses and individuals who want them to perform. The offers are endless.’

However, it appears that Oasis, having reconciled earlier this year following the truce between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, are reportedly focusing their efforts on the ongoing Oasis Live ’25 Tour at present.

Following a further three Manchester shows, Oasis will head to London, Edinburgh, and Dublin.

Later on, they plan to travel to the United States, Canada, and Mexico, possibly modifying their Oasis Live ’25 setlist during their journey.
