Oasis' Gallagher Hill turned into rubbish dump after fans' behaviour at Heaton Park gigs
Oasis' now infamous Gallagher Hill has been turned into a rubbish dump following the Heaton Park gigs. New pictures reveal how much rubbish has been left on the site following the gigs.
Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher reunited for a set of gigs this summer, kicking off at Cardiff, before they headed to Heaton Park in their hometown of Manchester.
However, many fans have struggled to get tickets to the gig and thus headed to another area of Heaton Park, where they could see the stage from a vantage point. The council later erected a fence there to stop fans from viewing the gig.
Last night, a thousand fans who had gathered at the Hill were given an exclusive Oasis t-shirt, branded with 'Gallagher Hill'. It certainly went down a storm with the fans as they soaked up the electric atmosphere.
Noel's daughter, Anais, shared a photo of two revellers proudly wearing their new shirts with the caption: "Giving out these t-shirts on Gallagher Hill is [love emoji]. Now I just need a Gallagher Hill bracelet."
Two fans revealed that a man on a golf buggy arrived to give out the shirts. They said: "He just came and was handing them out, he looked official. He said, 'They're from Liam but I've only got a thousand.'" A source added: "Noel and Liam wanted to do something to honour their fans who'd been given a kick in the teeth from the council.
"Their fans had gathered on the hill to listen to the show if they didn't have tickets and those in a good position could get a sight of the screens until the council bores tried to stop the fun. Noel and Liam wanted to make a point to their fans who couldn't get tickets so had these T-shirts made especially for them."
There was also a tribute to those on Gallagher Hill during the final gig at Heaton Park, where the screens showed black and white footage of the fans on the hill. He also said: "I've been hearing there's loads of people over there behind some hill or something. Yeah I wanna dedicate this tune to them. Right, so if you lot are listening on that f*****g hill, Bring It On Down."
The council erected a fence on the hill to stop fans from seeing the screens at the gig. Councillor John Hacking had urged fans without tickets to enjoy "a real party atmosphere" in the city centre instead.
"The steps being taken ahead of the next concert regretfully mean the distant view of the large screens behind the event stage will no longer be there," he said, before adding that the council were "forced" to put the fence up to protect the trees and livestock.

This England: Stop eating your heart out
If a lack of tickets to the Oasis reunion is eating away at you, cheer yourself up with Liam Gallagher lasagne. Liam sang about eating the pasta dish in the song 'Digsy's Dinner' on the band's debut album, Definitely Maybe. The 2ft-wide special was unveiled at Asda in Pilsworth, along with a Digsy's Dinner deal. Fans shopping there will receive a free portion of strawberries and cream, also mentioned in the song, if they buy any lasagne. Manchester Evening News (Amanda Welles) And now we move on to liars… A parish priest has written one hell of a farewell letter after stepping down from the Holy Family Catholic Church in Coventry after nine years. He's hit out at 'unfriendly' parishioners giving him 'disdainful' looks and 'tutting for a living'. In a poem called 'Not I Lord Surely!', Father Pat Brennan suggested the number of people attending his church, which has dwindled over the years, could be due to 'gossiping' parishioners. In the church newsletter he said he was leaving the parish, noting: 'You can't please all the people'. BBC News (Adam Robertson) Müller investigation In the midst of a third heatwave of the summer, Ben Roberts, a senior lecturer at Loughborough University, said applying yoghurt to the outside of windows can lower the temperature by 3.5°C. He told the BBC the yoghurt smells for '30 seconds when drying' and reflects some solar radiation.
