Oasis 2025: Your complete guide ahead of sold out Heaton Park shows
Hundreds of thousands of fans are expected to visit Heaton Park for the iconic band's long awaited return after a bitter 15-year split.
A yellow heat health alert has been issued for the weekend - with Manchester expected to reach highs of 30C on Friday and 31C on Saturday - and fans are being advised to drink plenty of water and wear suncream and a hat.
The band, who formed in 1991, are known for the hits Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger and Stop Crying Your Heart Out.
The UK and Ireland tour began at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, before it comes to Manchester, moving on to London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July and August.
With close to half a million fans expected to descend on Heaton Park, here is your complete guide to the event:
When are Oasis due to perform in Manchester?
Oasis have five sold out shows at Heaton Park - making it, and Wembley Stadium, the venues with the highest number of consecutive tour dates.
The Gallagher brothers will be performing on:
Fri 11 Jul – Heaton Park, Manchester
Sat 12 Jul – Heaton Park, Manchester
Wed 16 Jul – Heaton Park, Manchester
Sat 19 Jul – Heaton Park, Manchester
Sun 20 Jul – Heaton Park, Manchester
Gates will open at 3pm, and while stage times have yet to be confirmed the gig will end at 10.30pm.
Who are supporting Oasis?
For the UK and Ireland leg of Oasis' world tour, they'll be supported by Wigan -born musician Richard Ashcroft, who first found fame as lead singer The Verve and is known for hits such as Bittersweet Symphony and Drugs Don't Work.
They will also be supported by Liverpool Britpop band Cast, which has previously embarked on a number of tours with Oasis. In 1996, Noel Gallagher described watching the band live as a "religious experience".
How can fans get there?
Organisers have partnered with a number of organisations with an aim to make it easy for fans to get to Heaton Park, but engineering works across Manchester may cause some disruption.
For those coming from outside of Manchester, organisers recommend using their official partner Big Green Coach, which offers drop-off and pick-up options both before and after the show.
Coaches will run from cities and towns across the north of England as far away as Newcastle, while also offering routes from London Victoria.
All of the coaches will arrive at Heaton Park before the music starts, and take fans home after the gig finishes.
Closer to Heaton Park, the Bee Network will be operating a dedicated bus service from Lever Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Tickets for the shuttle bus must be bought in advance for £10 on the Bee Network app.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) also recommend the tram as the easiest way to travel to Heaton Park from Manchester's city centre.
However engineering work will be taking place at Piccadilly Gardens, which means there will be no trams operating from Piccadilly Station to Heaton Park.
For fans planning to get the tram after the gig, TfGM has warned that the Heaton Park tram stop will be closed from 9pm.
Instead, those looking to get back to the city centre will be directed to the nearby Bowker Vale tram stop.
Organisers have also warned that there will be no regular or disabled parking available at Heaton Park.
What is the advice for the heatwave?
With temperatures of up to 31C forecasted on Friday and Saturday fans are being urged to stay hydrated and take precautions.
Gig-goers can bring an empty plastic bottle - of 500ml or less - which can be refilled at a number of stations around the site. Those without a bottle can get an empty cup from the welfare tent to use at refill points.
It is also advised to bring and wear suncream - as long as it is in a small bottle of 200ml of less - and wear a hat.
What rules are in place at Heaton Park?
To keep everyone safe and avoid overcrowding, a number of restrictions are in place during all of the Heaton Park shows.
To maximise space, the gigs will all be fully standing with no seating offered and no outside seated allowed into the park. While there is a designated accessible viewing platform with seating, tickets for this area has sold out.
Organisers are also recommending fans do not bring any bags with them, as they will be made to wait in long queues where their bags will be checked.
If attendees do bring a bag, they must be no bigger than an A4 piece of paper.
A number of items are banned including:
Are tickets still available?
Unfortunately, tickets for Oasis' Heaton Park shows sold out in less than ten hours. While other venues received extra dates after the phenomenal demand, the band currently has no plans to return to Manchester as part of their world tour.

Pep Guardiola parties with Gallagher family at Oasis homecoming gig
The homecoming of Oasis in their long-awaited Manchester gig turned into a family affair with the children of Noel and Liam Gallagher pictured together backstage for a gig many in the city thought would never happen. More than 70,000 people descended on Manchester to witness the concert in Heaton Park, with the Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, among the crowds. Guardiola had the song D'You Know What I Mean dedicated to him by Liam, who referred to the Spaniard as 'the boss', calling him the 'greatest manager of all time', a comment which provided the only decisive moment for the adoring crowd – many of whom hailed from the red half of the city. Guardiola was pictured with Liam's two sons Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24, and Noel's three children Anais, 25, Donovan, 17 and Sonny, 14. Gene, whose mother is Liam's ex-wife Nicole Appleton, shared the image to Instagram, with the caption: 'Pic of the century alright now everyone els fuck off.' Noel also dedicated the song Half The World Away to Royale Family actor Craig Cash and his co-star Caroline Aherne, who died of cancer in July 2016, at the age of 52. The song was used as the theme tune in the BBC comedy. At about 8.20pm, the brothers walked on to the stage together to deafening cheers from crowds. Liam, wearing a zipped-up parka in 30C weather, held his older brother's hand and raised it. The duo started with their song Hello, which was followed by Acquiesce. Morning Glory came after in a set that was full of the band's greatest hits. Fans had to wait until the encore to hear Don't Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall. Greater Manchester police said the event passed 'without incident', although six men were arrested and in custody for a range of reasons including being drunk and disorderly and on suspicion of drug and fraud offences. Five drones were also seized after breaches of airspace restrictions. Oasis-fever gripped the city this week before the gig. Huge pictures of the brothers were splashed on the side of the city's yellow buses, and Liam Gallagher's voice made on the Metrolink tram network, telling fans: 'The next stop is … Heaton Parrrk,' before adding: 'Off you go.' The Guardian spoke to fans queueing for the gig before it began, including some who had travelled from as far as the US and Mexico. Many were wearing bucket hats in the scorching heat. In a post on social media, the band urged concertgoers to 'wear a (bucket) hat', put on sun screen, stay hydrated, seek shade and look after one another at Heaton Park. Carley Williams, 27, from Boston, in the US, spent more than $15,000 (£11,000) to visit Manchester for two weeks and see the five home town gigs. 'I've just never been more excited in my life,' she said. 'This is like what I've lived my life to do, so I just have never experienced this level of anticipation in my life, and I'm just loving every minute of it.' The five sold-out shows there follow the band's first comeback gigs in Cardiff last week. In a five-star review, the Guardian called it a 'triumph in the bag'. After Manchester, Oasis will visit London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September.
