Oasis Reunion at Heaton Park in Manchester: start time, tickets, potential setlist and what you need to know
Oasis' 2025 summer reunion tour is, for many Brits, the year's most hotly anticipated event – and it's already underway. The Gallagher brothers got back together last Friday and Saturday for their first reunion shows in Cardiff and delivered two spectacular shows that were worth every bit of the hype, with top-notch performances and setlists packed with hits not heard for decades. Over 900,000 tickets have been sold for the brothers' UK shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh, where they'll play some of the country's grandest, most legendary arenas. Nowhere, however, is the Oasis hype quite like it is in Manchester.

Oasis played three nights at Heaton Park back in 2009 and this time they've upped the ante, lining up five dates. It's no exaggeration to say that Oasis' 2025 Heaton Park shows are expected to be full-blown cultural events.

Shakira had album pulled to add Hips Don't Lie
Shakira's 'Hips Don't Lie' almost never made it onto her album. The 48-year-old singer had completed work on her 2005 record 'Oral Fixation, Vol. 2' but she then got into the studio with Wylcef Jean and knew instantly they had a hit on their hands, so she called her record company boss and begged him to pull the LP so the extra track could be added. Speaking on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she said: "I remember my album was already distributed, and then this idea came up, and Wyclef and I met and we started working on this track. 'I started working with Wyclef, and I knew I had a hit, so I called Donny Lenner, who was in charge at the time of [Epic Records], and I said, 'Donny, you have to pick up the albums from the stores,' and he's like, 'No way, these albums are already out there. "I'm like, 'You've got to believe me. You've got to trust me. You do that, we have a hit.' And he said, 'OK, so I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you on this one,' and he did it and we kind of had to repackage the albums, and it changed my story." The collaboration with Wyclef came right after Shakira had spookily had a dream about him. She said: "You know, the funniest thing is that I had a dream, the most random dream about Wyclef. It wasn't a sexual dream! It was just a dream. And then I woke up and my manager called me and said, 'Wyclef wants to work with you.' " Meanwhile, Shakira is proud to have sold out 11 shows in Mexico City and have the number one tour in the world for the second month in a row and she thinks its a special experience for fans. She said: 'It's incredible. I've been working on this tour for a year, preparing every single detail, from the visuals to the music. I've put together my biggest set list. I'm singing some of my classic songs, from 'Hips Don't Lie' to 'Whenever, Whatever' to the most recent ones. 'And it's a pretty huge production. It's a huge effort to tour with this production around Latin America. It's probably the biggest production that's ever traveled Latin America. It weighs like 93 tons. The screen is huge and it's 145 people traveling… "So when you show up and you see so many people dancing and singing and crying and getting emotional. It's a party, but people really, really connect with this music. It's been like the soundtrack of their lives, for many of my fans.'

Oasis Charts A New No. 1 Hit Ahead Of The Band's Reunion Tour
Oasis sends 'Some Might Say' to No. 1 on multiple U.K. charts for the first time after re-releasing ... More the tune on vinyl to celebrate its thirtieth anniversary. Group portrait of British rock band Oasis at Nomad Studios in Manchester, United Kingdom, 29th November 1993. L-R Paul Arthurs (aka Bonehead), Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher, Tony McCarroll, Paul McGuigan. (Photo by) Oasis enjoyed one of the longest reigns ever as one of the most commercially successful bands in the United Kingdom. In the decades since the band broke up, the group's music has continued to stream and sell incredibly well. For a long time, there was no hope of a reunion, and brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher traded vicious barbs in the press. But countless prayers were answered in 2024, when the rock outfit announced a comeback. New music isn't expected, but Oasis is heading out on tour this summer ahead of what will surely be one of the highest-grossing and most exciting concert treks of the year. Shortly before beginning the trek, the band re-released one of its biggest hits, and it has now become a smash all over again. Oasis celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of "Some Might Say" by releasing the track on vinyl. Superfans of the group purchased copies of the pearl wax record in large enough numbers to make it a chart-topper on multiple lists in the U.K. "Some Might Say" appears on four charts in the U.K. this frame. It leads three of them and, interestingly, manages to reach the summit on three tallies in three different ways. The track debuts atop the Official Vinyl Singles chart. It rockets from No. 53 to No. 1 on the Official Physical Singles ranking. At the same time, it reenters the Official Singles Sales roster in first place. Oasis collects its third No. 1 on the Official Singles Sales chart with "Some Might Say." The band has previously topped that list, which factors in both digital and physical purchases, alongside "Supersonic" and "Whatever." The group earns a fourth champion on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, following "Stand by Me" as well as both "Supersonic" and "Whatever." The latter track dominated for three frames — the same length of time that "Stand by Me" managed. "Some Might Say" sold so well that it also returns to the Official Singles chart, which blends both purchases and streaming activity to show what U.K. music fans are listening to and consuming. On that ranking, where it originally opened at No. 1 back in 1995, it returns at No. 55 30 years later.

Megan Thee Stallion set to launch her own Popeyes location
Megan Thee Stallion is leveling up her empire with the announcement that she's opening her own Popeyes franchise. The Grammy-winning rapper took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes look at the early stages of construction. 'My very own @popeyes is opening this summer, Hotties! I just stopped by to check out the location — it's still just the bones right now, but this is about to be the littest Popeyes ever!' she wrote. This move into the fast food world isn't her first time collaborating with Popeyes, she previously partnered with the chain for a hot sauce launch in 2021 but now, Megan is taking full ownership, bringing her signature flair to the business. And the Popeyes news is just the start. Megan has also dropped her latest single, 'Whatever,' which marks the beginning of Act III, the next chapter in her MEGAN series. The track blends confidence, raw energy, and the kind of punchy bars fans have come to expect from the Houston-born star. On TikTok Live, Megan teased details about the upcoming album. While she's being strategic with who she features, she made one thing clear: 'I only want to do features with artists I haven't worked with yet, or ones I genuinely listen to in my own time…people I actually f*ck with.' She went on to name one artist she's hoping to collaborate with: Doechii. When fans asked in the comments, Megan didn't hesitate. 'I love Doechii, b*tch. I do wanna do a song with Doechii. That is on my album wishlist.' With a new restaurant on the way and fresh music heating up, Megan Thee Stallion is setting the tone for a major summer, one track, and one drumstick, at a time.
