Oasis fans have begun bidding to purchase grass and the bottled “atmosphere” from their most recent Heaton Park performances in Manchester, with tatty items from the performances drawing thousands of pounds of interest.
Brothers Liam, 52, and Noel Gallagher, 58, greeted fans with joy this year as they opened their 41-date Oasis Live ’25 Tour. The brothers, who famously got into a fight during their 2009 tour, buried the hatchet after promising never to play together again. They are now receiving rave reviews from music critics and fans as they play shows in front of packed-out venues.
When their tour first became available, countless fans were left furious as demand for tickets grew exponentially and tickets became expensive. Many people spent a fortune getting tickets to the concerts, and many others were bitterly disappointed as they waited for hours only for the tickets to be purchased in front of them.
An empty soft drink bottle filled with grass from one of the recent Manchester gigs has been posted online for auction, and it has attracted surprising sums from those desperate to own a little bit of British pop history. Some Oasis fans are now proving they have more money than sense. More than 300,000 people will have seen Liam and Noel perform at Heaton Park after performances on July 11, 12, 16, 19, and 20 in recent days.

A cunning fan has taken to eBay to offer those who didn’t attend the change to own a part of one of the gigs. The seller is selling a Pepsi bottle that is empty save for some blades of grass that have been stuffed into the plastic container.
A green wristband can also be worn during one of Heaton Park’s five nights. The listing simply states, “Atmosphere And Grass From Heaton Park Oasis Concert (11th July 2025, Homecoming),” with a “good” description and a strict no-refunds policy.
The items have so far attracted six bids, pushing the price higher than £7,700, despite being arguably unrelated. Resale tickets cost thousands when purchased online, though the most expensive tickets were offered for the Oasis gigs when they first went on sale. These packages included access to a pre-show party, exhibition, and seated concert experience.

The Heaton Park gigs have received glowing reviews so far, with the Oasis gigs particularly drawing glowing reviews from fans and critics alike. Daniel Bird, a very personal The Mirror contributor, described the evening as “electric” at the Manchester venue.
You could never have imagined there was once a feud between the two siblings, he wrote in his letter to Heaton Park. The two legends put on a strong performance when they performed their 2000 song, F***in’ In The Bushes, to an audience of 80, 000 people, instantly electricing the atmosphere.
Showbiz Editor Mark Jefferies, who admitted he was blown away by the performance, also expressed his satisfaction with the Heaton Park performances.
He recounted how Noel pointed over to his brother in a clear display of admiration and expressed his appreciation for Liam’s performance on Saturday night at the end of the show. The stage was completely indistinguishable from their previous rows, which was shocking.
Mark asked, “Would I like more stage interaction? ” after having been able to attend three of the first four Oasis tours’ opening four shows in Wales. Of course. Additionally, some of the lines on stage are now planned out, which is not very Oasis-like. However, the Gallaghers have matured, and this kind of set is what they need to get things moving. Just like their mature fans, who can only manage to jump up and down for the occasional song in three these days.
Oasis will be on the road for most of the rest of the year as they thrill fans around the globe. After taking on the UK, the Gallagher brothers will jet to North America, Asia, Australia and more.
The MorumBIS stadium in So Paulo, Brazil, is where they will play on Sunday, November, for the final night of their tour.
By defeating Daniel Dubois in round five, Oleksandr Usyk became a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion, further cementing his position as one of boxing’s greats.
In front of 90,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium, the Ukrainian staged a masterclass to sabotage Dubois’ hopes of becoming the first Briton to bring the division together in the four-belt era.
In the fifth, Usyk, 38, put Dubois in danger, but he was unable to turn around and beat the count the following time.
Dubois was also stopped by him in 2023, which would increase his unbeaten professional streak to 24 victories.
“I’m sorry]Dubois], it’s sport. My people wished this victory, Usyk told DAZN.
Nothing comes next,” the message. It’s sufficient. Next, I’d like to unwind. I want to be at peace right now, my wife, my kids. I want to take a two- or three-month break.
Dubois, who defeated Anthony Joshua to win the IBF title in September, had a third straight defeat in 25 professional matches, with each loss coming within the reach of the finish line.
Usyk reclaimed the IBF belt, which he had taken away from him just weeks after the division’s unification in 2023, and added it to his WBA (Super), WBO, and WBC belts.
I gave everything I had, so I have to give credit to him for the performance. I’ll be back, Dubois told DAZN, “Take no credit from that man, I’ll be back.”
Usyk is still the heavyweight champion.

The legendary boxing stars Roy Jones Jr. and Frank Bruno were present at the event’s significance.
Joseph Parker, the interim heavyweight champion, was also keeping an eye on the proceedings as he searched for a date with the next champion.
After Dubois had also been cheered to the ring, Usyk, who has since called the UK his second home, received a warm welcome.
With a counter left in each of the opening two rounds, Southpaw Usyk had his younger foe looking a little shaky in the second round.
Dubois consulted his father Stan between rounds for advice, but he still had trouble finding the 2012 Olympic gold medalist.
In the fifth, Usyk unloaded him and sent him crashing to the ground with a sharp left.
Dubois showed incredible spirit in beating the count, but the proof was already in the pudding.

Dubois is in a difficult position and will need another rebuild after a third career defeat.
The 27-year-old has not defeated a champion to win a world title; he first defended his title against Joshua after winning the interim IBF title.
Dubois regained his confidence after his most recent defeat suffered by Usyk, but this defeat will set him back in several ways.
With Agit Kabayel, WBC “Regular” champion Kubrat Pulev, or even Deontay Wilder to choose from, he will have plenty of options.
In contrast, Usyk has the upper hand in the glamour division of boxing and has his choice.
“Tyson Fury might be it.” Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua, possibly Joseph Parker, are our options, Usyk told DAZN, according to Usyk.
Usyk looked as good as ever despite the concerns that Dubois’ team had regarding his age during fight week.
