Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher will take to the stage in Manchester again on tonight for their second Heaton Park performance on the current Oasis Live ’25 Tour
Saturday night sees Oasis take to the stage of Manchester’s Heaton Park for the second of five nights in their home city on their Oasis Live ’25 Tour. Brothers Noel, 58, and Liam Gallagher, 52, kicked off their 41 date world tour on 4 July with a debut performance in Cardiff, Wales.
But it is their homecoming shows that many fans have been waiting for – with the first night thrilling crowds when the brothers took to the stage on Friday night. After two dates in Cardiff, reports have suggested the band have found a new confidence while performing in front of a home crowd as they play their Manchester dates on July 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20.
And following a barnstorming opening night on Friday, fans can now know what to expect when Liam and Noel take to the stage on Saturday for their second show. With dozens of classic hits, pyrotechnics, and plenty of swagger, the Gallagher brothers will entertain 80,000 people at the 600-acre park in the north of Manchester.
Fans should plan for extreme heat as well as big hits on Saturday night. Here are some details of what to expect…
Venue and support acts
Oasis are playing to huge crowds at their Heaton Park venue in Manchester in July. Fans will be granted access to the venue from 3pm with the music beginning from 6pm sharp.
Iconic Britpop band Cast are first to take to the stage to entertain the 80,000 strong crowd with an hour long set, with Richard Ashcroft taking over at 7pm. Liam and Noel will then take to the stage with their band at 9pm where they will blast through 23 of their hits.
The gig will end at 10:30pm – but revellers will find plenty of places to grab drinks and celebrate nearby in the centre of Manchester and surrounding areas.
Headline performance
While fans in Cardiff were delighted by the reunion tour earlier this week, production of the show has stepped up a gear for the Manchester shows. Screens showing visuals and relaying footage of the band while they perform measure at 84 metres by 12 metres for the Heaton Park shows – 20 metres bigger than those used for the shows at the Principality Stadium in Wales.
Having smashed through the two Welsh shows, reviewers attending the first of the Manchester gigs on Friday noted that the boys had eased into their showman roles. The Mirror’s Daniel Bird said: “Walking out at Heaton Park, you could never have imagined that there was once a feud between the two siblings. Putting on a united front, the two legends walked out to their 2000 track, F***in’ In The Bushes, to a crowd of 80,000 people, with the atmosphere instantly becoming electric.”
The brothers, while stood apart for the gig, shared banter with the crowd, sing side-by-side, duet and engage the audience to sing together on epic songs including Champagne Supernova.
The show climaxes with a huge fireworks finale – with crowds then spilling onto the streets of Manchester where songs echo around the city.
Weather warning
Hell may have frozen over in order for Liam and Noel to reunite as Oasis, but the temperature at Heaton Park is anything but chilly this weekend. Temperatures are set to hit 30C on Saturday as the lads prepare to take to the stage in the Manchester area.
The weather will not let up during their performance – and the air will remain hot until well after sunset, which is at 9:33pm. The mercury will dip to 25C as the sun goes down – but will remain in the 20s until well after midnight.
Despite the boiling weather, showman Liam has worn his trademark parka jacket – sweating away while also singing away. On Friday night, Noel opted for a more weather friendly polo shirt and shades – with the older brother also commenting on the sun-kissed appearance of the crowds who gathered in the park for hours before the headline act began.
Fans should plan for sunshine and heat. Concert organisers have advised the crowds to wear hats, sunscreen and to drink plenty of water.
Setlist
Oasis revealed their setlist at the first shows in Cardiff at the beginning of the month and there are rumours the boys may change up the running order of their songs as they remain on the road until 23 November when the tour ends in Brazil. However, so far the set list has remained unchanged from their first night. The current running order is;
