Ticketless Oasis fans previously took to ‘Gallagher Hill’ to catch a glimpse of the giant screens that showed the concert in Heaton Park, but the area was soon fenced off
Oasis fans were fuming when the council put up fences around ‘Gallagher Hill’ to stop ticketless fans from gathering to watch the Heaton Park gigs from a distance. Over the last few sold-out shows in Manchester, many took to the area to watch the large screens showing the concert.
However, the fun quickly ended as Manchester City Council soon erected fences around the hill to “dissuade people from gathering there” Councillor John Hacking told ticketless fans of the recently reunited group to head to the city centre to enjoy “a real party atmosphere” instead of hanging around the park.

Hacking explained: “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”.
The council’s hand was “forced” into placing the fences to protect the trees, livestock, grass and the safety of the park, Hacking claimed.
Furious fans rushed to social media to slam the decision, with one fan writing on X/Twitter: “People can’t have fun in the UK anymore,” and another posting: “Gigs sold out, why do they care? Miserable twats.”
“Shame on Bury/Manchester council for fencing off ‘Gallagher Hill’. Stripping people of as much joy as they can. It’s no different than standing outside Heaton Park or living in a high building where you can still see.
“They can blame it on mess as much as they want,” another angry fan commented.
One added: “Putting fences up on Gallagher Hill is bang out of order.. what harm were they doing? Miserable f**kers.. they’ll find another way to watch from afar and I hope they do so we can go down this weekend!”

Gallagher Hill caught the attention of Oasis guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, who is credited with reuniting Liam and Noel. He shared a video of fans enjoying the concert from outside the venue, alongside the caption: “No tickets needed,” alongside red heart emojis.
Police have already been cracking down on ticketless fans in the area as some even tried to hop the fence in order to see the Gallagher brothers.
Greater Manchester Police reported six people had been arrested for trying to get into the shows with “fake accreditation”, while others had been caught trying to force their way through a perimeter fence. Oasis are set to play another three shows at Heaton Park on 16, 19 and 20 July.
Noel and Liam Gallagher started their reunion tour earlier this month with two dates in Cardiff, Wales.
