Fans have been given a strict warning, but Liam and Noel Gallagher are making their way back to their hometown this weekend as Oasis make their comeback.
Oasis fans have been sent a warning from Heaton Park bosses ahead of the band’s mega homecoming shows this weekend. Liam and Noel Gallagher are returning to their beloved Manchester for five huge performances over the next fortnight.
They will play to around 80,000 fans every night at the sold-out gigs following their epic reunion in Cardiff last weekend. Manchester is already abuzz with Oasis fever as merchandise stands have popped up in the city. The band, which includes Bonehead, Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Joey Waronker, took to the stage for the first time in 16 years last weekend, launching their tour in Cardiff. The Britpop icons played two sold-out gigs at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium to rapturous applause.

However, for those heading to the Manchester shows they have been issued a strong warning that wasn’t given to the Cardiff fans. The UK is bracing itself for a heatwave, and bosses are urging fans to be safe.
Please stay hydrated as a hot weather forecast is for both Friday and Saturday, Heaton Park officials have urged residents. You may also bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml. This must be a piece of collapsible plastic.
On the safety grounds, “Standard plastic, metal, etc. containers are not permitted. Seals on bottles will be removed. To refill your bottle on site, there is free water.
Wear sunscreen, bring a small bottle of 200ml or less of it in, and stay protected from the sun overall/wear a hat, as the legendary bucket hat will be appearing, so you’ll fit right in! Take good care of yourself and those around you.
Fans will be happy to know that the park’s drink prices are less than those at the Cardiff shows starting at 3 p.m. Fans in the Welsh capital were paying £8.20 for a pint, whereas Mancunians can expect to pay £6.50 instead.
Richard Ashcroft will perform at 7 p.m., while Oasis’ support acts Cast and Richard Ashcroft will take the stage at 6 p.m. At 8:15 p.m., the Gallagher brothers will leave together, and there will be a 10 p.m. curfew.
The Gallagher brothers and their band will play a number of shows in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin before traveling to North and South America, Asia, and Australia, in addition to their Manchester dates scheduled for July 11 and 12.
As Manchester prepares to welcome 1.3 million music tourists this summer, it is undoubtedly Oasis ready. The band’s band has already been adorned with hundreds of signs, murals, and the launch of MCR Live 25, a festival bar, and music-themed markets.
A plethora of guitar-themed artworks and exhibitions have also taken over the city’s streets, squares, shop windows and other venues. Manchester’s Central Library is hosting a week-long series of Oasis-themed activities.
