Some might say it’s going to be the biggest set of the tour. Oasis fans are ready to head to Manchester’s Heaton Park this weekend for the iconic band’s homecoming.

And with the weather forecast set to hit huge heights, the venue is ready to bend the rules just for the fans in attendance. Get your bucket hats at the ready to sing along the Liam and Noel Gallagher, with temperatures set to reach up to 32C (90F) this weekend.

And with such heat, comes responsibility for the venue who are said to be preparing to relax some of their strict guidelines. With organisers advising attendees to take extra care of themselves and each other in the heat, they are now allowing concert goers to bring a sealed plastic bottle of water up to 500ml into the venue.

For safety reasons, any bottle brought on the day must be made of collapsible plastic. Therefore, metal and solid plastic bottles will not be allowed in. Any unsealed bottles will also be emptied before entry.

To help with the weather situation, there will also be water refill points dotted around the location. And small bottles of sunscreen up to 200ml will also be allowed in for the event.

“With a very hot weather forecast on both Friday and Saturday please stay hydrated, you will be permitted to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml. This must be collapsible plastic,” organisers said.

They added: “Wear sunscreen, you will be permitted to bring in a small bottle 200ml or under and protect yourself from the sun overall/wear a hat; we know the legendary bucket hat will be making an appearance, so you’ll fit right in! Look after yourself and those around you.”

On Saturday, the lowest temperature is set to come at 4am – 18C. However, it’s also thought to peak between 4pm and 7pm, with temperature predicted to be between 27-32C. And with the staggering temperatures, it’s said the highest UV warning will be at 1pm, which is a level 7.

According to the BBC: “Friday should then be dry with sunshine throughout the day. Becoming very warm or hot.”

As well as the potential overheating, fans heading to Heaton Park have been issued a travel warning. Ticket platform Trainline saw a 20 per cent increase in passengers travelling to Manchester ahead of Oasis’ historic Heaton Park shows.

And they say this surge suggests thousands of music fans will travel from all around the country to see the home town reunion of the band after initial shows in Cardiff last weekend. Therefore, fans have been urged to “book as soon as possible to secure a seat” by Sarah Helppi, UK Country Director at Trainline.

Just like Cardiff, fans can warm up for the occasion with Richard Ashcroft. Confirmed stage times see the doors open at 3pm. Richard takes to the stage at 7pm to belt out some of his own classics.

Oasis will then be ready to entertain the crowd at 8.15pm.
