Oasis Live ’25: Fans from far and wide queue overnight at Heaton Park as organisers issue warnings
Anticipation is building in Manchester ahead of the first homecoming Oasis gig tonight, with health warnings issued due to hot weather.
The Oasis Live ‘25 reunion tour kicked off with two triumphant shows at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium last weekend. Tonight (July 11), it rolls into Heaton Park in north Manchester for the first of five huge outdoor shows, and the first Oasis show in their hometown since 2009.
Fans have been queuing at the gates of the park before 7am, with some of the earliest arrivals having flown in from Australia and South Korea just to be present for the historic show.
Almost 80,000 fans are expected at each of the Heaton Park shows, and the area will be open from 3pm, with a curfew of 10:30pm. Check out a map of the venue here.

Those attending have been instructed to take special care due to the high temperatures in Manchester today. In an Instagram post shared by the band, fans are urged to “prepare for extreme sun and heat” by wearing sun screen and staying hydrated.
“Wear a (bucket) hat,” the advice continues. “Where possible stay in shade. Look after yourself and look after each other.”
With the second Heaton Park show scheduled for tomorrow (July 12), both days are forecast to reach 29 degrees Celsius – see the full forecast here.

Those heading to the Oasis Heaton Park shows can get to the venue via Victoria Station, which takes you to Heaton Park stop or Bowker Vale, both of which are close to the general admission and standing gates @CityLifeManc @MENnewsdesk #Oasis25 #Oasis25 pic.twitter.com/BBhHS9RZYl

Earlier today, a giant drone display showing the Oasis logo appeared in the skies above Heaton Park, just as it had done in Cardiff last week.
As with the previous shows, the Manchester venue should continue to have food and drinks vendors serve until 11pm, and guests can arrive whenever, but will not be permitted to leave and re-enter once they’re inside. Cast will take the stage at 6pm, with Richard Ashcroft following at 7pm and Oasis kicking off at 8:15pm.
Those taking the tram to Heaton Park will likely hear Liam Gallagher’s voice announcing the stops on the Metrolink. “The next stop is….Heaton Parrrk,” he will say, before pausing and adding, “Off you go.”
After their five shows in Manchester, the Britpop icons will play seven nights at London’s Wembley Stadium, as well as stops in both Edinburgh and Dublin. Later on the Oasis Live ’25 trek, they’ll head to North America, South America, Australia, South Korea and Japan.
At the first of the 41 comeback shows, NME gave the historic night the full five stars. “After a ‘90s heyday and an often maligned post-millennium era, this is Oasis redesigned for the 21st Century,” the review read.
“Playing before a pop-art-meets-psychedelia visual spectacular that never distracts but will look sick on a phone, they seem the quintessential stadium band playing the greatest hits of greatest hits.”
