Oasis’ 2025 summer reunion tour is, for many Brits, the year’s most hotly anticipated event – and it’s already underway. The Gallagher brothers got back together last Friday and Saturday for their first reunion shows in Cardiff and delivered two spectacular shows that were worth every bit of the hype, with top-notch performances and setlists packed with hits not heard for decades. Over 900,000 tickets have been sold for the brothers’ UK shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh, where they’ll play some of the country’s grandest, most legendary arenas.
Nowhere, however, is the Oasis hype quite like it is in Manchester. The Gallaghers’ shows at Heaton Park aren’t just more tour stops: these are homecoming dates at a venue that has a special place in the band’s history. Oasis played three nights at Heaton Park back in 2009 and this time they’ve upped the ante, lining up five dates.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Oasis’ 2025 Heaton Park shows are expected to be full-blown cultural events. If you’re lucky enough to have nabbed a ticket, here’s everything you need to know about the shows – from timings and transport to any remaining ticket availability.

Can you still get tickets?
All of Oasis’ Manchester dates sold out in minutes, but in the months since tickets went on sale a few have popped up on resale. On Ticketmaster here all Heaton Park shows are marked as having ‘low availability’, though none actually have any tickets available. Keep an eye out, just in case any pop up.
Sites like Stubhub also have tickets available, though, as always, exercise caution when buying anything on resale sites.
What’s Heaton Park’s bag policy?
The venue only allows ticketholders to bring one bag each, and it must be both smaller than A4 size and not a backpack.
Banned items
These items will all be banned from Heaton Park for the Oasis gigs.
- Bags bigger than A4 size

How to get to Heaton Park
Getting to Heaton Park from Manchester city centre is easy enough, with the Green line running directly to the venue from Victoria. Buses x35, 59, 90, 135, 149, 156, 164 and 484 also serve the park.
It’s worth bearing in mind that it is notoriously tricky to get away from Heaton Park, post-gig. The walk to the city centre is long (up to two hours, depending on the crowds), and buses, trams and taxis will be very crowded.
Weather forecast
The Gallagher brothers’ reunion gigs in Manchester are taking place over nine days, so naturally there’ll be wide variation in the weather. The opening weekend, however, is looking excellent.
For the first two gigs (July 11-12), here’s the forecast:
Friday July 11 – the weather this Friday is looking fantastic. With highs of 27C and lows of 22C, the Met Office doesn’t reckon Oasis’ first Manchester show will get any rain.
Saturday July 12 – Saturday is forecasted to be even balmier than Friday, with the Met Office predicting that temperatures will range from 24C to 27C. There also won’t be much wind or rain.
Where to buy official Oasis merchandise
The band has a pop-up with official merch at The Avenue, Spinningfields, which is open daily from 10am to 7.30pm. The store will remain open until July 27.
There are other Oasis merch options from the likes of Adidas, Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, Levi’s, Urban Outfitters and H&M.
There’s also an online shop for Oasis merch here.
