Oasis’ reunion residency in Manchester is officially underway. The Gallagher brothers landed at Heaton Park for their opening two shows in Manchester last weekend (July 11 and 12) and put on a hell of a show, with Noel confirming ‘this is the place’ and Liam saying: ‘Oasis vibes in the area. Manchester vibes in the area’. The run continued on Wednesday (July 16), and it was just as epic – all that’s left are the band’s final two Manchester shows.
Oasis’ 2025 summer reunion tour is, for many Brits, the year’s most hotly anticipated event – and it’s already delivering on the hype. The reunion shows so far have delivered spectacular nights with top-notch performances and setlists packed with hits not heard by the band 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 else, however, is the Oasis hype quite like it has been 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. A total of 400,000 people will see Oasis in Manchester, with Heaton’s capacity boosted to 80,000 each night.

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 crowds), and buses, trams and taxis will be very busy. Expect to wait.

Saturday July 19 – the Met Office has a moderate thunderstorm warning in place for Saturday, though this is largely for the daytime. By the evening the weather will likely still be a bit rainy and cloudy, though with less thunder/lightning. Temperatures will range from 17C to 19C.
Sunday July 20 – Sunday is looking less stormy but still a little rainy. Temps will be in the 17C-20C range, and it looks like there’s less chance of rainy as the night goes on.

Reviews so far
As with the first Oasis reunion shows in Cardiff, reviews of the band’s Manchester gigs have been resoundingly positive. In a five-star review the Telegraph’s Poppie Platt described the event as a ‘perfect, priceless homecoming’ and ‘the real one fans had been waiting for’.
Another five-star review from the Manchester Evening News said the gig was ‘a homecoming of epic proportions’, writing: ‘Is there anything more Mancunian than wrapping your arm around the stranger next to you, chucking your pint as far as the eye can see, and belting out the words to The Masterplan, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall?’
