Oasis reunion at Manchester’s Heaton Park: bag policy and full list of banned items

Oasis’s residency at Manchester’s Heaton Park is coming to a close. The second stop of Liam and Noel Gallagher’s hotly anticipated reunion tour has already seen them play three triumphant shows – and the final two are up this weekend. 

The brothers have been playing wall-to-wall Oasis classics (plus some proper deep cuts) at Heaton Park. If you’re lucky enough to have nabbed tickets for the final Saturday or Sunday, there are some logistics you’ll need to sort out. After all the effort you put in scrambling for tickets last summer, the last thing you want is to get there late, be turned away or put up with long queues because you’ve accidentally brought a banned item. Don’t want to be looking back in anger, eh?

So, to minimise any fuss when you get to Heaton Park, here’s all the info you need when it comes to what you can and can’t take into the event.
