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.

Oasis have taken over Heaton Park for the first of five huge homecoming shows in Manchester. The Live ‘25 tour, which kicked off in Cardiff last weekend, marks the very first time that Liam and Noel Gallagher have reunited on stage in close to 16 years after splitting in 2009.

Greater Manchester Police said the first of the Oasis homecoming gigs at Heaton Park has passed "without incident" - but there were a number of arrests and drone incidents
