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.

The band take their long-awaited reunion tour home for their first Manchester gigs in 16 years.

Oasis fans have been issued with a safety notice ahead of the rock band’s homecoming shows in Manchester this weekend. The Britpop legends’ hugely anticipated reunion tour is currently underway, having launched to near-unanimous praise and a rapturous reception from fans in Cardiff last week.
