Wonderwall! Steel fences erected at Heaton Park to stop ticketless Oasis fans watching tour
Manchester City Council has erected huge steel fences around an area of Manchester's Heaton Park to stop ticketless Oasis fans from watching the band's reunion tour, and the Council have urged those without tickets not to travel to the park for the group's three upcoming shows.
Huge steel fences have been erected around an area of Manchester's Heaton Park to stop ticketless Oasis fans from watching the band's reunion tour.
The Wonderwall hitmakers performed two homecoming shows at the venue on Friday (11.07.25) and Saturday (12.07.25) as part of their Oasis Live '25 Tour - which kicked off in Cardiff on July 4th - but hundreds of fans unsuccessfully tried to storm the fences to gain entry to the Britpop legends' gigs.
Now, Manchester City Council have urged ticketless Oasis fans not to travel to Heaton Park, after crowds previously gathered to get a glimpse of the big screens on an area that has been dubbed "Gallagher Hill".
The Council said: "With three concerts still to be played by Oasis in Manchester's Heaton Park following their two hugely successful concerts at the weekend, the city council is repeating its request for fans without tickets not to travel to the park.
"After taking stock of how the first two nights went, additional measures have now been deemed necessary and will be in place for the next three concerts, to protect the environment of the park, ensure areas of parkland and nearby livestock are protected, and maintain public safety.
"These include the erection of steel fencing around a large area of the hill within the cattle field in the main park - which is currently being developed as a new woodland area for the park and has been recently planted with around 300 young whips including Hornbeam, Field Maple, Aspen, Downy birch, Rowan, Common Alder, Crab apple and more - as well as measures to protect the livestock in the field, which include expectant and nursing cows and a bull.
"The erection of the fencing has a dual purpose - both to protect the environment from further damage and to dissuade people from gathering there. The necessary measure means the concert will no longer be visible from this area."
This comes following reports Oasis have been inundated with huge, "endless" offers to headline major music festivals.
An insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "If fans thought Oasis were busy, they should see the offers their teams are fielding behind the scenes.
"Festivals in the US like Coachella want Oasis to headline next year, as well as big ones in Europe including Benicassim.
"Then you have businesses and individuals who want them to perform. The offers are endless."
But Oasis - who reunited this year after brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher put their differences to one side - are said to be concentrating on their current Oasis Live '25 Tour for now.
Following a further three Manchester shows, Oasis will head to London, Edinburgh, and Dublin.
They will then jet off further afield to the US, Canada, and Mexico, where they may "tweak" their Oasis Live '25 setlist.
The source said: "Oasis won’t be changing the songs for their UK and Ireland legs but there may be some tweaks when they go overseas.
"It’s still up in the air but Noel and Liam want to make sure they’re giving all their fans the songs they want to hear - so there could be some tweaks made here and there."
