Manchester Council warns ticketless fans to avoid Heaton Park during Oasis concerts

Manchester City Council has issued a warning to ticketless fans of Oasis, urging them not to go to Heaton Park for the band's concerts. The area known as 'Gallagher Hill' has been fenced off to prevent gatherings and protect the environment, which includes recently planted trees and local livestock. Following two successful concerts, the council announced additional safety measures, including stronger fencing to deter fans and ensure safety around the concert site. The council emphasizes that only ticket holders will have access to the concert.

The decision to reinforce security around Heaton Park demonstrates the growing challenges of managing large crowds at popular events. While the joy of attending an Oasis concert brings out many fans, the council's measures highlight a critical balance between public safety and the preservation of the park's environment. Council member John Hacking's comments indicate a desire to foster a festive atmosphere in the city, suggesting that there are still celebrations for fans who cannot attend the concerts directly.
