Oasis draws over 70000 fans to Heaton Park gig in Manchester

Over 70,000 fans gathered at Heaton Park in Manchester on July 19 for the Oasis penultimate show as part of their Live ‘25 tour. Close to 160,000 are anticipated for the final weekend. Fans enjoyed the nostalgia and the festive atmosphere, with local pubs and venues embracing the occasion. Despite a weather warning for thunderstorms, many revelers flocked to Gallagher Hill, a nearby area despite warnings to stay away due to safety concerns. In addition, Billie Eilish's concert in the city raised transport demand, particularly for trams, suggesting a busy night across Manchester.

Oasis's return to Manchester has clearly reignited enthusiasm among fans, showcasing the band's lasting impact in the music scene. However, the enthusiasm also raises questions about crowd control and safety, especially with the unexpected gathering at Gallagher Hill. As the final shows approach, logistical issues will likely become more critical, particularly with overlapping events like Billie Eilish's concert. This sends a clear message to local authorities about better planning for future events to ensure fan safety while preserving their exuberance.
