Oasis fans issued major safety warning ahead of Manchester gigs - 'Look after yourself'

Oasis fans have been senta warning from Heaton Park bosses ahead of the band's mega homecoming shows this weekend. Liam and Noel Gallagher are returning to their beloved Manchester for five huge performances over the next fortnight.

They will play to around 80,000 fans every night at the sold-out gigs following their epic reunion in Cardiff last weekend. Manchester is already abuzz with Oasis fever as merchandise stands have popped up in the city. The band, which includes Bonehead, Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Joey Waronker, took to the stage for the first time in 16 years last weekend, launching their tour in Cardiff. The Britpop icons played two sold-out gigs at Cardiff's Principality Stadium to rapturous applause.

However, for those heading to the Manchester shows they have been issued a strong warning that wasn't given to the Cardiff fans. The UK is bracing itself for a heatwave, and bosses are urging fans to be safe.

Heaton Park bosses have urged: "With a very hot weather forecast on both Friday and Saturday please stay hydrated, you will be permitted to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml. This must be collapsible plastic.

"Solid plastic, metal etc containers will not be permitted on the grounds of safety. Bottles with broken seals will be emptied. There is free water to refill your bottle on site."

They added: "Wear sunscreen, you will be permitted to bring in a small bottle 200ml or under and protect yourself from the sun overall/wear a hat; we know the legendary bucket hat will be making an appearance, so you’ll fit right in! Look after yourself and those around you."

Fans will be able to enter the park from 3pm, and will be pleased to know drink prices are cheaper than the Cardiff shows. In the Welsh capital, fans were forking out £8.20 a pint while Mancunians can expect to pay £6.50 instead.

Oasis' support acts Cast will take to the stage at 6pm while Richard Ashcroft will perform at 7pm. The Gallagher brothers will step out together at 8:15pm and the curfew is 10:30pm.

In addition to their Manchester dates - on 11th, 12th, 16th, 19th, and 20th July - the Gallagher brothers and their band will also perform a series of gigs in London, Edinburgh and Dublin before jetting off to play shows across North and South America, Asia and Australia.

Manchester is certainly Oasis ready as the city prepares to welcome 1.3million music tourists this summer. It has already been adorned with hundreds of signs, murals paying homage to the band, and the launch of MCR Live '25, featuring music-themed markets, pop-up shops, a festival bar and spontaneous performances.

A plethora of guitar-themed artworks and exhibitions have also taken over the city's streets, squares, shop windows and other venues. Manchester's Central Library is hostinga week-long series of Oasis-themed activities.
