Manchester Gives Hometown Heroes Oasis Rapturous Reception

GREATER MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, JUL 11 – The reunion tour marks Oasis's first hometown shows in 16 years with five sold-out concerts amid city warnings of potential disruption, following a 2009 band split.

  • Oasis performed their first hometown concert in Manchester at Heaton Park on July 12, 2025, marking their return after nearly 16 years.
  • The reunion followed a highly anticipated Live '25 tour announced last August after Noel Gallagher's 2009 departure and subsequent band lineup changes.
  • About 80,000 fans, including international visitors from Australia and Germany, gathered at the sold-out event where crowds sang along and the atmosphere was electric.
  • Noel encouraged the audience to watch out for each other, yelling, “Make sure no one gets hurt before they’ve had a chance to grab a f***ing T-shirt,” while the concert itself passed largely without incident.
  • The concert reaffirmed Oasis as one of Manchester's top cultural exports and set the stage for four more sold-out shows at Heaton Park during their UK and Ireland tour.
