MANCHESTER, UK, JUL 15 – More than 100,000 fans attended the first two Oasis concerts safely, but new fencing was installed to protect parkland and livestock from ticketless attendees, council said.
- On July 16, 2025, Greater Manchester Police made 12 arrests during Oasis’s third homecoming show at Heaton Park amid large crowds and heightened security.
- Following crowds of ticketless fans scaling fences to watch from ‘Gallagher Hill,’ Manchester City Council erected steel fencing to protect the park and prevent unauthorized access.
- More than 2,000 security staff and police maintain a strong presence to ensure only ticket holders enter while protecting recent tree planting and livestock in the park.
- Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle noted that most attendees acted sensibly and responsibly, while Councillor John Hacking explained that the council was compelled to implement extra precautions.
- With two concerts remaining on July 19 and 20, the measures suggest continued emphasis on safety and environmental protection alongside a citywide celebration atmosphere.
