Oasis on stage at their homecoming gig at Heaton Park. About 80,000 fans have turned out for the first of five gigs there. Support acts Cast and Richard Ashcroft have warmed up the crowds, ready for Oasis to begin their show at about 20:15 GMT.

Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher will take to the stage in Manchester again on tonight for their second Heaton Park performance on the current Oasis Live '25 Tour

As Liam, 52, and Noel Gallagher, 58, performed to 80,000 concert-goers in their hometown on Friday night, many more made the musical pilgrimage to experience the gig live and curb the eyewatering prices (ranging up to £350 on the day for last-minute tickets ).

The Manchester Evening News has contacted organisers SJM Concerts for comment. An Oasis fan who shelled out more than £900 for a VIP Heaton Park gig package has told how he and his wife 'only just made it in' to see the band after wristbands ran out.

Oasis returned to their home city on Friday night (July 11) as part of their long-awaited reunion tour. Even fans without a ticket had gathered outside Heaton Park in the scorching heat to listen to one of the year's biggest gigs. At a quarter past eight, the Burnage brothers emerged triumphantly hand in hand, and the crowd went wild.

Oasis fans heading to Heaton Park today have been told to expect long queues for the tram and avoid travelling at peak times. It comes after some fans were advised to walk or get a taxi from Victoria Station to Heaton Park on Friday afternoon ahead of the first gig.

Stop sulking,” barks Liam Gallagher to the 80,000 or so sun-crisped devotees in Heaton Park as they turn their backs on Oasis.
