Global Fans Flock to Heaton Park

The 2025 ‘Oasis Live ’25’ tour kicked off with stadium shows in Cardiff, but Heaton Park was the first outdoor venue to feature the dazzling fireworks. Fans traveled from all over the world, camping overnight to secure prime spots.

Many without tickets still joined the festivities from surrounding streets, singing and dancing along, while some even attempted to sneak into the park. Greater Manchester Police intervened, making six arrests and turning others away to keep the event safe.

A Special Tribute to Pep Guardiola

In a quirky touch, a cardboard cutout of Manchester City’s manager Pep Guardiola stood behind Noel throughout the gig. The real Pep was also in attendance, receiving a heartfelt shoutout from Liam Gallagher: “I’d like to dedicate this next song to the greatest fucking manager of all time, Mr. Pep Guardiola,” before launching into ‘D’You Know What I Mean?’.

Upcoming Dates and Global Tour Plans

After the Manchester shows, Oasis will light up London’s Wembley Stadium for seven nights, then head to Edinburgh and Dublin.

Their globe-trotting 2025 reunion tour doesn’t stop there — North America, South America, Australia, South Korea, and Japan are all on the itinerary, thrilling fans worldwide.
