Oasis at Manchester Heaton Park – full list of banned items and rules for Manchester shows
Oasis play Heaton Park five times this July with a number of rules and restrictions for the Manchester venue
It’s official, Oasis is finally back. After 16 years away, numerous online feuds and fans desperate pleas, on Friday night (July 4), the band began their world tour at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
On Saturday night too, Liam and Noel Gallagher reunited on stage for epic performances of some of their biggest hits. Starting things off with Hello and Acquiesce, their two-and-a-quarter-hour set also featured Cigarettes & Alcohol, Fade Away, Supersonic and Slide Away.
As well as an encore of The Masterplan, Don’t Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova, poignant moments at the shows included a tribute to Liverpool footballer Jota, whose number 20 shirt flashed on screen during Live Forever.
And when Noel launched into Don’t Look Back in Anger the video screens lit up with black and yellow bees – a nod to the song’s significance in the week of the Manchester Arena terrorist attack of 2017.
