Tonight, Oasis mania hit Manchester as the band made a triumphant homecoming in front of 80,000 fans, the first of five Heaton Park shows which will see Oasis play to a combined audience of 400,000 people at this venue between now and next Sunday, July 20th.

 

Oasis walked on stage at 8:15pm at Manchester’s Heaton Park and were met with a hero’s welcome. Fans had traveled from as far as Japan, Costa Rica, North America, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Ireland, Italy and Australia to witness the opening show of Oasis’ five-night homecoming.

 

Stepping to the mic, Noel Gallagher announced, “This is the place” as Liam Gallagher confirmed, “Oasis vibes in the area. Manchester vibes in the area.” The crowd went wild.


When introducing “Half The World Away” Noel dedicated the song to co-creators of comedy classic The Royle Family“This next one’s for Caroline and Craig.”

 

Before performing “D’You Know What I Mean?” Liam said, “I’d like to dedicate this next song to the greatest manager of all time, Mr. Pep Guardiola.”

 

After Noel led Heaton Park in an all-in singalong of “Don’t Look Back In Anger,” Liam introduced “Wonderwall,” telling the crowd, “I adore you all. You’re beautiful!”

 

Tonight’s show took the Oasis Live ‘25 production to the next level, with the Heaton Park screens measuring 84 meters by 12 meters, a full 20 meters bigger than those fans were wowed by at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium last weekend. The screens are the largest ever used at a concert in the UK.

 

Beyond the Live ‘25 tour, Oasis fever continues to grip the nation as the band dominate the UK Official Charts with three albums in the Top 5. Singles compilation album Time Flies… 1994-2009 shot to #1 this week for the first time since its original release in 2010. Their classic second album, 1995’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? leaps 12 places to Number 2, while their iconic 1994 debut Definitely Maybe vaults 22 spots to Number 4.

 

Oasis also send three songs into the Top 20 of this week’s Official Singles Chart. Fan favourite “Acquiesce” – originally released as the B-side to the band’s first Number 1 single, 1995’s “Some Might Say” – climbs to a new peak at Number 17 this week. It made its Official Singles Chart debut at Number 40 last week. And returning to the Top 20 are the band’s 1996 chart-topper “Don’t Look Back in Anger” (18) and 1994 Top 10 hit “Live Forever” (19).

 

(What’s The Story) Morning Glory? has now been certified 18x Platinum by the BPI in recognition of more than 5.4 million domestic sales.

 

The Oasis Live ‘25 tour has received a rapturous response from fans and media alike. A newly released live version of “Slide Away” recorded at the opening night in Cardiff on July 4th, serves a thrilling taste of what fans can expect. Listen HERE.

 

(What’s The Story) Morning Glory? Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition will be released on October 3rd. The Complete Studio Album Collection box set will be released on August 22nd. Both releases are available to pre-order HERE.
