Homecoming vibe

The Gallagher brothers are known to put on an electric show whenever they play Manchester, and these gigs promise to beextra special. Expect a two-hour plus set packed with classic Oasis anthems. In Cardiff, Oasis opened with“Hello”and closed with“Champagne Supernova,”with basically every hit in between – so Manchester fans can dream of belting out everything from“Don’t Look Back in Anger”to“Wonderwall”under the summer sky.

The first Manchester night on11 Julywill likely be a goosebump moment: a hometown crowd welcoming Oasis back after a 16-year wait. Even Liam Gallagher himself has called the reunion“biblical”– and judging by the Cardiff shows, that’s no exaggeration.

Heaton Park Venue Map & Entry Points

The official site map for Oasis Live ’25 at Heaton Park outlines the stage layout, entrances, and facilities. The concert arena is divided intoFront Standing(closest to the stage) andGeneral Admissionareas, each with designated entry gates. Fansmust use the gate printed on their ticket– so double-check whether you are Front Standing or GA before you head out.

Heaton Park is a huge outdoor venue, and for these shows it’s beensplit into two sectionsfor crowd safety: aFront Standingsection right in front of the stage, and a largerGeneral Admissionsection behind it.Your ticket will specifywhich section you’re inandwhich gate you should use to enter.

Front Standing ticketshave been allocated via a ballot/opt-in system, so only those with confirmed Front Standing tickets can access that front area. General Admission tickets donotinclude front access.In other words: you can’t just rush the front – only fans who opted in and gotFront Standingwill be allowed in the forward section.This system was set up by the event’s Safety Advisory Group to ensure a smooth and safe entry for everyone.

Entrance Info for Heaton Park Oasis Shows

🎫General Admission (GA)

• Enter viaBury Old Road(Corner Gate to West Gate)
• Same side as the Heaton Park tram stop
• ❌ No entry from Sheepfoot Lane (east side)

🎫Front Standing

• UseSheepfoot Lane entrance(South/East Gates area)
• Closest entry to stage-front pens
• ❌ Avoid west side—too far to walk around

🚌Shuttle Buses & Coaches

• Drop-off atNorth Gate
• Staff will guide you to the correct section once inside

Once inside, you’ll find the stage at the north end of the event space, facing out over the crowd. The venue map (see above) also shows locations offood and drink stalls, merchandise booths, toilets, first aid,and other facilities. Notably, Front Standing fans get their own dedicated food, drink, and toilet areas within the front pen for convenience (separate from the GA amenities).

There is also anaccessible viewing platformfor disabled attendees, roughly behind the front standing area, to ensure good sightlines. Wherever you are, you can expect big screens and a massive sound system, so even if you’re in GA further back, you won’t miss any of the action.

Tip:Plan which entrance you need ahead of time. Manchester’s Heaton Park is very large, and the two sides (Bury Old Road west side vs. Sheepfoot Lane east side) are quite far apart. Going to the wrong gate will cost you a long walk around the park’s perimeter.
