Overview

  • Manchester City Council erected large steel fencing around Gallagher Hill to block unauthorised spectators and protect newly planted woodland and livestock.
  • Heaton Park’s concert arena is secured by double-walled high-security fencing supported by over 2,000 security staff and police officers enforcing ticket-only access.
  • Greater Manchester Police have arrested several people for using fake accreditation and attempting to breach perimeter fences in failed access attempts.
  • A ballot-based front standing system divides attendees into two colour-coded pits with distinct wristbands and entry gates to manage proximity to the stage.
  • Oasis will complete three more sold-out shows on July 16, 19 and 20 before taking their Live ’25 tour to London, Edinburgh and Dublin.
