Overview

  • The five-night homecoming run at Heaton Park wrapped on July 20 and Oasis will next take the Live ’25 Tour to five sold-out dates at London’s Wembley Stadium.
  • Manchester City Council’s mid-run installation of steel fencing around Gallagher Hill to protect young trees and livestock did not deter thousands of ticketless fans.
  • Liam and Noel Gallagher streamed live footage from Gallagher Hill onto the main stage screens, dedicated songs to those on the hill and funded 1,000 limited-edition free T-shirts.
  • Greater Manchester Police recorded 52 arrests over the concerts but reported no major incidents, and locals praised a clean-up team that cleared Gallagher Hill within hours of the final show.
  • Council projections of £375,000 in event revenues have drawn criticism after just £25,000 was earmarked for community groups, fueling ongoing debate among councillors and residents.
