Oasis have finally returned to their hometown to perform together for the first time since 2009 as Liam and Noel Gallagher walked out hand in hand once again for their reunion shows

Thousands of Oasis fans are descending upon Heaton Park today for the band’s second gig in Manchester. Oasis will take to the stage this evening (July 12) as part of their Live ‘25 tour which began last week in Cardiff.

Nowhere, however, is the Oasis hype quite like it is in Manchester. The Gallaghers’ shows at Heaton Park aren’t just more tour stops: these are homecoming dates at a venue that has a special place in the band’s history. Oasis played three nights at Heaton Park back in 2009 and this time they’ve upped the ante, lining up five dates.
