Drinks prices for Manchester Oasis gigs announced – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised

Maybe that'll stop people chucking them.

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 9th July 2025

The prices of drinks at Heaton Park for the five huge Manchester Oasis shows have been released.

With the Gallagher brothers reuniting on stage in their hometown for the first time last weekend (and then again, three more times, this week), it’s a huge moment for our city.

Those lucky enough to snag tickets have already forked out a small fortune to witness this moment in history (still scarred from the dynamic pricing debacle).

And most of us were probably bracing to spend another small fortune on beers at the Oasis Manchester gigs.

But you might be pleasantly surprised at the drinks prices up at Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25.

It’s now been confirmed that pints of lager and cider will be just £6.50.

Before you turn your nose up, remember that pints at our two arenas – the AO Arena and Co-op Live – are now sitting around the £9 mark.

So that’s £6.50 for a pint of either Brooklyn Pilsner or Brothers apple cider, or £5.50 for a non-alcoholic Brooklyn Special Effects.

As for the rest – half-bottles of wine (red, white or rose) are £16.50.

Spirits and mixers – be it vodka and Pepsi Max, vodka lemonade, gin and tonic, or whiskey and Pepsi Max – are £8.50, while vodka and Rockstar Energy is £10.50.

Heaton Park will also be the home of the ‘largest beer garden’ and the longest bars in the city for the Oasis reunion.

With a major heatwave predicted for the first shows, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated (on WATER, not beer, please).

Ticket-holders will be allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml in with you, but it must be collapsible plastic.

Solid plastic and metal containers will be rejected on safety grounds.

There’s a free water point on site where you can fill up your bottles again.

Oasis will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.

Cult favourite clothing Clints brand has dropped the lineup for the first-ever music festival

Danny Jones Danny Jones CLINTS streetwear festival Manchester info

Popular Manchester street and footwear brand, Clints Inc., has now revealed the lineup for its first-ever music and culture festival to mark five whole years in fashion – and it’s looking big.

The highly sought-after clothing and sneaker make started out from a bedroom in Moston and is now a premium label in British urban, skating, UK grime and hip-hop culture, having been worn by many famous names and welcoming even more through the door of their Deansgate shop.

Located in the ABC Buildings on Quay Street next to Spinningfields, the flagship Clints store opened back in 2022 and is much more than a place to buy some new drip: it’s a place that showcases art, music, and a whole sub-sect of shopping beyond just skate silhouettes and trendy trainers.

As hack as it might sound to some, wearing this brand comes along with immersing yourself in the wider style and scene; the very same scene being celebrated in tandem with their fifth birthday.

Up until recently, details were still scarce, but now the debut Clints Fest lineup has dropped, and there are some big names on board.

Set to take place at Barton Aerodrome, a.k.a. City Airport, over in Eccles, the live performers confirmed for 2025 span multiple genres, spotlighting both music veterans and up-and-coming artists from all over.

Legendary DJ, producer and MC Mike Skinner – most famously for his music with The Streets – tops the bill, alongside Tottenham-born rapper and grime artist, Chip (formerly known as ‘Chipmunk’).

There’s plenty of local love on show too, with Manc R’n’B, jazz and soul singer, Victoria Jane, also set to perform, among many other acts from around the region and beyond.

Other names include the equally soulful hip-hop and rap star, Kofi Stone, New Zealand actor and solo artist, Sammy V, as well as plenty more.

On the launch of the event, Founder Junior Clint said: “We’ve built Clints on the back of our supporters embracing the DIY spirit. This festival is the ultimate expression of that ethos. Housing both music legends with upcoming artists is our ambition with Clint Fest, and we can’t wait to deliver it.”

Clints Fest (the inaugural one, at that) will take place on Saturday, 6 September, over in the Salford suburb of Barton-upon-Irwell, kicking off from 12pm and wrapping up around 10:30pm. 

You can expect the festival to be packed to the rafters with die-hard followers of all things Clints and streetwear; here’s hoping this is just the first of many.

While the pre-sale and the first phase window for early access have both fully sold out, the second phase has now gone live, with general admission tickets available from £45.

Drake postpones massive Manchester gig set to take place at Co-op Live

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Drake has postponed one of his Manchester gigs

Drake has postponed one of his scheduled shows at the huge Co-op Live Arena in Manchester.

The rapper has already performed two nights at the venue and was set to return on Monday for a third concert.

But with just 24 hours to go, organisers have announced that the show has been postponed due to ‘unforeseen logistics’.

Ticket-holders were notified of the cancellation via email from Ticketmaster.

A statement said: “Due to unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics, tomorrow’s performance in Manchester on July 28th has been rescheduled.

“The good news is that Drake will now perform in Manchester on Tuesday, August 5th, and it’s set to be an unforgettable night.

“All tickets remain valid for the new date – we can’t wait to see you there!”

The Canadian hitmaker has just come off the back of three very impressive nights at one of the biggest music events of the year, Wireless Festival, and is now embarking on a tour of the UK and Europe.

Drake has solidified his position in the rap field, dropping bangers from 2006 and since then, he’s gone on to have some of the most streamed tracks of all time with ‘One Dance’ and ‘God’s Plan’.

The postponed Drake concert will take place at the Co-op Live in Manchester on Tuesday 5 August.
