A much-loved local space which is on the very doorstep of the Oasis reunion shows is launching a huge ticket giveaway.
Heaton Park Cafes, which operates the beautiful Lakeside Cafe, The Stables Cafe, and the boating lake at the park, have got a pair of Oasis tickets to give away to fans for free.
The lovely spot has announced the news this week with a pretty eye-catching stunt – popping Liam and Noel Gallagher onto a couple of swan pedalos.
Alright fine, it’s not actually Liam and Noel, rather a pair of very warm staff members in parkas and face masks, but it’s had a pretty eye-catching effect anyway.
The faux Gallagher brothers kept pretty tight-lipped on how to actually win tickets, but fret not, we’ve got all the info you need.

To give you a taste of the treats you could get at the cafe – stacked sandwiches like a classic BLT; hearty breakfasts including Full Englishes and loaded breakfast sandwiches; and a full menu of ‘ultimate’ toasties.
They also have a few Oasis-inspired summer specials, like a refreshing strawberry lemonade.
The Lakeside Cafe is popular for a post-Parkrun coffee and cake, a delicious milkshake in the sunshine, or a full lunch after a dog walk (there’s even a dog menu), with stunning views across the boating lake.
You have until 16 July to be entered into the prize draw for Oasis tickets – head to The Lakeside Cafe, The Stables Cafe, or the boating lake in Heaton Park to win.
Kings of Leon announce Manchester arena show on short run of UK dates
Daisy Jackson
Kings of Leon have just announced a short run of UK shows for next year, which includes an arena gig here in Manchester.
The multi-Grammy Award-winning rock band will be performing at the Co-op Live arena, along with two other British dates in Leeds and Glasgow.
Kings of Leon are one of the biggest alternative rock bands in the world, and never fail to sell out arenas in Manchester when they perform here.
The group of brothers (plus one cousin) have headlined some of the world’s most iconic festivals, including Glastonbury, Coachella, and Lollapalooza, as well as reclaiming an all-time attendance record with a fifth night at Hyde Park in London last year.
Kings of Leon have been dominating charts for more than 20 years, ever since the release of their debut album Youth & Young Manhood in 2003.
They now have nine studio albums, including last year’s Can We Please Have Fun, which (as with all their albums so far) comfortably reached the top 10 of the UK Albums Chart.
The band is made up of Caleb, Nathan, Jared and Matthew Followill, and just last week they dropped an EP with four new songs.
Now, it’s another brief run of live shows for the UK, with Kings of Leon performing at Co-op Live in Manchester on Saturday 4 July 2026.
Tickets for Kings of Leon in Manchester will go on sale from 9am on Friday 21 November, and you can get yours HERE.
