No great surprise here. Contains affiliate links

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 29th August 2024

Oasis have added brand new dates to their 2025 reunion tour due to ‘unprecedented demand’.

The group announced their shock comeback earlier this week with 14 shows across the UK and Ireland.

Those included four nights on home turf at Heaton Park as well as gigs at Wembley Stadium and Murrayfield Stadium. As Liam Gallagher would say – biblical.

Oasis have now announced that they’re adding three more dates to their run of shows.

Registrations for pre-sale tickets ended last night, and it looks like the demand has been high.

Given that fans have waited 15 long years to see Liam and Noel Gallagher put aside their differences and get back on the road, this is no great surprise.

They wrote today: “Due to unprecedented demand, three new UK dates will be added to Oasis Live ‘25.”

The huge Oasis tour will now include five nights at Heaton Park, with the group adding a show on 16 July to their tour dates.

Another night at Wembley Stadium on 30 July, and one in Edinburgh on 12 August, have also been announced today.

Yesterday, Oasis also dropped a hint that a world tour might be on the way…

Greater Manchester public urged to help get people ‘off the streets and on their feet’ before Christmas

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

Locals are being urged to help get hundreds of people “off the streets and back on their feet” this festive season.

As the temperatures told colder by the day, and Christmas creeps closer and closer, Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity is bringing back ‘1000 Beds for Christmas’, and the massively-important initiative is aiming to provide 1,000 nights of accommodation to people at risk of homelessness before the big day arrives.

Forming part of the ongoing ‘A Bed Every Night’ scheme, this festive fundraising mission is designed to provide food, shelter, warmth, and dedicated vital wrap-around support for those who need it most.

The charity says it wants to build on the “incredible success of 2023”, which raised more than £55,000 and provided 1,800 nights of accommodation.

Stockport-based property finance specialists, Together – which has supported the campaign for the last two years – has, once again, generously pledged to match every public donation for the first £20,000 raised.  

Unfamiliar with the ‘A Bed Every Night’ scheme? Since 2017, when rough sleeping peaked, the initiative has helped ensure a significantly-higher rate of reduction in the numbers of people facing a night on streets in Greater Manchester than seen nationally.

The landmark scheme has given people the chance to rebuild their lives, while also giving them access to key services and opportunities that allows them to stay off the streets for good.

Despite the scheme’s recent success, organisations across Greater Manchester are under “a huge amount of pressure” to meet the demand for their services this winter, and given the current economic outlook, household budgets will continue to be squeezed – leaving people on the sharp end of inequality and poverty.
