Police tell gig-goers to ‘remain vigilant’ as Oasis Live ’25 hits Manchester

GMP and partners have been planning the operation for the past six months.

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant - 11th July 2025

Anyone lucky enough to be heading to Heaton Park for the Oasis Live ’25 gigs this summer is being told to ‘remain vigilant’.

Manchester is all set for a sensational summer of sound, as more than 300,000 music fans prepare to descend on our city to see a little-known band called Oasis (sarcasm detected) reform for the first time in over a decade.

And today is finally the big day after what has been a very long-time coming.

With the Gallagher brothers staging five nostalgia-drenched gigs at Heaton Park starting today (11 July), Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has now issued some important advice and information for gig-goers attending what is likely going to be one of the best live shows of their life, and what is sure to be a momentous moment for the city.

GMP confirmed that it will be working with partners to ensure Oasis’ homecoming shows ‘pass by safely’ on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.

Planning has been underway within GMP over the past six months, alongside our partners at Manchester City Council, Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), North West Ambulance Service (NWAS), Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), and many more.

Police officers will be present around the Heaton Park site, working with event security staff to ‘prevent crime and disorder’, while off-site patrols will also assist with traffic management and policing in the surrounding areas and the city centre.

Efforts are also underway to ‘minimise disruption’ in Manchester city centre and the surrounding areas, GMP confirmed.

“Our priority is to ensure everyone’s safety,” explained Assistant Chief Constable, Matt Boyle.

“We have worked closely with event organisers and partners to make sure the event is safe and enjoyable for those attending, whilst minimising any crime or antisocial behaviour impacts on local residents.

“We will have a large and highly visible policing operation in place in Heaton Park, the city centre, and on routes into and out of the venue to help people enjoy the event. We also have neighbourhood police officers and staff in place who are dedicated to dealing with local residents’ concerns. 

“Our advice to fans attending is to enjoy yourselves but to remain vigilant, keep your belongings safe, and report anything suspicious to police or security staff so we can act on it.”

GMP’s advice follows of from Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) announcing its comprehensive transport ‘masterplan’ last week, and even more information being published earlier this week on all-important details such as expected stage times for the band and support acts, drinks prices, and hot weather warnings.

Charli XCX announces massive Manchester arena gig as part of long-awaited UK and European tour

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

Charli XCX has finally given UK fans the news they’ve been waiting for.

After the genre-bending popstar announced back in June a series of US gigs this autumn to support and celebrate the release of her eighth studio album Music, Fashion, Film – which was met with critical acclaim following its release in late July – fans in her home country were wondering when she would announce UK dates to accompany these.

The 34-year-old been had hinting at a UK and European leg of the Music, Fashion, Film Tour on social media over the past couple of months, but nothing was set in stone as of yet.

Then last night, Charli took to Twitter to announce that she ‘finally’ had some information coming today (11 September), and then followed it up with a teaser video – sending fans into a frenzy.

And now, it has been announced this morning that Charli XCX will be taking to the Co-op Live stage early next year.

Support on the UK and European leg of the Music, Fashion, Film Tour will come from US popstar Audrey Hobert.

Hobert has been having somewhat of a star-making year herself in 2026 following the release of her own critically acclaimed debut album, Who’s The Clown?, last year – with her streams racking up daily and drawing in massive crowds on the festival circuit this summer.

Charli XCX – Music, Fashion, Film Tour UK & EU Dates 2027

  • 13 February – 3Arena, Dublin
  • 15 February – OVO Hydro, Glasgow
  • 17 February – Co-op Live, Manchester
  • 19 February – The O2, London
  • 22 February – Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam
  • 24 February – Accor Arena, Paris

Upon release back in July, Music, Fashion, Film the album received acclaim from music critics, who praised its lyrical honesty and experimental production, as Charli took a sonic journey away from the undeniable mega hit that was her 2024 album BRAT, and into ‘Rock Music’ territory.

Music, Fashion, Film topped the charts in the UK and Australia, as well as in Belgium, Hungary, and New Zealand, while reaching the top 10 in countless other countries – including the US.

Charli XCX will be bringing the Music, Fashion, Film Tour to Manchester‘s Co-op Live on Wednesday 17 February 2027, and tickets will go on sale next week.

Presales, including Co-op Member Presale, begin on Wednesday 16 September at 9am, before general sale starts on Friday 18 September, again at 9am.

Oasis 2027 tour announcement is imminent, as drone show lights up Manchester

An Oasis tour announcement appears to be officially on the way, with a huge drone display lighting up the skies above Manchester.

The Manchester band sent up drones above their beloved Manchester City’s home ground, the Etihad Stadium, which just so happens to be the venue that rumours are tipping for their 2027 tour dates.

And after weeks of teasing and cryptic videos, hints on X, and leaked dates, we finally know when Oasis will be announcing their 2027 tour for real.

The drones above Manchester late last night spelled out ‘Oasis. 4pm BST. 14.09.26’.

The display took place around 11pm, just as thousands of music fans were leaving an Evanescence gig as the nearby Co-op Live.

Liam and Noel Gallagher finally put aside their differences back in 2024, announcing an Oasis reunion tour for the summer of 2025.

Oasis Live ’25 set the world alight, and included five massive nights at Heaton Park in their native Manchester.

And it’s looking like their 2027 tour will be even bigger, with rumours suggesting a whopping 12 night residency at the Etihad Stadium next summer.

They’re also tipped to play some huge dates at Knebworth, along with other cities across Europe.

If you believe the leaks, the dates for Oasis 2027 in Manchester will be June 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 13, 16, 19, 20, 23, 26 and 27.

Expect an almighty battle for tickets when they eventually go on sale, again rumoured to be taking place next week.

Oasis are likely to announce their 2027 tour dates – including a run of shows at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester – on Monday 14 September at 4pm.
