Oasis Live 25 issues safety and travel advice ahead of Heaton Park shows

Heat safety, travel, and performance timings confirmed

With Oasis set to take the stage in their hometown this weekend for two huge shows at Heaton Park, organisers have shared updated safety advice and key event timings for Friday 11 and Saturday 12 July 2025.

The Met Office has issued an extreme heat warning for Greater Manchester, and concertgoers are urged to take precautions. A sealed, collapsible plastic water bottle up to 500ml is permitted onsite, with refill points available throughout the park. Solid plastic, metal containers or similar will not be permitted. Attendees may also bring sunscreen in containers of 200ml or less. Organisers recommend wearing hats, with the iconic bucket hat expected to be a crowd favourite.

Travel advice and gate times

Heaton Park will open from 3pm on both days, with high footfall expected and no parking available at or near the site.

Shuttle buses from Lever Street (Northern Quarter) to Heaton Park begin at 1.30pm and are nearly sold out. On-the-day tickets may be available at the departure point if not sold out in advance.
Direct coaches from cities across the UK are still available via Big Green Coach.
Trams will run regularly from Victoria Station, with a signed walking route also available from Exchange Square.

Organiser statement

Speaking ahead of the shows, Rob Ballantine of SJM Concerts said, “The City of Manchester is about to undergo the biggest, most prestigious live music events in a lifetime! Arguably the most culturally important UK music artist since the Beatles, we have waited a long time for this moment with Oasis live on stage. There is a huge team of professionals who have been working hard to put this event together for you, so now it’s up to you to have the time of your life. Please prepare thoroughly. How are you getting to and from the site? From City Centre we advise you book the Shuttle Bus from the Northern Quarter direct to the site. From further afield there are bespoke coaches from Big Green direct to and from site and trams will be running. There is also a very well signposted walking route from Victoria Station to Heaton Park which will take around an hour. There is no car parking in the vicinity.

“The Met Office is issuing warnings for extreme heat so wear a hat, sunscreen and stay hydrated. We will be open all afternoon so make your journey as early in the day as your plans will allow and then relax in the beer garden we have created for you in Heaton Park. Look after yourself, look after your friends and behave responsibly. That should ensure you enjoy one of the greatest nights of your life!”
