Oasis to play first gig in Manchester for nearly 16 years
Manchester prepares for first Oasis gig in nearly 16 years
- Oasis are set to play their first Manchester gig in nearly 16 years on Friday, as part of their highly anticipated world reunion tour.
- The band will perform five sold-out shows at Heaton Park, with the city embracing their return through initiatives like Liam Gallagher's voice on tram announcements.
- The reunion tour follows Noel Gallagher quitting the band in 2009 after a backstage altercation with his brother Liam.
- The tour has faced controversy over dynamic ticket pricing, with some standard tickets jumping from £148 to £355, prompting a government and watchdog review.
- After their Manchester dates, Oasis will continue their tour across the UK, Ireland, and then globally, with a movie produced by Steven Knight also being made in conjunction with the reunion.
