For the first time in over 16 years, Oasis are about to play a string of homecoming shows – check out the latest weather forecast ahead of all five nights below.
The reunion tour rolls into Heaton Park in the north of Manchester today (July 11), having kicked off last week with two triumphant shows in Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. The five-show residency will see them play to around 80,000 fans each night from tonight through to July 12, 16, 19 and 20.
The dates follow on from the Britpop giants kicking off their highly anticipated ‘Live ‘25’ tour in Cardiff last week (July 4 and 5) – breaking out some of the biggest hits from across their discography and bringing out both Cast and Richard Ashcroft as special guests.
Now, with doors only hours away from opening at 3pm for the first of the five shows, fans have been warned to prepare for the extreme heat, and are advised to stay hydrated and “look after each other”.
Hot conditions are expected throughout with highs nearing 30ºC, and it’s expected to stay that way throughout the performances from Cast, Richard Ashcroft and Oasis, with temperatures only declining by a few degrees around 9pm.
For Wednesday’s show (July 16), warm conditions will continue, although there may be some light rain throughout the day coupled with some light wind. When doors open, it will be around 22ºC, and this will remain roughly the same until curfew at 10:30pm.

The following Saturday (July 19) will see light winds throughout the day with sunny intervals, and temperatures will sit around 23ºC until roughly 7pm. From there, the rest of the evening will see cloudier conditions set in for the remainder of the night.
The final of the five Heaton Park shows (Sunday July 20) will see light clouds and a gentle breeze all day, with temperatures hovering around the 23ºC mark from midday up until 11pm.

The Manchester shows will follow a similar pattern to those in Cardiff last week. Doors open around 3pm, and the first performance will come from Cast at 6pm. Richard Ashcroft is expected to start his set at 7pm, and Oasis are predicted to play between 8:15pm and 10:30pm.
While the curfew for live music is at 10:30pm, it is likely that food and drinks vendors will continue to serve until 11pm, and guests will not be permitted to leave and re-enter the venue once they’re inside.
Earlier today, a giant drone display showing the Oasis logo appeared in the skies above Heaton Park, just as it had done in Cardiff last week.
As with the previous shows, the Manchester venue should continue to have food and drinks vendors serve until 11pm, and guests can arrive whenever, but will not be permitted to leave and re-enter once they’re inside. Cast will take the stage at 6pm, with Richard Ashcroft following at 7pm and Oasis kicking off at 8:15pm.
Those taking the tram to Heaton Park will likely hear Liam Gallagher’s voice announcing the stops on the Metrolink. “The next stop is….Heaton Parrrk,” he will say, before pausing and adding, “Off you go.”

After their five shows in Manchester, the Britpop icons will play seven nights at London’s Wembley Stadium, as well as make stops in both Edinburgh and Dublin. From there they will head to North America, South America, Australia, South Korea and Japan.
At the first of their 2025 live shows, NME gave the show in Cardiff a full five-star review and wrote: “After a ‘90s heyday and an often maligned post-millennium era, this is Oasis redesigned for the 21st Century.
“Playing before a pop-art-meets-psychedelia visual spectacular that never distracts but will look sick on a phone, they seem the quintessential stadium band playing the greatest hits of greatest hits.”
