Watch Oasis’ huge logo drone display above Manchester’s Heaton Park ahead of first homecoming show

Oasis performing live in Cardiff

A giant drone display displaying the Oasis logo has risen in Manchester, ahead of the first of the band’s five homecoming shows.

The Oasis Live ‘25 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.

Ahead of the Cardiff shows, the drone display was seen for the first time, and now, local residents have noticed the lights of the drones forming the Britpop band’s classic logo. Check out the images below.

80,000 fans are expected at each of the Heaton Park shows, and it has been confirmed that the area will be open from 3pm on each day, with a curfew of 10:30pm. Check out a map of the venue here.

As in Cardiff, 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.

Weather conditions are expected to be clear and sunny, with temperatures reaching 30ºC – see the full forecast here.

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 stops in both Edinburgh and Dublin. Later on the Oasis Live ’25 trek, they’ll head to North AmericaSouth AmericaAustraliaSouth Korea and Japan.

At the first of the 41 comeback shows, NME gave the historic night the full five stars. “After a ‘90s heyday and an often maligned post-millennium era, this is Oasis redesigned for the 21st Century,” the review read.

“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.”
