Oasis live at Manchester’s Heaton Park: check out the weather forecast
Oasis are about to play their first homecoming shows in over 16 years later this week. Check out the latest weather forecast for all five shows below.
The upcoming gigs will see Liam and Noel Gallagher head to Manchester for five huge shows at Heaton Park, taking place on July 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20. At each, they are set to play to around 80,000 people each night.
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 two days to go until doors open for the first of the five shows, it looks like warm temperatures are expected for the homecoming dates.
For both Friday and Saturday shows (July 11 and 12), predominantly sunny conditions are expected throughout. When doors open around 3pm, both will have warm and dry weather, with temperatures sitting around 30ºC. It will stay like this throughout the performances from Cast, Richard Ashcroft and Oasis, and temperatures will only decline by a few degrees around 10pm.
For Wednesday’s show (July 16), warm conditions will continue, although there will likely be some light rain throughout the day. 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 thundery showers and light winds throughout the day, and temperatures will sit around 23ºC until roughly 7pm. From there, the rest of the evening will see the rain clear up and cloudy conditions take over for the remainder of the night.
Finally, 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.

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.”
