Important information about #OasisLive25 Heaton Park concerts: 11, 12, 16, 19, 20 July 2025

Manchester City Council own and manage Heaton Park and control the scheduling of all events within it.

As Bury Council has responsibility for the Prestwich area surrounding Heaton Park, we have a statutory obligation to work alongside Manchester City Council and emergency partners to ensure public safety.

Our enforcement officers will be present throughout each of the five Oasis concerts, working closely with Greater Manchester Police to monitor activity, report issues, and respond swiftly to any matters affecting residents.

Multi-agency planning meetings are held before, during and after the concerts to help reduce disruption. Plans are developed in partnership with Greater Manchester Police, North West Ambulance Service, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Transport for Greater Manchester, Manchester City Council and the event organisers.

The Community Impact Team manage and mitigate the impact of major events held at Manchester City Council’s Heaton Park. Queries or issues can be put to the team online, by phone, or at the Maccabi Centre.

• Contact the Community Impact Team online
• Phone 0161 883 1962 (staffed on event days 2pm to 12.30am. Leave a message and request a callback outside of these times)
• Visit Maccabi Centre, Bury Old Road M25 0EG (4pm to 9pm on event days)

These temporary restrictions are essential to enable a co-ordinated emergency response, manage large crowds safely, and minimise congestion that could otherwise hinder emergency services.

Key measures include full closures of critical roads during peak periods, permit-only access for residents between 9am and 1am and temporary one-way systems.

These temporary closures are to help people enter and leave Heaton Park safely, and to make it easier for crowds to depart swiftly after each event.

For the closures in the Bury borough, Bury Council has processed Road Closure Notices in accordance with the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Emergency services will be able to access all areas in the event of an emergency.

After 8pm, residents will be required to present a valid permit or proof of address and may only enter when it is deemed safe to do so.

Around 340,000 fans are expected to attend the concerts over the course of the five days. The city centre and area surrounding Heaton Park will be exceptionally busy, with more people travelling by road, tram and foot between the city centre and the park.

On the days of the concerts, road users are advised against making unnecessary journeys by car. If your journey is essential, you should plan in advance and consider re-timing or rerouting your journey if possible.

For those attending Oasis, tram and shuttle bus will be the best way to travel to and from the park.

Fans can purchase shuttle bus tickets in advance via the Bee Network app. Fans are advised to plan ahead, purchase any travel tickets in advance and make sure phones/devices are well charged.
