Oasis Reunion Shows Draw Celebrities, Spark Security Concerns

Oasis returned to Manchester for their first hometown concerts since 2009, performing a series of sold-out reunion shows at Heaton Park that drew massive crowds, celebrities like Sir Bob Geldof, and football figures such as Pep Guardiola and Jack Grealish. Liam Gallagher dedicated a song to Guardiola, sparking mixed reactions from the audience due to Manchester's football rivalries. The Gallagher brothers’ children were seen backstage with Guardiola, and emotional moments included Guardiola singing with his daughter. Despite rumored tensions, Guardiola and Grealish both attended but did not interact. The concerts were marred by incidents involving ticketless fans attempting to storm the venue, leading to multiple arrests and heightened police security. The events have been celebrated for their nostalgic setlists and for showcasing Manchester’s vibrant music and sports culture.
