Oasis fans in Manchester are up in arms after Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds revealed plans for a major London performance—completely overlooking Heaton Park, the iconic venue where the band played their legendary 2009 reunion gig.
The announcement has left many Mancunians feeling betrayed, with social media erupting in frustration. "How could he skip Manchester?" one fan tweeted, while another demanded: "Bring it back to Heaton Park!"
A Hometown Snub?
Noel Gallagher's decision to headline London's Wembley Stadium instead of returning to Manchester's beloved Heaton Park has struck a nerve. The park holds special significance for Oasis fans—it was the site of their record-breaking 2009 shows, which drew nearly a quarter of a million people.
Fan Backlash Goes Viral
Disappointed supporters have flooded Twitter (now X) with complaints, accusing Gallagher of turning his back on his roots. "Noel’s forgotten where he came from," wrote one devotee, while others joked about "selling their parkas in protest."
Meanwhile, London-based fans are celebrating the news, with tickets for the Wembley show expected to sell out rapidly. But for Manchester’s loyal Oasis faithful, this feels like another chapter in the Gallagher brothers' complicated relationship with their hometown.
