Oasis at Heaton Park 2009: The Last Manchester Shows of the Original Band
Oasis played Heaton Park in Manchester in June 2009, among the final shows of the original band before the split. What happened and how it compares to Live '27.
Oasis played Heaton Park in north Manchester across several nights in June 2009, a hometown highlight of the Dig Out Your Soul tour. With hindsight they carry extra weight: these were among the last Manchester shows of the original band, played only weeks before Noel Gallagher quit at Rock en Seine that August and Oasis came to an end.
For a band so defined by their city, a mass homecoming in a Manchester park was a fitting near-final chapter, drawing enormous local crowds for what no one yet knew were farewell shows at home. The park would become part of the reunion story too: Oasis returned to Heaton Park on Live ‘25 in 2025 before scaling up further for 2027.
That scaling-up is the headline of the reunion in Manchester: eleven nights at the Etihad Stadium in June 2027, the biggest stand of the whole tour. Read it all on the Oasis Manchester 2027 page.
