Oasis gig thrown into chaos after ticketless fans storm Heaton Park fences as band takes to stage

Ticketless Oasis fans jumped over the fences at Heaton Park when the Gallagher brothers took to the stage.

Liam and Noel reunited in their home city for the second time on Saturday (12 July) as a stream of Oasis supporters tried to access the venue without a ticket.

A video shared by the Manchester Evening News (MEN) shows a stream of fans running over a metal fence panel and attempting to head to the main crowd area.

In another clip seen by the outlet, hundreds of fans realise that there is another, much taller fence as police intervene.

The Greater Manchester Police later confirmed that no one was able to get into the concert area without a ticket, thanks to security intervention and tall fencing.

It comes after reports of around 50 fans attempting to jump fences at the park on Friday (July 11).

Across both days, a total of 15 people have been arrested. On Saturday, police said 'five men and a woman in three separate incidents were arrested on suspicion of fraud after attempting to access the venue with fake accreditation'.

"A further arrest was made of a man on suspicion of assaulting a member of security staff," police added.

"Two more men were arrested on suspicion of assault, one for section 18 inside the venue and one for section 47 outside."

Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle said: “A number of people without tickets attempted to gain entry through a perimeter gate on Saturday night but failed to do so.

“We continue to support the event organisers and the local authority with their plans preventing any unauthorised access to the arena site.

“While arrests have thankfully been minimal, we have had to take some suspects to custody, including one after an alleged assault on a steward on Saturday night. We will not tolerate any abuse of anyone doing their job.

“On Friday night we also dealt with a number of breaches of airspace restrictions involving drones where our officers seized five drones and spoke to two other pilots.

“We continue to have airspace restrictions in place on the nights of the concerts and anyone found breaching the one-and-a-half-mile restriction zone could face prosecution.”

He added that the force is still 'working with partners and the organisers to make sure everyone can enjoy the concerts safely'.

“What has been especially pleasing is how more than 100,000 people have enjoyed these iconic events safely and without trouble,” the Assistant Chief Constable said.

The next three Manchester concerts will take place on Wednesday (16 July), Saturday (19 July) and Sunday (20 July).
