It’s not lost on us that Manchester is set to proudly welcome the Gallagher brothers home to Heaton Park on Friday 11, Saturday 12, Wednesday 16, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 July, as Oasis perform to over 300,000 fans in their first live appearances since they split in 2009. It’s bound to be buzzing with energy, nostalgia, and some incredible live music, and the Manchester Metrolink is now confirmed to be running a late-night tram service for those needing to get around after the Oasis concerts.
Whether you’re planning to attend or just following the event, it’s definitely a historic moment for Manchester and Oasis fans worldwide. Here are the public transport/Metrolink highlights to know before setting off.
How often will the trams be from Manchester to Heaton Park for Oasis?
On each night, there will be a six-minute service from Victoria Station to Bury. Victoria Station is the only city centre station with a direct tram to Heaton Park.
Where can I get the tram back to Manchester after the Oasis gigs?
Heaton Park stop will be closed at 9pm on all nights, with Bowker Vale the main stop for post event travel to the city centre and to Bury.
Both stops are just a few minutes away from the park gates, and there will be staff and signs to help you on your way.
What time will the last Manchester trams be?
- Friday 11 July – 02:02am towards city centre/01:16am towards Bury
- Saturday 12 July – 02:02am towards city centre/01:16am towards Bury
- Wednesday 16 July – 01:32am towards city centre/00:46am towards Bury
- Saturday 19 July – 02:02am towards city centre/01:16am towards Bury
- Sunday 20 July – 01:30am towards city centre/00:44am towards Bury
Is there any engineering work on the tramlines in Manchester?
There is planned engineering at Piccadilly, which means there will be no trams operating from Piccadilly Station to city centre stops.

There are other events taking place across Greater Manchester, including Kool & The Gang and Paw Patrol at AO Arena, Rizzle Kicks and Basement Jaxx at Castlefield Bowl and Billie Eilish at Co-op Live. With that in mind, allow plenty of time for your journey as public transport and roads will be busier.
All that’s left to do is get there safely, and have the best time at Oasis! We’re not jealous at all…
