As we very well know by now, those pesky Gallagher brothers are officially back, with the Oasis reunion tour having kicking off in Cardiff on Friday 4th July. The Oasis boys have made their huge homecoming stint, with five gigs at Heaton Park in Manchester in total, and it’s fair to say town is already in full Oasis fever. With all of this going on, it’s difficult to keep up with everything that’s happening, so we’ve put together a handy guide of things to do in Manchester in the run up to and during the Oasis gigs, whether you’ll be jumping about in a park in Prestwich, or not.

The Champagne Supernova Bottomless highlights include:
- £35pp for 90 mins of bottomless drinks + pizza
- Champagne upgrade: +£25pp
