Oasis fans livid as Heaton Park's Gallagher Hill shut down by 'kill joys'

Oasis fans without tickets to the extremely hard to get Heaton Park shows have been left fuming. Police and organisers have appeared to put an end to the 'free concerts' outside the venue.

80,000 lucky fans have been able to head to Manchester to watch Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite on home turf. Those unlucky to bag the hot tickets managed to still catch a glimpse of the action from a nearby hill.

Fans flocked to 'Oasis Hill', also dubbed 'Gallagher Hill', to watch and listen to the iconic band perform. However, a large fence has now appeared blocking the view.

One fan who passed by the site ahead of Wednesday's performance spotted a large green fence that now blocks the gap where the stage could be seen. They declared: "Gallagher Hill is no more!!!"

Fans shared in the devastation as one said: "tell them to take it down plzzzz it’s only locals." Another added: "Won’t let anyone have any joy!" Someone else commented: "Hahaha a fence like this won't stop people from going on the hill!"

Police have already been cracking down on ticketless fans in the area as some eventried to hop the fence in order to see the Gallagher brothers.

Greater Manchester Police reportedsix people had been arrested for trying to get into the shows with "fake accreditation", while others had been caught trying to force their way through a perimeter fence. Oasis are set to play another three shows at Heaton Park on 16, 19 and 20 July.

Images taken at the scene showed one man in handcuffs as a member ofGreater Manchester Police escorted him away, while another was carrying a ladder.

Another image showed a line of police officers standing outside several entrances along the perimeter to stop people attempting to gain access for free.

However, those watching from a distance on Gallagher Hill appeared to be having the time of their lives as they watched the massive screen below.

It even caught the attention of Oasis guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, who is credited with reuniting Liam and Noel. He shared a video of fans enjoying the concert from outside the venue, alongside the caption: "No tickets needed," alongside red heart emojis.

Those in attendance in and outside of Heaton park saw the show on huge screens, measuring 84 meters by 12 meters, a whole 20 meters bigger than those in Cardiff at the first reunion shows. They are also the largest ever used at a concert in the UK.

Greater Manchester Police have urged people without tickets not to travel to Heaton Park. The force added: "We would advise all fans travelling to and from the coming events to ensure they keep an eye out for information from our partners about transport options and road closures, allow enough time to get to the concert, keep hydrated and look out for each other."
