Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has shown love to the die-hard fans gathering outside Heaton Parkwithout tickets, paying tribute to the crowds who’ve been tuning in from a now-famous grassy mound dubbed “Gallagher Hill.”
As Liam, 52, and his brother Noel Gallagher, 59, continue their epic reunion tour—their first in over 15 years—thousands of ticketless fans have been listening from nearby hills just to be part of the experience. On Saturday night (July 19), Liam paused during the set to acknowledge their loyalty.
“If you lot are listening on the hill… bring it on down,” he shouted, before launching into the high-energy “Bring It On Down” from their 1994 debut Definitely Maybe.
Gallagher Hill: The Heart of the Outsiders’ Party
The mound, located just outside the official concert grounds in north Manchester, has become a pilgrimage site for Oasis lovers. Fans who couldn’t score tickets still flocked there nightly during the band’s five-show run at Heaton Park.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the hill became so popular that a fence was installed around it to protect livestock and newly planted trees—but that didn’t stop fans from gathering. Despite warnings from Manchester City Council that the show couldn’t be seen from the hill, the atmosphere and music were more than enough for the crowd.
400,000 Fans—and Counting
By the time the final show concludes on Sunday night (July 20), around 400,000 official attendeesare expected to have seen Oasis perform at Heaton Park. That number doesn’t include the thousands of unofficial spectators perched on Gallagher Hill each night.
The Heaton Park gigs are part of the band’s massive international tour, which now moves on to Wembley Stadium in London. The tour is already being hailed as one of the most successful reunions in rock history, with an estimated gross of £100 million. Both Liam and Noel are reportedly set to earn up to £40 million apiece from ticket sales, merch, and brand deals.
Liam Takes a Jab at Coldplay Fans
Never one to hold his tongue, Liam also used Saturday night’s show to take a cheeky swipe at a viral Coldplay moment. Referring to a recent clip of a couple hugging and disappearing off-camera at a Coldplay concert, he joked:
“We don’t do that… round here,” prompting loud laughter and cheers from the Manchester crowd.
Police Presence and Crowd Behavior
Despite the huge turnout and high energy, Greater Manchester Police confirmed the concert “concluded without any major incidents.” However, 14 arrests were made, including for fraud, assault, and drink driving.
