Emma Bunton was the only Spice Girl in attendance, accompanied by husband Jade Jones and their son Beau, 17. Oasis, led by Noel and Liam Gallagher, performed their first shows for almost two decades in Cardiff last weekend to kick off a world tour.

But this weekend they play their home town as part of five shows in front of 80,000 fans each night at Heaton Park over the next two weeks.

Oasis will again be supported at Heaton Park by Richard Ashcroft and Liverpool band Cast. Cast frontman John Power said: “I think the opening night in Manchester, the homecoming show, I think it's going to be crazy. I really just think it's a bit like another opening night again.

“It's like a Northern Soul, rock and roll vibe, you know, ourselves, Richard Ashcroft, and then obviously Oasis, the biggest band since the Beatles.”

Other guests at the Oasis Heaton Park shows this weekend are expected to include footballers from Manchester City and United. Noel Gallagher is staying at a hotel which is co-owned by Gary Neville.

This is the first time that Noel and Liamwill be performing in their beloved Manchester for the first time since 2009. But there's a huge change, there is a massive front standing section which appears to occupy roughly 10% of the entire venue, with those holding front standing or 'front pit standing' tickets, as it's alternatively termed in the update, granted their own dedicated entrance via Sheepfoot Lane.

General admission ticket holders must enter through Bury Old Road. The new details also stress that no food or beverages may be brought onto the premises, and chairs are forbidden.

One recommendation for watching Noel and Liam perform is to "bring a foldable blanket to sit on" though it must fit within your bag.

You're also not allowed to bring food and drink into the concert area of the park. However, water stations will be available. Guidelines specify: "You are welcome to bring an empty plastic bottle, we will have water refill points on site."
