"The protection of sources is not optional. It is a cornerstone of journalism.". An important read from @sarahllester today.

Absolutely chucking it down in town now ahead of potential storms this evening! @MENnewsdesk @CityLifeManc

It’s a little quieter in town this evening but the Oasis mural in the Notthern Quarter is still getting a bit of love from fans. @MENnewsdesk @CityLifeManc

It’s also calmed down at Victoria Station right now, this is where fans will need to get the tram to Heaton Park. @MENnewsdesk @CityLifeManc

Caught the Definitely Maybe bar at a quiet moment perhaps on the outside. But you can hear fans inside singing along to a rendition of Stop Crying Your Heart Out @MENnewsdesk @CityLifeManc

The MCR Live ‘25 hub at Piccadilly Gardens is continuing with the good vibes and live music. @MENnewsdesk @CityLifeManc

Here’s Noel Gallagher - with straw in mouth - signing for fans outside his Manchester hotel as he makes his way to Heaton Park for last homecoming show tonight. @MENnewsdesk @CityLifeManc

Here’s Chris Radford, who’s amongst the fans hoping to meet Noel outside his hotel this afternoon @MENnewsdesk @CityLifeManc

Philip Scupin and Christoph Manschke, from Hamburb, are in Manchester for their first time. “It’s crazy, I never thought we would see Oasis again,” Philip said. “Manchester has been fantastic, there’s such a great noise here!” @mennewsdesk @CityLifeManc

Stephen Lynn, AKA Dionysus Art, is showcasing his work at St Peter’s Square. “I’ve met people from all over the world this week,” he said. “One Canadian woman thought she’d come the furthest, but I’ve spoke to fans from Columbia, China and Australia!” @MENnewsdesk @CityLifeManc

This is the queue for the merch stand at St Peter’s Square at the moment. It creeps past the library building but is moving steadily. @mennewsdesk @CityLifeManc

The Oasis merch pop-up at St Peter’s Square is a lot busier than yesterday. Must be because the weather is better (so far). @mennewsdesk @CityLifeManc

Here’s Francesca Bastow, Serena Cooper and her daughter Bethany (front row) from Leeds. They’ve had an absolute hotel mare and splashed out £800 on two rooms but they said it’ll be “absolutely worth it”. “It’s gonna be biblical,” Bethany said. @mennewsdesk @CityLifeManc

Here’s Oasis fans outside the beer garden at The Ostrich where they’re joining in on a sing-along of Stand By Me (via @Kit_Roberts1649). @MENnewsdesk @CityLifeManc

Victoria Station is looking pretty bare now @CityLifeManc @MENnewsdesk

Here’s siblings Louis and Liv, who are visiting from Brazil. They’re attending tomorrow nights show and spending tonight at Definitely Maybe. They said they grew up on Oasis. “They are like a religion for us,” Louis said. @MENnewsdesk @CityLifeManc

Some fans are waiting to get inside Definitely Maybe, on the corner of Affleck’s. It’s the only Oasis-themed bar in the UK and has been hosting all-day parties during all the Manchester shows. @MENnewsdesk @CityLifeManc

And just like that, those queues for the shuttle bus have already dispersed. @CityLifeManc @MENnewsdesk

Here’s Christian, Sara and Marta who have come all the way from Madrid just for tonight’s show. “We wanted to see Oasis in Manchester because they are from here,” Marta said. Sara added: “it feels like a dream to finally be seeing them!” @CityLifeManc @MENnewsdesk

This is the queue for the Oasis shuttle buses to Heaton Park on Lever Street now. Much busier than earlier on! @CityLifeManc @MENnewsdesk
