Overall verdict from people who have been to the Heaton Park gigs so far?

Went on Saturday night, was absolutely exceptional.

My Mrs decided she wasn’t going to drink so we paid for a parking spot about a 40 minute walk away, met friends in pubs on the walk to HP. Walked back to the car park, starving we sat in a nearby McDonald’s and had some scran. 30 mins drive back to Tod and we were home for midnight.

Parked at somewhere called Vision Multi Academy Trust, cost £40 but it was 100% worth it IMO.

It sure was mate, the others had sold out which I think were a bit cheaper (it was very much a last minute thing). Saved a lot of faff though which I was more than grateful for.

Went on Saturday - few tips that might be useful for those going Wendesday / Next weekend

1) We went in early, and got front of front standing. We went in about 3:30, but reckon the front of front standing lasted til 4:30 ish pints were £6.50 and pace of service was very good at Bar 7 (Use the right hand entrance, under the banner - most people seem to turn left)

2) Once in front of front we stayed on the left hand side of the centre of the stage - great views, easier access to toilets and bars, and most importantly closest to the gate that gets you to the tram stop.

3) At the end of the gig, we walked straight out of the exit (which was by the afore mentioned bar 7) and followed the crowds down the hill. We were out of the gig (having watched all of the encore and the fireworks) before the band - they came through with a police esocrt in their cars etc. Anyway, I digress - going this way meant we were at Bowker vale and amongst the first people to get a tram. We were back in Manchester having a pint in the Northern Quarter by 11:05pm. This is very different to people who end up going through other exits,

With regards to the gig itself - absolutely incredible. Cast were good, Ashcroft was amazing - very emotional set, and Oasis were next level. From a crowd perspective, it was a friendly, welcoming group of people, made up of all ages, sexes, colours, creeds, nationalities the lot. People were in great form, friendly, having fun, apologising if they stepped on your toes etc. I did see one fight between 2 lads, but that was the only trouble in a whole weekend in Manchester. My report back to the missus was that I was physically, mentally and emotionally drained - there wasn't a break really from the start of Ashcroft at 7pm, til the end of Oasis at 10:20 ish. The best gig i've ever been to - and there have been lots.
