They’re already calling it Gallagher Hill — and now it has its own official T-shirt.
On Sunday, during the final Manchester date of Oasis’ epic Live ’25 homecoming tour at Heaton Park, around 1,000 free T-shirts with the words Gallagher Hill were handed out to fans gathered on the now-iconic hill overlooking the site.
What started as a quiet elevated spot with a partial view of the stage quickly became a cult location after ticketless fans discovered it during the first show on July 11. Despite the city council putting up fencing and urging people not to attend, the hill kept filling up — night after night.
On Sunday, under direct instruction from the band, the free tees were distributed to the crowd watching from above.
Noel Gallagher’s daughter, Anaïs, who fronted a BBC Sounds series about the band’s fans, posted a picture on Instagram with the caption: “Oasis giving these out on Gallagher Hill is [heart emoji].”
The night before, Liam Gallagher even dedicated “Bring It On Down”, a fan favourite from Definitely Maybe, to those on the hill — further cementing their place in Oasis tour folklore.
From Free to £2,500
Naturally, some of the T-shirts have already surfaced on eBay, with replica versions starting at £16 and original ones reaching eye-watering prices above £2,500.
Post-Gig Mess Draws Criticism
The celebration wasn’t without controversy. On Monday morning, the hillside was left covered in litter, drawing criticism from local officials. Alan Quinn, Bury Council’s cabinet member for the environment, called the aftermath “shameful” on BBC Radio Manchester:
“If people brought the litter in, they could’ve taken it home. Or at least left it in one place to make it easier for the litter pickers — but it was strewn everywhere.”
Peaceful Crowd, Memorable Shows
Despite the mess, Greater Manchester Police praised the behaviour of the 320,000+ fans who attended the five Heaton Park gigs. Just five arrests were made on Sunday, and no major incidents were reported.
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle, who led the police operation, said:
“We’ve now seen all five Oasis events pass without any major issues. I’m pleased that the overwhelming majority of people attending have enjoyed themselves and behaved sensibly and responsibly.”
With Manchester now in the rear-view mirror, the Burnage brothers head to London’s Wembley Arena for the next chapter of what’s already becoming a legendary reunion tour.
