All 11 Oasis Manchester 2027 concerts take place at the Etihad Stadium, Etihad Campus, Ashton New Road, Manchester M11 3FF. A few things worth knowing about the venue before you go:
- Home of Manchester City, the club the Gallagher brothers support
- Built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games
- About 3 km east of Manchester Piccadilly
- Has its own Metrolink tram stop, Etihad Campus
Entrances and arrival
Entry gates and turnstiles are printed on your ticket and differ for standing and seated areas. The approach from the Etihad Campus tram stop leads straight to the main concourse, so expect it to be busiest; arriving from the Ashton New Road side can be quicker.
Bag policy and what to bring
UK stadium concerts usually allow only small bags (around A4 size or smaller) and every bag is searched at the gate. The exact rules for these shows are published by the promoter before the first night, and we update the venue guide as soon as they are.
- Trams to Etihad Campus fill up fast in the two hours before the show. Leave early or walk the last stretch along Ashton New Road.
- Eat in the Northern Quarter or Ancoats before heading east; food options right by the stadium get very busy.
- Manchester rain is real even in June. Bring a light waterproof, as umbrellas are normally not allowed in.
Accessibility
Accessible seating, wheelchair platforms and companion tickets are booked through the ticket seller's access line. The Etihad Campus tram stop is step-free, and accessible drop-off is available close to the stadium on event days.
