Everything you need to know about the Oasis gigs this weekend - travel, times and banned items

Here is your guide to enjoying Oasis over this weekend.

Travel

The best way for fans to beat the traffic and get to the 80,000-capacity outdoor venue will be to travel by tram. On each night, there will be a six-minute service from Victoria Station to Bury - the only city centre station with a direct tram to Heaton Park. This is service will be capable of carrying 4,000 passengers an hour.

For the shows on July 11th, 12th, and 19th, the final trams will leave for the city centre at 2.02am and for Bury at 1.16am. On July 16th, the last trams will run at 1:32am to the city centre and 12.46am to Bury.

Additionally, Buses will start running back to Manchester after the event from a temporary bus station inside Heaton Park, from 10pm. Buses will continue to run until all passengers have cleared the bus station. The return drop-off point in the city is Shudehill Interchange.

Those who have to drive or need to be dropped off and picked up are encouraged to consider taking advantage of the 24 park and ride sites in Greater Manchester where you can park for free and hop on a tram to your destination. The park and ride sites on the Bury line are Whitefield (331 spaces and 13 disabled spaces) and Radcliffe - 480 spaces and 22 disabled spaces.
