Scenes coming out of Heaton Park don't bode will forthe thousands of fans flocking to Manchester to see Oasisreunite on home turf. Warnings have already been issued by show bosses as 80,000 plus music fans descend on Liam and Noel Gallagher's hometown for sold-out performances this weekend.
However, this weekend's forecast has bucked the usual unpredictable weather during outdoor events, with hot weather sweeping the UK. Manchester is set to see temperatures reach nearly 30 degrees over the weekend as the mini-heatwave continues.
Bosses have relaxed their usual rules and have encouraged fans to take water, suncream and hats into the venue. Although taking food and drink into Heaton Park is strictly prohibited, those attending can, instead, take a collapsible 500ml water bottle.
Once inside the park, there will be dedicated water refill points, as well as the bar, which will be stocked with both alcoholic and soft drinks. Fans are also encouraged to wear sun protection and, if possible, a hat to reduce the risks of sunburn and sunstroke.
There will also be medical assistance from the three welfare tents, two situated to the left of the stage and one to the right, close to the merchandise stand and bar. However, dark scenes from inside the tents have shown the preparations in place to support those due to the heat.
BBC Radio 2 host and longtime Oasis fan Vernon Kay shared a glimpse inside a tent as rows and rows of medical beds could be seen. "Here we go, Heaton Park getting ready for those people who refuse to hydrate themselves," Vernon said as he panned around the room.
He urged: "Come on, gets some electrolytes in your body. We don't want to see you on any of these mats. These are not for yoga, these are not yoga mats. This is not a sun lounger. These are where people will recover."
Vernon added: "I know you are going to want to have a drink or two but just go steady people. We want to have a good time, we don't want to see a queue for the beds of doom."
Heaton Park bosses also put out their own warning, as fans have been entering the site since 3pm. They said: "With a very hot weather forecast on both Friday and Saturday please stay hydrated, you will be permitted to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml. This must be collapsible plastic.
"Wear sunscreen, you will be permitted to bring in a small bottle 200ml or under and protect yourself from the sun overall/wear a hat; we know the legendary bucket hat will be making an appearance, so you’ll fit right in! Look after yourself and those around you."
On Saturday, the lowest temperature is set to come at 4am – 18C. However, it's also thought to peak between 4pm and 7pm, with temperature predicted to be between 27-32C. And with the staggering temperatures, it's said the highest UV warning will be at 1pm, which is a level 7.
