Travel Disruption Expected: Plan Ahead
OASIS CONCERTS: Friday 11 & Saturday 12 July, Wednesday 16 July, Saturday 19 July & Sunday 20 July
TfGM are forecasting a busy transport network and are encouraging everyone making a journey over this period to plan ahead.
On Friday 11 and Saturday 12 July, Oasis will be kickstarting their five-night tour at Heaton Park, with more 300,000 fans attending over the five nights. Their tour will continue on Wednesday 16 July, and the last two performances will take place on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 July.
With 5 performances taking place across the two weeks, the network will be extremely busy due to concert goers making their way to Heaton Park, and customers making their way to other events in the city.
AO ARENA & COOP LIVE
Kool and the Gang will be performing at the AO Arena on Friday 11 July, with doors opening at 6pm. Across town, Lancashire Lightning will be taking on Yorkshire in a game of cricket at Emirates Old Trafford, with the event commencing at 7pm.
The following weekend, Billie Eilish will perform at the Co-op Live, on both Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 July. In the meantime, the AO Arena will see Paw Patrol attract crowds of over 20,000, increasing congestion across the city centre on both nights.
METROLINK WORKS AT PICCADILLY GARDENS
Metrolink works at Piccadilly Gardens will continue until 10 August, with no services operating through Piccadilly Gardens. Ashton-bound services will start from Piccadilly, with all other lines will operate via Exchange Square and Market Street.
TRAVEL GUIDANCE
Information for those travelling to the events or making their way from A to B can be found on the TfGM website.
