Oasis
Detailed plans have been revealed for how Middleton will cope with the influx of almost 250,000 music fans next month.
Oasis are set to play three massive gigs in Heaton Park at the start of June and residents are bracing itself as more than 70,000 fans a day are expected to descend on the area.
Plans for the Gallagher brothers' gigs on 4, 6 and 7 of June include:
Using Bowlee Community Park as a temporary carpark for 7,000 vehicles on each of the three days, with park and ride facilities to and from the venue.
Enforcing strict no parking measures along Heywood Old Road from its junction with Manchester Old Road towards Corporation Avenue in Heywood.
No parking measures along Manchester Old Road from Croft Gates Roads during the daytime.
Side streets will also be cordoned off. Access and parking will be granted to local residents, providing they produce a utility bill to show they live in the area.
No parking measures available to be brought into force along Langley Lane if needed.
Parking enforcement officers on patrol to enforce no parking zone and grant access to locals.
Pubs and off licences have been informed and alcohol being consumed on the streets will be confiscated by police.
Alcohol bought from pubs will be served in plastic cups and drinking will be contained with the premises.
Door staff will be on duty and some pubs will close early.
Councillor Terry Linden, who has been involved in ensuring the town is ready for the gigs, said: "We have come into this quite late in the day but we have managed to get most things in place to ensure the town is able to cope.
"I don’t want to be negative about this as it could be really good for the town as there will be thousands of people coming here and visiting local businesses."
Letters are expected to be sent to local residents affected by the temporary parking restrictions in the coming days.
Next week’s Middleton Township meeting, held on 28 May, will also include a special forum for local residents to quiz officials on plans to deal with the gigs. The meeting is due to start at 6.15pm and will be held at Middleton Arena.

The Enemy’s frontman Tom Clarke has responded to media stories suggesting that he criticised Oasis in an interview with The Sun.
Talking to The Sun’s Gordon Smart and John Gaunt about the upcoming Oasis stadium tour on which The Enemy are confirmed as support, Clarke said, “I don’t think Noel needs to do it anymore [for the money]. He is doing it for the love of it. That’s the dream. That’s when you can say you’ve made it.”
Clarke’s comment was intended to be a compliment for Oasis and Noel Gallagher’s continuing success, but has instead been misinterpreted as criticism. Emphasising his respect for Oasis as both individuals and as band, Clarke responded by commenting: “That’s complete and utter bollocks! Oasis have been and still are one of my favourite bands ever. It’s an absolute honour for them to invite us onto their tour, I can’t wait! Oasis passed it? Not a fuckin’ chance!”

Liam Gallagher
Oasis
The Enemy
Tom Clarke
Oasis singer Liam Gallagher has launched a sensational attack on future tour support stars The Enemy.
The forthcoming UK tour by Oasis is undoubtedly one of the year's biggest live music events. After the success of their album 'Dig Out Your Soul' the band are to play some of their biggest venues in a decade, performing before countless thousands of fans.
Keen to make sure fans get their money's worth, Oasis have bagged some massive acts to act as support. Kasabian release their new album 'West Rider Pauper Asylum' soon, but even the Leicester group will have to play second fiddle on this tour.
Also due to play some dates on the tour are Oldham newcomers Twisted Wheel, but undoubtedly the most controversial choice is The Enemy.
With their album 'Music For The People' still ringing in our ears, the band are due to join Oasis on their upcoming tour. That is, if notoriously outspoken singer Liam Gallagher allows them within fifteen miles of the venue.
In a recent interview with The Sun singer Tom Clarke compared the success of The Enemy with career of Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher. “I don’t think Noel needs to do it any more. He’s doing it for the love of it. That’s the dream."
“That’s when you can say you’ve made it.”
However some people have regarded this as a slight on Oasis, with Liam Gallagher keen to hit back. In a message on the social networking Twitter the singer erupted at Tom Clarke's comments.
"Having read an interview with Tom Clarke from The Enemy apparently Oasis are past it?" Gallagher wrote. "Do you want to go on 1st (on the tour) or what you little fucker?"
It is worth remembering that Liam Gallagher is not to be trifled with. In addition to numerous photographers and members of the public he has also fought full scale battles with football hooligans (on a ferry) and members of the German mafia.
Liam Gallagher has been busy of late preparing the launch collection by his new fashion label Pretty Green. Not much has been seen of the new range, however a newly released photo shows Gallagher relaxing in a parka.
Oasis are due to open their UK tour later this summer. The Enemy are still scheduled to play support for them.

Oasis
Spandau Ballet
The recently reformed band love partying on the road and believe they could easily beat Noel and Liam Gallagher - who are also famed for their wild behaviour - in any alcohol-fuelled challenge.
Drummer John Keeble said: "We can take on Oasis. They are nice boys, pussycats. We're real rock 'n' roll."
Bassist Martin Kemp added: "The longest stretch I've had is four days of no sleep, just being on the road partying. It goes with being in a great band and I've told my wife that. Let's be real, it'll be like we're 18 again."
The 'Gold' hitmakers have also revealed they insist on travelling with tequila on their tour bus.
Singer Tony Hadley said: "Everywhere we go we take a massive case of tequila we've called Slammer 1. It's been with Spandau since day one."
Guitarist Gary Kemp added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "We were in Montreal with the Beastie Boys. They heard we were hardcore so invited us for a drinking session on Jack Daniels. We kept going until one of them puked up, screaming for his mother.
"Another time, the night before we recorded for Band Aid, we had a drink-off with Duran Duran. Steve Norman was so plastered he had to be carried off in a stretcher."
Meanwhile, Tony has revealed he has been checking the band's lyrics on the internet ahead of their comeback shows in October.
He said: "I'm OK with classics like 'Gold' but for some songs I ask my wife to Google the lyrics. If I forget some on our new tour, I'll point the mic at the audience for our fans to sing. I'm sure they'll give me a ticking off if I forget though."

Oasis
Zak Starkey
Ringo Starr Jnr opens up
Zak Starkey, self-proclaimed son of "the greatest drummer in the world" (The Beatles' Ringo Starr, of course), former stand-in for Oasis and occasional The Who sticksman, took time out from the aforementioned schedule to talk 'Uncle' Keith Moon and Brit infamy.
Before quitting Oasis over 'commitment issues', Starkey recorded 2008's Dig Out Your Soul. Our friends over at Rhythm magazine took the opportunity to talk about lead single Shock Of The Lightning's "hurtling Krautrock beat, dusted with eight bar sprinkle fills"…
"I did that as a joke! And no one in the band thought those crazy fills were going to make it on the record. I couldn't fucking believe it when I heard it on the radio! It was a lightning shock!"
The Who vs Oasis
When asked to compare playing with Oasis to playing with The Who to fill those enormous shoes left by Keith Moon, Starkey's second answer might also surprise: "It was just as difficult playing in Oasis as it is with The Who."
"It's irrelevant that there are more fills to play in The Who. I'd get all these wanker drummers saying, 'Oh man, I could do the Oasis gig with one hand tied behind my back'. Well, you may be able to but it will fucking sound shit mate! If my drumming was slightly slow or fast, everybody in that band knew it."
"F*cking massive"
"Liam, Noel, Gem and Andy are some of the smartest musicians I've ever met," he continued. "In fact, they're the most inspiring band I've ever worked with. I played with Oasis for four years and literally spent every day crying with laughter. Those lads are on it and that's why they're fucking massive."
You can read the full interview with Zak Starkey, plus exclusives with Doves' Andy Williams and Gallows' Lee Barratt in the current issue of Rhythm magazine, available now.

Manchester City lost the match 2-1 and Spurs fans chanted "Liam, what's the score?" after the final whistle.

Noel Gallagher
Oasis
The Gallaghers turned the '90s into barren retro-rock desert, argues Mark Beaumont
Britpop. It’s become such a dirty word I’m amazed my laptop doesn’t automatically asterisk the vowels. Think ‘punk’ and you instantly picture John Lydon snarling like a Pekingese with piles, think ‘grunge’ and you see a kohl-eyed Cobain, think ‘new rave’ and you envisage a clearly ‘refreshed’ Klaxons waving the Mercury Prize.
But think ‘Britpop’ and the Union Jack guitars, Blur/Oasis feuds and Jarvis arse-waggles are obscured by the detritus. You think of Sleeperblokes and lad mags, the Good Mixer and Chris Evans, Geri’s dress and The Girlie Show. Think ‘Britpop’ and, to the shame of an entire decade, you think “Menswe@r”.
I’m an unrepentant child of Britpop. I was in it from Blur’s ‘British Image No 1’, from ‘Popscene’ and ‘For Tomorrow’, from Suede’s ‘The Drowners’ and The Auteurs’ ‘Showgirl’:
I wore the Jarvo corduroy blazers and the Brett fringe-flop, did the slapping-your-arse-with-a-microphone shimmy across the dancefloors of Camden. In the Blur/Oasis war I was a frontline general for the Albarn Army. I revelled in the fact that, after so much ’80s miserablism, grunge, shoegazing and crusty anarchists bleating on about Thatcher (boo!) and Sainsbury’s (BOOO!), the underground was finally agreeing to enjoy some shameless, tuneful jubilance and feel awwwwwlright for a bit.
Sadly, it was just that brassy polish, brazen breeziness, lack of ‘loner’ angst and assimilation of chart-friendly ‘pop’ into guitar music that made it easy to mock in its wake. For the last decade I’ve had to endure my musical mum being called a slag. I’ve become a son of the disowned generation.
Then, just as the first clutch of Britpop club nights speckle London with their posters of a V-flicking Jarvis, this week saw the announcement of the first major three-CD Britpop compilation album, entitled ‘Common People’ (out June 8).
At last! A full and proper re-evaluation of one of the greatest scenes in pop history! Then I saw the tracklisting and my heart sank faster than the second Echobelly album. Totally eschewing the talents of the two true Britpop titans, Blur and Oasis, CD1 hints at the problem by including Britpop precursors that had little to do with the movement besides a timely overlap – Black Grape, The Stone Roses, James. By CD2 a rot is beginning to set in; between true Britpop classics such as ‘Common People’, ‘Alright’ and ‘Chasing Rainbows’, creep an army of Britpop pretenders. Northern Uproar? Kula Shaker? Ocean sodding Colour Scene?
Already the gleaming face of Britpop is being smeared in its own fetid effluence, and by CD3 it’s like Karl Marx being shown around Stalin’s Gulag or that bit in Alien: Resurrection where the perfectly cloned Sigourney Weaver alien finds all of the deformed experimental clone Sigourney/aliens in a lab begging “Please kill me…”. Gomez, The Seahorses, Hurricane #1, Stereophonics: all of the worst post-Oasis plodders are lasso’d into the Britpop corral, tainting the ’90s gene pool, feeding Britpop with its own sewage like a kind of musical French cattle farm.
Any hope I had that new listeners might too appreciate the wild pop thrill I once felt for ‘Wake Up Boo!’, ‘Slight Return’, ‘Inbetweener’ or ‘Female Of The Species’ is dashed, since there, fused like a malignant growth on the cheek of a supermodel, sit the godawful monstrosities that sprang from the loins of Noel Gallagher’s guitar and turned the end of the decade into a barren and boring retro-rock desert. Even this supposed celebration and re-evaluation of the era is ruined by the presence of its bastard offspring, dribbling and leering from the attic of the 1990s.
Britpop’s downfall was that its most successful band wasn’t also its epitome. Where Nirvana fairly defined grunge or the Pistols accurately captured punk spirit, the easily imitated rock chug of Oasis never took in the synthetic sexuality of Pulp and Suede, the jaunty jollities of Blur or Supergrass, the flagrant pop hooks of Dodgy or Space.
So Britpop: The Phenomenon must always be associated with the lobbed pint at Knebworth, the thundery stomp of a Gary Glitter steal and the dreary wailing of ‘The Riverboat Song’. None of which, as a true and pure child of Britpop, ever said anything to me about my life. It became a disgraced scene: ‘guitar pop’ a term of abuse, indie good spirits a cause for mockery, ‘Britpop’ a dirty word. So please, I entreat you to give ‘Common People’ a thorough iPod pruning of the effluvium and let Britpop die with dignity.
