Hotel prices soar (& it's not little by little)

On Tuesday, Noel and Liam Gallagher announced they would be reuniting and are planning to embark on a huge world tour in 2025 - including four homecoming shows in Heaton Park.

The Manchester dates are set to take place on Friday, July 11, Saturday, July 12 and then Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20. Following the huge announcement, room prices at hotels across Manchester skyrocketed by hundreds of pounds for the date of the concerts.

Meanwhile, some of the most affordable rooms in the city centre have vanished from booking sites. According to the Booking.​com website, on the first Friday of July next year, there are more than 280 places to stay available in Manchester.

But on the first weekend that Oasis play, this figure is slashed to around less than 50.
