AN Oasis fan who snuck into one of their gigs posing as a litter picker says he was surprised at how easy it was.

Transport planner John, 42, said he had arrived in Manchester ticketless but with a “master plan”; after borrowing a yellow high vis vest and litter grabber from work.
“I took it with me as a last resort.
“They’d been lying around in one of the warehouses so I borrowed them for a bit,”; said the transport planner from Alfreton, Derbyshire.
“I was quite lucky.
“It was just unbelievable really.
“From a security point of view, and they didn’t check for any tickets.
“I was acting very casual and when I saw the security guys I started picking up litter around them, saying ‘Mind if I grab that mate’ and I walked through.
“I did a half hour shift of picking, filling a bag with beer cans and plates.
“It was well worth it.
“I didn’t get paid for the work but I got a free concert.”;
Amazingly, the entrance John decided to infiltrate was front standing, meaning he was just feet from and on stage.
kicked off their Live ’25 tour in Cardiff last week before travelling to Manchester for five homecoming shows.
Three further gigs are set to take place at Heaton Park this week â on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday â before Oasis travel toto perform for.
