Video captures the moment scores of ticketless Oasis fans stormed Heaton Park fences as the band took to the stage.
The clip shows a stream of fans – on what has been dubbed ‘Gallagher Hill’ – running over a fallen metal fence panel and disappear behind a line of trees.
Other video seen by the Manchester Evening News shows police intervening as the hundreds of fans realise there is a second line of much taller, wooden fencing.

It was later confirmed nobody managed to get into the concert area. It is understood the tall fences and a heavy security presence deterred those trying to chance their way inside.
Huge crowds gathered at the spot after figuring out the massive screens behind the band could be seen and the Oasis classics loud and clear.
It comes following reports of around 50 fans attempting to jump fences as the band played their first Manchester gig at the park on Friday (July 11).

A dispersal order is currently in place around Heaton Park and the surrounding areas. The order gives constables and police community support officers the power to disperse crowds and prevent nuisance.
The force said that while there is no immediate risk, safety is the ‘main priority’.
Reporter Chris Slater, who was outside Heaton Park talking to fans, said: “An eyewitness has told me that just before Oasis came on stage around 50 people tried to ‘rush’ one of the internal entrances to the gig area. They said around 10 appeared to get in but the rest were apprehended and turned away.”
In images from the scene, one man was seen handcuffed as an officer escorted him away, while another carried a ladder. Another image showed a line of officers outside a number of entrances to stop ticketless fans from entering the gig area.
