Heathrow welcomes Oasis fans
Oasis' return to London is much more than a concert: it is a cultural event that transforms the British capital into the must-see destination for Britpop fans and music travel enthusiasts. Ahead of the two final dates of the "Live '25" reunion, on September 27 and 28 at Wembley Stadium, Heathrow Airport has decided to make the wait even more special.
Heathrow between music and tourism
From 27 August to 28 September, an estimated 4.3 million passengers will pass through Heathrow. Among them, over 25,000 travelers will arrive from Manchester, the band's hometown, to attend Oasis' last London shows. A flow that confirms Heathrow's role as an international hub not only for air connections, but also as a gateway to UK culture and events.
To mark the occasion, arriving passengers will be able to take part in an instant poll to choose whether to side with Team Liam or Team Noel. A symbolic challenge that ignites the spirit of the reunion even before setting foot in the city.
Music tourism on the rise
According to a recent report by UK Music, music tourism attracted 23.5 million travellers to the UK in 2024, an increase of 23% compared to the previous year. Of these, 1.6 million came from abroad, marking a jump of 62%. London, with its world-class events and concerts, confirms itself as the capital of music, capable of generating 7.5 million visitors and an estimated economic impact of 2.7 billion pounds.
London as a destination to experience
Oasis concerts are the perfect opportunity to discover London in a different way: not only iconic monuments and historic districts, but also iconic places of music, historic venues and unique atmospheres that attract tourists from all over the world.
The reunion of Oasis in London is not only a musical event, but also a tourist and cultural phenomenon that strengthens the link between travel, music and destinations and Heathrow, with its dedicated initiative, transforms the arrival at the airport into an unforgettable experience, ready to involve millions of passengers in a historic moment for British music.
