Showsec was proud to lead the security and crowd management operation, alongside SES, for Oasis Live ’25 at Heaton Park, Manchester.

Across five sold-out shows over ten days, more than 340,000 fans attended one of the UK’s most anticipated concert series. From the earliest planning stages through to final show egress, Showsec played a key role in helping deliver a safe, secure and enjoyable experience for artists, crew and concertgoers.

Our Co-CEO, Mark Logan, served as Head of Security for the event series, supported by Regional Managers Tom Bailey, who helped develop the crowd and security management plan, and Craig Bennett, who worked alongside SES and PES to coordinate site-wide deployment and delivery.

The operation involved the deployment of more than 950 staff per show day, accounting for over 5,600 shifts across the event. Working in partnership with event stakeholders, our teams managed entry operations, search and screening, crowd management, incident response and audience movement throughout the site.

The successful delivery of Oasis Live ’25 is a testament to the professionalism, expertise and commitment of everyone involved, from planners and managers through to supervisors and frontline staff.

“The legend of Heaton Park as an event space has been firmly established thanks to Showsec, SES and PES; every day was show day one and everyone rose to the challenge.”
