Noel Gallagher approves as transport bosses get creative with traffic sign ahead of Heaton Park gig

Noel Gallagher has given his seal of approval to Manchester transport bosses as they prepare for his homecoming gig.

The local lad will be playing Heaton Park on Friday, June 7, with his High Flying Birds the night before the annual Parklife festival takes place over the open space across the weekend.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to head out to see Noel who hasn't played the setting since a gig with Oasis ten years ago.

And what happens when loads of people descend on the city? A lot of traffic.

So the clever folk over at Transport for Greater Manchester have been having a little bit of fun with their traffic signage following its success with Spice Girls positivity and football bantz over the last few months.

But the good news is, Noel approves as he tweeted about it himself.

Alongside a snap of the genius sign which reads: "Maybe I don't really wana know, how your traffic goes, cause I don't wanna drive," before detailing the event, the 52-year-old said: "See you on Friday! Nice one @OfficialTFGM #NGHFBHeatonPark."

Another eagle-eyed fan also spotted another which said: "Congestion:? Definitely Maybe!" before, again, those all important details.

Noel will be joined at the gig by another big Manchester band, Doves, as well as White Denim and Inhaler.
