Detective Inspector Aimee-Leigh Sando said the police could not ‘give a timeframe’ on when the investigation into Mr Claydon’s death will be completed.
Ms Sando told the inquest: ‘We are reviewing all evidence including CCTV footage and surrounding evidence.
‘We are looking to complete statements from significant witnesses of those present during the fall.
‘A substantial amount of personnel came forward after we put out the media request.’
Mr Walker adjourned the inquest until a pre-inquest hearing on November 19.
The senior coroner added: ‘Having heard that information I’m going to open an investigation touching on the death of Lee Claydon.
‘I’m going to direct that a pre-inquest hearing take place on November 19 this year at 10am.’
The fall happened during a run of stadium shows for the rock band’s sell-out Live ’25 reunion tour – their first since splitting in 2009.
Oasis previously said in a statement: ‘We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show.
‘Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.’
