Oasis 2027 Tour: Everything We Know About the Rumoured Knebworth Return and Etihad Residency

Oasis are heavily rumoured to announce a 2027 tour featuring a 12-night Etihad residency and a return to Knebworth. Here's everything we know so far.

Industry insiders are pointing firmly towards a massive Oasis 2027 tour, with multiple credible outlets reporting that an official announcement could arrive within weeks. While Liam and Noel Gallagher have yet to confirm anything, the weight of evidence gathering around these rumours is hard to dismiss.

If you want to be among the first to know the moment anything is confirmed, follow Oasis on Evnt Central now — you'll get an instant alert the second new shows are added.


What the Rumours Are Saying About the Oasis 2027 Tour

The story broke in earnest via the Manchester Evening News, which cited multiple music industry sources claiming that the Oasis 2027 tour is not a question of if but when, and that the announcement is imminent. According to those sources, a luxury city-centre Manchester hotel has already been "entirely booked out from the end of May through June" for the band and their touring entourage. That is, to put it mildly, not how you spend money on a maybe.

According to reporting by the Manchester Evening News, the centrepiece of the rumoured UK leg would be a 12-night homecoming residency at the Etihad Stadium, home of Liam and Noel's beloved Manchester City, spread across May and June 2027. A source close to Manchester City FC told the outlet: "It will be 12 nights at the Etihad Stadium across May and June. It's just massive for Manchester and for the local economy." The same source suggested that figure could even climb to 20 nights if demand warrants it.

The Sun's Bizarre column added further detail, with a source claiming the touring schedule also includes six nights at Knebworth Park in Hertfordshire across a three-week period in September 2027. Ireland is also in the frame: as first reported by Dublin Live and picked up widely, there are rumours of a headline show at Slane Castle, a venue Oasis have played before, in 1995 and 2009. Bookmaker Ladbrokes have placed Slane Castle at 2/1 odds for a confirmed appearance. European dates are understood to be part of the plan too, with Rome specifically cited in multiple reports.


The Hints Have Been Coming for Months

None of this emerged from nowhere. The breadcrumb trail leading to a 2027 Oasis tour dates back to the closing weeks of the Live '25 reunion run itself.

At the final Wembley Stadium show in September 2025, Liam told the crowd "See you next year" before theatrically slapping his own wrist, as if catching himself saying too much. Guitarist Gem Archer fanned the flames further in December 2025 when he revealed that Noel had quipped there is "no rest for the immensely talented". When a fan asked Liam on X whether he felt sad the tour was ending, his reply was characteristically oblique: "I'm not actually, as I know things you don't know."

The clearest signal came in April 2026, when Liam was filmed in Italy meeting fans. Asked directly whether Oasis would play Rome, he told them — on camera — "without a doubt, 100 per cent". That clip spread rapidly, and since then the volume of speculation has only grown.

Liam had already confirmed earlier in 2026 that there would be no touring this year, telling fans on X not to expect 2026 dates. So the question was never really whether Oasis would return. It was always when.


The Parklife Clue Nobody Is Ignoring

Among the more circumstantial, but telling, pieces of evidence is a scheduling change by Manchester's Parklife Festival. The annual event, which typically takes place across a June weekend, has moved its 2027 dates to 10 and 11 July. That is the first time Parklife has been held in July rather than June, and fan speculation strongly suggests the shift was made to avoid a direct clash with an Oasis residency at the Etihad. Festival promoters have not confirmed this reasoning, but the timing is difficult to write off as coincidence.

If and when Oasis tickets go on sale, they will almost certainly sell through a presale before the general public gets a look in. The Evnt Central app lets you follow Oasis and set up free presale reminders, so you won't be caught off guard when the on-sale window opens.


Why Knebworth Means So Much

A return to Knebworth Park would carry enormous symbolic weight. In August 1996, Oasis played two nights at the Hertfordshire estate that have since become one of the most mythologised events in British music history. Approximately 250,000 people attended across the two dates, but the demand was so extraordinary that an estimated 2.6 million people applied for tickets, the equivalent of around five per cent of the entire UK population at the time. The band's own estimate was that they could have sold 20 nights at the venue.

Those shows became the subject of a celebrated live album and, 25 years later, a feature-length documentary that became the UK's highest-grossing documentary film of 2021. Liam returned to Knebworth as a solo artist in June 2022, drawing approximately 170,000 fans across two nights. For 2027, coming 31 years after the original concerts, a full Oasis return to that hallowed ground would be something else entirely.

It is worth noting that Knebworth rumours have circulated before. In October 2025, a British peer, Lady Taylor of Stevenage, stood up in the House of Lords and claimed that Oasis were playing five back-to-back anniversary shows there in 2026. She later retracted those comments. This time, however, the sourcing appears considerably more grounded.


The Scale of What's Coming

To understand what a 2027 Oasis tour would mean commercially, it helps to look at what Live '25 achieved. The reunion tour ran to 41 shows, shifted 2.23 million tickets, and grossed approximately $405 million — one of the biggest touring years any act has produced in recent memory. A 2027 run anchored by up to 20 Etihad Stadium dates, six Knebworth shows, Slane Castle, and a European leg would comfortably eclipse that.

The demand problem, in other words, will be severe. The 1996 Knebworth shows saw 2.6 million people chasing two nights of tickets. Nobody seriously expects 2027 to be any calmer. Evnt Central's event pages pull together every presale link and on-sale time in one place, so when Oasis tickets do go live you have the best possible chance of getting through — follow Oasis on Evnt Central to be notified the instant tour dates are confirmed and event pages go up.


What About Glastonbury 2027?

With Glastonbury returning in 2027 after this year's fallow, bookmakers have Oasis at 4/6 odds to headline the Pyramid Stage. Whether the band would fit a Glastonbury slot around a touring schedule of this scale remains to be seen, but it is another thread that will be watched closely in the coming weeks.

An Oasis reunion documentary is also reportedly heading to Disney+ and cinemas later this year, which could serve as a well-timed trailer for whatever the band announces next.
