Oasis have officially announced the second phase of their comeback, revealing plans to perform across the United Kingdom and Europe throughout summer 2027. The announcement, made on Monday 14 September, confirms a return to Knebworth House in Hertfordshire for four nights in September, an 11-night residency at Manchester's Etihad Stadium in June, and five performances at Glasgow's Celtic Park in May, marking a major expansion of their reunion following the commercial success of their 2025 tour.
The band's 2025 comeback generated an estimated £300 million in box office revenue, establishing the reunion as one of the most financially successful tours in recent history. The newly confirmed 2027 dates represent the next chapter of their return after a 16-year split that ended in 2024.
According to reports of the announcement, the band used a drone display over Manchester's Etihad Stadium to signal the reveal, with the official announcement timed for 4pm BST. The display followed similar promotional activity in Rome and posters appearing on the Paris Metro, building anticipation for the tour confirmation.
The band's social media message accompanying the announcement stated:
"After a period of reflection, 'The Most Damaging Pop Cultural Force In Recent British History' has declared itself fit for purpose and will once again return to lift the spirits of the people. Come witness the fitness. It shall be a sight to behold."
What are the confirmed 2027 dates?
Oasis will perform five nights at Glasgow's Celtic Park in May 2027, followed by an 11-night residency at Manchester's Etihad Stadium in June. According to leaked provisional schedules, the band are also set for additional dates across Europe, including performances in Paris, Munich, Milan and Rome, as well as Las Vegas. The Knebworth House dates in September will span four nights at the 125,000-capacity venue, returning to the site of their legendary 1996 performances.
The band will also return to Slane Castle in County Meath, Ireland, for four dates in August, positioned between the Manchester and Knebworth legs of the tour.
How will fans purchase tickets?
Oasis have introduced a new ticket registration system modelled on the approach used by Glastonbury Festival, designed to address the problems that plagued their 2025 tour launch. The registration period opened on Monday 14 September and closes at 16:00 BST on Thursday 17 September. UK tickets are scheduled to go on sale across 25, 26 and 27 September.
The revised process represents a direct response to widespread criticism of the 2025 ticket sales, which saw fans queuing for hours and facing unexpected price increases. Following an investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), Ticketmaster agreed to implement voluntary improvements, including advance notification of tiered pricing systems, clearer price information during the queue process, and the elimination of misleading ticket labels.
Why does Knebworth hold such significance?
Knebworth House was the venue for Oasis's most celebrated performances, when the band played two nights in August 1996 that are widely regarded as the pinnacle of the Britpop era. The shows drew 250,000 fans across the two nights, with more than 4 per cent of the UK population applying for tickets. The bill featured supporting acts including the Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers, The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers.
Prior to Knebworth, Oasis had performed at Manchester City's old Maine Road ground, with those shows captured on film for the concert documentary There and Then. The band later played at the Etihad Stadium in 2005, nearly a decade after the Maine Road performances.
Speaking at the premiere of a Knebworth documentary film in 2021, Noel Gallagher reflected on the magnitude of the original 1996 shows, saying the band had possessed
"no fear"about the scale of the event, but acknowledged that
"if they were to do it again now they would be petrified."
The 2027 Knebworth dates will mark the 30th anniversary of those landmark performances. According to earlier reports, North Hertfordshire Council granted the band's promoters, SJM Concerts, a premises licence allowing crowds of up to 125,000, with the licence remaining in place indefinitely. The four-night Knebworth residency is now set to surpass the attendance record established by Robbie Williams, who drew 375,000 fans across three consecutive nights at the same venue in 2003.
What has happened since the 2025 reunion?
The 2025 reunion tour exceeded expectations despite its troubled launch. A BBC review noted that the band
"hadn't sounded so good since the 1990s,"and Noel Gallagher told TalkSport midway through the world tour that he and his bandmates had been
"blown away"by the response to their return after 16 years apart.
A documentary chronicling the reunion tour, titled Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger, premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2026 and was released in UK cinemas on 11 September. The film features the Gallagher brothers' first joint interview since their acrimonious split in 2009, and captures emotional moments from their reconciliation. In the documentary, Noel confirms that the band is
"not a power struggle any more."
The renewed interest in Oasis following the 2025 tour has extended beyond live performances. Their second album, (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, officially overtook The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in the UK's all-time album chart, becoming the nation's most popular album of all time. The song Wonderwall from that album became an unofficial England World Cup anthem during the summer of 2026.
How did the 2027 announcement come about?
Speculation about a 2027 tour intensified following comments made by Noel Gallagher in an interview with TalkSport. He remarked:
"There must be something happening."He added:
"Well, let's put it this way: there's no football tournament on next year, so we've got to do something in the summer, right?"
The band subsequently posted a series of cryptic videos on their official social media channels, appearing to tease performances across the UK and Europe. These were followed by the drone display outside the Etihad Stadium last week, which pointed to Monday's announcement, along with similar promotional activity in Rome and posters on the Paris Metro.
Earlier this summer, it emerged that the band's promoters had applied for an events licence covering the Knebworth gigs, fuelling speculation among fans that a return to the historic venue was imminent. The licence application came ahead of the 30th anniversary of the 1996 shows.
What happens next?
Fans wishing to purchase tickets must register between now and 16:00 BST on Thursday 17 September. The general ticket sale will take place across 25, 26 and 27 September for UK dates. International ticket information for European and Las Vegas shows is expected to follow the UK on-sale period.
The 2027 tour represents a continuation of Oasis's comeback trajectory, with the band now positioned to potentially break attendance records at multiple venues. The Knebworth residency alone is expected to draw crowds exceeding the previous record set by Robbie Williams at the same location.
