Enthusiasts of the Manchester rock band have identified a series of hidden messages embedded in a promotional video released by Oasis, with many believing the clues point toward performances at Celtic Park in Glasgow during 2027.
The band distributed a 23-second teaser across their official social media channels on 3 September 2026, depicting two young men inside what appears to be a Scottish fish and chip shop. According to Glasgow World, the video has sparked considerable speculation about a potential Glasgow venue announcement.
Internet enthusiasts have worked through the imagery methodically, discovering numerical sequences displayed on posters throughout the chip shop setting. When decoded, these numbers correspond to the geographical coordinates of Celtic's Parkhead stadium. The discovery has intensified conjecture that the Gallagher brothers intend to add Scottish dates to their touring schedule, potentially marking the opening leg of a fresh tour cycle.
The band's previous reunion campaign proved extraordinarily successful, encompassing 41 sold-out stadium performances across 14 nations. Their Scottish leg included three shows at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh during August 2025, where they performed in front of 200,000 spectators.
How did fans decode the coordinates?
The coordinate clues are distributed throughout the video in multiple forms. One poster advertises a family chip shop meal bundle priced at £55.84, while another displays the frequency for radio station Sol FM 98.92. These figures combine to form 55.849892N, representing the stadium's latitude.
Additional clues include a refrigerator label instructing it be maintained at minus 4 degrees, a sign indicating the daily special costs £2.05, and a taxi service number featuring the area code 638. Taken together, these numbers produce -4.205638W, which represents Celtic Park's longitude.
The video also incorporates other Scottish cultural references. Scottish actor Robert Carlyle appears in footage for the Oasis composition Little by Little, which plays as background music. The refrigerator contains Irn Bru and other products from AG Barr, while one of the boys exchanges a Mars Bar to be deep fried—a traditional Scottish chip shop preparation.
Supporters have circulated additional theories on social media platforms. One observation notes that the positioning of the two boys mirrors the arrangement of Noel and Liam Gallagher on the cover artwork of Definitely Maybe, with the refrigerator occupying a comparable position to a window in that iconic image.
What is the significance of the band's connection to Celtic?
The Gallagher brothers have demonstrated a well-established affinity for Celtic Football Club, rooted in their family's Irish heritage. The Oasis track Roll With It has evolved into an unofficial Celtic supporters' anthem, initially embraced by fans during the 1997 League Cup final. Noel Gallagher famously attended an Old Firm match in 2000 when Celtic defeated Rangers 6-2.
Earlier reporting from May 2026 suggested that discussions regarding Celtic Park remained in preliminary stages, with a source characterizing negotiations as "early" and noting that "nothing has been agreed yet," according to Music News. Liam Gallagher had previously hinted at the possibility of Oasis performing at Celtic Park in 2027, which explains why the latest teaser has attracted serious attention from the fanbase.
What venues are being discussed for 2027?
While Celtic Park has emerged as the primary focus of fan speculation, reports indicate that the cryptic video may also be hinting at additional 2027 performances. According to Radio X, the same teaser has generated discussion about potential dates at both Knebworth Park and Manchester's Etihad Stadium, extending speculation beyond Glasgow alone.
The teaser's accompanying caption featured an egg-timer emoji followed by an eyes symbol, which many observers interpret as suggesting that an official announcement may be forthcoming. However, the Daily Record reports that the band has not yet officially confirmed any 2027 dates.
Recent developments have added further momentum to speculation about expanded touring plans. In August 2026, SJM Concerts, the band's promoter, was granted a Knebworth events licence just days before the 30th anniversary of Oasis's legendary 1996 performances at that venue, fueling continued discussion about a potential return to the historic site.
When was Celtic Park last used for concerts?
Celtic Park has remained inactive as a concert venue for an extended period, with the final performance occurring in 1997 when Wet, Wet, Wet took the stage. The venue hosted numerous significant acts during the 1990s and early 2000s, including Rod Stewart, Status Quo, and Joe Cocker in 1991; Bryan Adams and Prince in 1992; U2 and Utah Saints in 1993; and Wet, Wet, Wet again in 1990. Rod Stewart returned to perform there in 2014 during the Opening Ceremony for the Commonwealth Games.
Over the past three decades, Glasgow's Hampden Park has become the city's primary concert stadium, hosting the majority of major musical events. A return to Celtic Park would therefore represent a significant development in the city's live music landscape.
What happens next?
Fans anticipate an official announcement may arrive in September 2026, though no specific date has been formally established. Some outlets suggest that any Celtic Park concerts could take place immediately following the conclusion of the Scottish football season in late May 2027. The band's next major context for date-related news is expected to be a rumored 2027 return, with speculation that a summer 2027 tour is being teased through these cryptic releases.
An announcement has been rumored to coincide with the release of Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger, a documentary chronicling the band's reunion tour, though no official confirmation has been provided regarding timing or venue details.
