Oasis announce their ‘Live ’27’ tour, 38 shows across the UK, Europe and US, capped by a return to Knebworth
The masterplan, it turns out, was never finished. On Monday, September 14, Oasis confirmed a second reunion tour, dubbed Oasis Live ’27, a 38-date global run across the UK, Europe, and the United States that begins in May and culminates in a long-awaited return to Knebworth. After months of cryptic teasing, coordinate-laden social posts and Noel Gallagher‘s not-so-subtle interview hints, the Gallagher brothers have made it official: the biggest reunion in modern British rock is not a one-off.
The scale is staggering. The trek opens with five nights at Glasgow’s Celtic Park in May, then rolls into an eye-watering 11-night stand at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium, home of the brothers’ beloved Manchester City. From there it hits Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, and Rome before crossing the Atlantic for three nights each at Boston’s Gillette Stadium and Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. The run closes in September with shows at Ireland’s Slane Castle and a finale at Knebworth, with Richard Ashcroft opening every date.
The Weight of Knebworth
No venue on the itinerary carries more mythology than the last one. Oasis famously played Knebworth in 1996, drawing 250,000 people across two nights at the absolute peak of their Britpop dominance, a moment so definitive that the 2016 documentary Supersonic ended there, all but arguing the band should have quit while they were gods. Returning to that field in 2027 is a deliberate act of myth-making, closing a loop the Gallaghers have spent three decades circling.
The announcement notes that, with the exception of the Manchester homecoming, Live ’27 will visit an entirely new set of locations from the 2025 reunion run. That earlier tour, Live ’25, ended a 16-year feud between Liam and Noel and became a cultural juggernaut, kicking off in Cardiff in July 2025 before sweeping through the UK, Europe, North America, Asia, Australia, and South America. Boston and Las Vegas, notably, are fresh US markets the band skipped the first time around.
A Reunion That Refuses to End
Oasis being Oasis, the statement announcing the tour was pure swagger. “START THE CELEBRATIONS!!!!” the band declared. “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.” The accompanying trailer mixed heyday footage with reunion clips before “Morning Glory” kicked in and the dates dropped.
The timing is shrewd. The announcement lands days after Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, the documentary chronicling the 2025 reunion, hit theaters on September 11, directed by Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern and produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. The film, headed to Disney+ and Hulu later this year, has kept Gallaghermania at full boil at exactly the moment the band needed demand primed for a second lap.
Ticketing reflects lessons learned. There will be no general on-sale and no public presales. Fans must register in advance through the band’s website by Thursday, September 17, with successful registrants receiving a unique, non-transferable code for an assigned sales window. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 25, with times varying by city, and standard prices reportedly running between $122.65 and $541.05 including fees. The registration-only system is a direct response to the dynamic-pricing chaos that dogged the 2025 sale.
Whether Live ’27 marks a true new chapter or simply a victory lap before the brothers inevitably test their patience with each other again, the demand is not in question. Oasis have proven that their reunion was not nostalgia but a genuine cultural event, one capable of filling stadiums across three continents. As Noel once put it when asked why they were touring again, there was no football tournament next summer, so they had to do something. For millions of fans, that something just became the hottest ticket of 2027. The celebrations, as promised, have started.
