Oasis Live 27 Rumours Heat Up

Oasis speculation is gathering pace again after Noel Gallagher dropped his biggest hint yet that the band could return to the road in 2027 – before the band’s official social media accounts added a cryptic teaser of their own.

Speaking to talkSPORT on Wednesday (September 2), Gallagher had primarily appeared to discuss Manchester City’s start to the new football season with presenters Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent.

Towards the end of the interview, however, Goldstein asked him directly about the growing rumours of more Oasis shows next summer.

“It’s Liam, isn’t it?” Noel joked. “He’s not into it. He’s not into Oasis anymore.”
When Goldstein pointed out that Liam Gallagher had recently announced he was leaving social media, Noel replied: “Well, then there must be something happening.”

Then came the line that will inevitably send Oasis fans into overdrive.
“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?”

Watch the interview below.

That might have been enough to keep the rumour mill going. Then Oasis themselves got involved.

On Thursday (September 3), the band’s official social media channels shared a short and deliberately cryptic video packed with references for fans to pull apart.

Two young lads who appear to be brothers feature prominently. The younger wears a top reminiscent of Liam Gallagher’s famous Umbro drill top from Oasis’ Maine Road shows, while the older wears a red jacket that looks strikingly similar to Noel’s from the same era.

At first glance, it looks like a straightforward nod to one of the defining moments of Oasis’ original run. There could be another interpretation, though.

Maine Road was Manchester City’s home when Oasis played their legendary shows there in April 1996. City left the ground in 2003 for the City of Manchester Stadium, which later became the Etihad Stadium – the same venue currently at the centre of reports that Oasis could play an extraordinary 12-night Manchester residency in 2027.

If the outfits are deliberately pointing towards Maine Road, could they also be leading us from City’s old home to its current one?

That would certainly fit the rumours. And that is only the beginning of the video.

‘Little By Little’ can be heard playing from a television in the background. The song was released as a double A-side with ‘She Is Love’ on September 23, 2002.

The teaser lasts exactly 23 seconds.
Coincidence? Entirely possible. But with Oasis apparently inviting this level of scrutiny, fans will inevitably wonder whether September 23 is a date worth circling.

Then there is Glasgow.

Fans on X have pointed towards numbers visible during the video, which they claim correspond to the latitude and longitude of Celtic Park. Again, Oasis have not confirmed that the numbers are intended as coordinates, but the theory becomes considerably more intriguing when one of the lads opens the fridge and takes out a can of IRN-BRU.

If you were trying to hide a clue pointing towards Scotland in plain sight, you could do considerably worse.

Celtic Park has already been linked with a possible Oasis return, so the combination of the apparent coordinates and one of Scotland’s most recognisable drinks has understandably sent fans down another rabbit hole.
Glasgow might not be the only city hidden in the video either.

One of the posters in the background reads “SOL FM”.
On its own, that could mean absolutely anything. In the context of a video already being investigated for potential stadium clues, however, SOL immediately raises another possibility: the Stadium of Light in Sunderland.

There is no confirmation whatsoever that this is what the poster means, but if the Celtic Park and Etihad theories are also deliberate, “SOL FM” suddenly becomes considerably harder to overlook.

Put everything together and the video starts to look less like a random collection of Oasis references and more like a potential puzzle.
The Maine Road-inspired clothes could point from Manchester City’s old home towards the Etihad Stadium.

The numbers and IRN-BRU could point towards Celtic Park.
“SOL FM” could point towards Sunderland’s Stadium of Light.
And ‘Little By Little’ playing inside a 23-second video could potentially be telling us when we might hear more.

None of those interpretations have been confirmed by Oasis, and some – or all – could turn out to be fans finding patterns because they desperately want there to be patterns.
But that is an awful lot to squeeze into 23 seconds by accident.
Watch the teaser and make your own mind up.

Adding to the intrigue, Oasis’ X bio currently tells fans to “Sign up for Oasis news”, alongside a link to the band’s mailing list.

Nothing has officially been announced, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to believe all of this activity is happening without something coming next.

Rumours surrounding Oasis in 2027 have been building for months. Reports have suggested a huge UK and European tour, including a potential 12-night residency at the Etihad Stadium and a return to Knebworth, while mainland Europe would surely be high on the list after missing out on the Live ’25 reunion tour.
Now, potentially, Celtic Park and the Stadium of Light have entered the conversation too.

The question might no longer be simply whether Oasis are going to tour in 2027.
It might be how much of the tour they have already hidden in a 23-second video.
There is just one request if we really are getting Live ’27: can we have some better support acts this time, please lads?

British and Irish guitar music is going through an extraordinary period, and the Gallagher brothers have a goldmine of world-class talent to choose from.
Imagine Fontaines D.C., Wunderhorse, Wolf Alice or Blossoms warming up an Oasis crowd. Go bigger and there are Florence + the Machine, Gerry Cinnamon, Courteeners and Sam Fender. Even Arctic Monkeys would surely find that phone call difficult to dismiss if Oasis decided to turn one of these nights into a genuine event.

Or use some of the slots to give the next generation an enormous stage. The Royston Club, Westside Cowboy and Keo are among a wave of brilliant young guitar bands building increasingly passionate audiences. Putting artists like that in front of tens of thousands of Oasis fans would help introduce them to another generation and provide a fairly convincing response to anybody still lazily declaring guitar music dead.

Cast played their part in Live ’25 and obviously have decades of history with Oasis, but surely another tour does not need to become another exercise in recreating a 1990s festival bill.

One of the most exciting things about Oasis returning was discovering how many young people had fallen in love with the band – and guitar music more generally – during the years when Noel and Liam were apart.

If Oasis really are planning another enormous summer, their support slots offer the perfect opportunity to connect that history with what is happening now.

Noel says they have “got to do something in the summer”.
Judging by the clues Oasis are dropping, they might already be telling us where
