Start the Celebrations: Oasis Announce Live' 27 World Tour
Oasis has announced details of their Live '27 tour; check out more information below.
Rumours have long swirled about the Gallaghers returning to the road in 2027, with reports suggesting they'd play in Manchester and head into Europe.
With a teaser confirmed last week, today marked the announcement.
38 shows kick off next May and will see the play in Scotland, England, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, France, Italy, the US, and Ireland.
“START THE CELEBRATIONS!!!!,” the band shared in a statement. “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."
Oasis added: “Come witness the fitness. It shall be a sight to behold.”
Aside from the homecoming shows in Manchester, the Live ’27 tour will take Oasis to an almost entirely different set of locations from the 2025 run. They will open with five nights at Glasgow’s Celtic Park from 21 May before playing a mammoth eleven shows at the Etihad Stadium and heading across Europe for multiple-night stops in Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Rome and Paris. The latter carries particular significance, of course, as the city where Oasis infamously split in 2009.
The tour will then finish back on familiar ground, with Oasis returning to the site of their legendary 1990s shows at Slane Castle and Knebworth, where they will play four nights. Richard Ashcroft will support the band throughout the tour, although I would be surprised if they didn't add further support acts, particularly for the Knebworth dates.
Following the controversy surrounding lengthy online queues and dynamic pricing during the original Live ’25 sale, Oasis will once again use the registration system introduced for their final Wembley dates. Fans must register for the opportunity to purchase tickets before 4pm BST / 5pm CEST / 8am PT / 11am ET on Thursday 17 September.
Those successful in the ballot will receive a unique, non-transferable code giving them access to a specific on-sale window. In the UK, tickets will be released across Friday 25, Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September, with three separate on-sale windows taking place each day.
For now, there are no dates in Asia, Australia or South America, all regions Oasis visited during the Live ’25 tour. Whether further shows are still to come remains to be seen.
Eagle-eyed fans have also noticed one particularly interesting gap in the schedule. The Manchester residency leaves Oasis free on Sunday 27 June, which just happens to be the closing night of Glastonbury.
Speaking to talkSPORT shortly after the announcement, Noel Gallagher revealed that the decision to extend the reunion into 2027 was made surprisingly early in the Live ’25 tour.
"We decided to tour again after the second Wembley show,” he said. “Nobody really knew what was going to happen or how it was going to go. So we did Cardiff and Manchester, then by the time we got to Wembley, somebody said, ‘Well, you know?’ and it was decided we were going to do it.”
“It was all set in motion then,” Noel added. Oasis had always intended to return to countries including Italy, France, Germany and Spain, where he said the fans had “been great with us throughout the years”, but the decision to add another run of UK dates only came once the reunion was underway.
The newly announced US shows also revisit unfinished business from Live ’25. Noel explained that the two cities included on the 2027 itinerary were places Oasis had been “meant to do last time, but couldn’t for some reason”.
From there, the idea of another full tour began to grow. With the band enjoying themselves and the reunion having exceeded their expectations, Noel said the conversation eventually became: “What about Knebworth?”
As he put it, they were “having such a great time, that why wouldn’t we?”
One thing fans should not expect from the reunion, however, is a new Oasis album. Asked whether the band had been working on any new music together, potentially their first since 2008’s ‘Dig Out Your Soul’, Noel shut down the possibility immediately.
“There won’t be any new music,” he said.
It echoes comments Liam made earlier in the summer, when he suggested that the pressure of trying to make new Oasis material live up to decades of expectation made the prospect more daunting than appealing. For now, Live ’27 appears to be about extending the reunion rather than beginning another chapter in the studio.
