Oasis are returning to the stage in 2027, with Liam and Noel Gallagher confirming a second chapter of their reunion tour that will include four shows at the site of their legendary Knebworth concerts.
After weeks of cryptic social media posts and elaborate teasers, the band announced on Monday that they will embark on a 38-date tour next summer, beginning in Glasgow in May before heading to Manchester, mainland Europe, the United States and Ireland.
The tour will culminate with four performances at Knebworth House in Hertfordshire in September, nearly three decades after Oasis played two historic shows there in 1996.
The band will perform five nights at Glasgow’s Celtic Park in May and then return to Manchester for an 11-night residency at the Etihad Stadium in June, the home of Manchester City, the football club supported by the Gallagher brothers.
Oasis revealed the dates alongside a new trailer and a photograph of Liam and Noel. A message posted to the band’s social media channels described their return in typically tongue-in-cheek fashion, declaring that the group had once again deemed itself “fit for purpose.”
The band will also play two dates at Slane Castle in County Meath, Ireland, in September, following European shows in July and stadium dates in the United States in August.
Ticket prices and registration
The new tour follows Oasis’s hugely successful 2025 reunion, which reportedly generated around £300 million at the box office.
This time, the band has introduced a new ticket-registration system designed to avoid the problems that overshadowed the original comeback.
Registration opened on Monday through the band’s website and will close at 4 p.m. BST on Thursday, Sept. 17. Tickets for the UK shows will then be released across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 25-27.
Oasis says standard ticket prices will be fixed, ranging from £71.50 to £266.60.
Richard Ashcroft, the former Verve frontman, will once again serve as the support act throughout the tour.
The announcement follows months of speculation about a second leg of the reunion. Noel Gallagher had hinted at the possibility earlier in the year, joking that with no major football tournament taking place next summer, the band would need something else to do.
The group subsequently intensified the speculation with a series of cryptic videos, while drone displays and posters appeared in Manchester, Rome and Paris.
A return to Oasis’s Manchester roots
The Gallagher brothers have a long association with Manchester City and previously performed together at the Etihad in 2005.
Almost a decade earlier, Oasis had played two celebrated shows at Maine Road, the club’s former home. Footage from those performances was later released as the concert film There and Then.
The band’s connection with Knebworth is even more significant.
In August 1996, Oasis performed in front of around 250,000 people across two nights at Knebworth House. The concerts became one of the defining moments of the Britpop era, with more than four percent of the UK population reportedly applying for tickets.
The lineup included The Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers, The Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers.
Looking back at the concerts during the premiere of a Knebworth documentary in 2021, Noel Gallagher said Oasis had approached the shows without fear because of how quickly the band had risen. He suggested they would be far more nervous if they attempted the same thing today.
The 2027 concerts could also set a new attendance record at the venue. Oasis’s two-night run in 1996 was surpassed in 2003 by Robbie Williams, who attracted 375,000 people over three consecutive nights.
From ticket chaos to a successful reunion
Oasis’s 2025 comeback was almost overshadowed by the controversy surrounding ticket sales.
Fans were forced to wait in online queues for hours, while some discovered that ticket prices had risen dramatically. The backlash eventually prompted an investigation by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority.
Ticketmaster subsequently agreed to a series of voluntary changes, including providing clearer information about ticket prices and notifying customers in advance when tiered pricing would be used.
Despite the turbulent beginning, the reunion itself was widely regarded as a success.
The band received strong reviews throughout the tour, with the BBC saying Oasis had rarely sounded as good since their 1990s heyday.
Noel later said the brothers and their bandmates had been “blown away” by the reaction to their return after 16 years apart.
A new documentary about the reunion, featuring the first joint interview with Liam and Noel since their bitter split in 2009, was released in UK cinemas last week after premiering at the Venice Film Festival.
In the film, Noel said the relationship between the brothers was no longer defined by a power struggle.
Asked about a second tour following Monday’s announcement, he said the decision had been an easy one because the band had been enjoying the experience so much.
There will be no new Oasis music accompanying the 2027 shows, however.
Knebworth set for another chapter
Interest in Oasis has remained high beyond the reunion tour. Their second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, recently surpassed an album by The Beatles to become the UK’s most popular album of all time according to a recent ranking.
“Wonderwall,” one of the album’s best-known tracks, has also enjoyed renewed attention after becoming an unofficial anthem for England supporters during the summer’s World Cup.
Rumours of another Knebworth performance had circulated for months, particularly after the venue was linked to the band’s plans for 2025. Earlier this year, it emerged that Oasis’s promoters had applied for an events licence covering the proposed concerts.
The Hertfordshire venue has hosted some of the biggest names in music, including Led Zeppelin, Queen, Paul McCartney and Metallica. Liam Gallagher also performed there as a solo artist in 2022.
Now Oasis will return to the site where they once symbolised the peak of Britpop.
Nearly 30 years after their original Knebworth shows, the Gallagher brothers are preparing to do it all over again.
