Oasis 2027 tour confirmation expected imminently
Oasis’s own promoter SJM Concerts has secured an indefinite licence to hold events at Knebworth House for crowds of up to 125,000 - granted by North Hertfordshire Council on 6 August 2026, days before the 30th anniversary of the band’s 1996 shows at the same site.
Separately, a source close to the band told the Manchester Evening News that a residency of 12 nights at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium is planned across May and June 2027 - with the possibility of it being extended to as many as 20. The wider 2027 tour is reported to include a return to Knebworth.
No official announcement has been made by the band or their management, and no venue has published a date. But with SJM Concerts - Oasis’s own promoter - now holding the Knebworth licence, a full tour announcement including ticket prices is widely considered imminent.

Oasis 2027 tour - latest news and updates
Updated
The band still have not announced anything. But this stopped being a purely circumstantial story on 6 August 2026, when it emerged that Oasis’s own promoter now holds a licence to put 125,000 people into Knebworth Park.
The Knebworth licence, and why it changes things
North Hertfordshire Council has granted SJM Concerts a premises licence at Knebworth House. It permits events for crowds of up to 125,000 people, and it remains in place indefinitely. SJM are not a neutral party here: they are the promoter behind the 2025 Oasis reunion tour. A promoter securing a licence is not the same thing as a band announcing a show - venues and promoters hold licences for all sorts of reasons, and no artist is named on a premises licence. But it is the first hard, on-the-record document in a story that until now ran entirely on unnamed sources, and it landed days before the 30th anniversary of the 1996 shows.
Where things stand in August 2026
In early July, Manchester Evening News sources reported a 12-night homecoming residency at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium across May and June 2027, with talks of extending it to as many as 20 nights, plus a return to Knebworth as part of a wider tour. That reporting has since been restated by a source close to the band, and the Knebworth strand of it now has a licence sitting underneath it. What is still missing is the only thing that would settle it: a word from Oasis, their management or SJM themselves.
The Parklife move, and what it might signal
Manchester’s Parklife festival has shifted its 2027 dates into July, the first time in the festival’s history it has moved out of its traditional June slot. Fans read this as clearing the way for a run of Oasis shows at the Etihad in June. It is worth being careful here: neither Parklife nor the band has given a reason, and festivals move dates for plenty of ordinary commercial reasons. It is a signal, not evidence.
The Manchester hotel booking
The Manchester Evening News also reported that a luxury city centre hotel had been booked out in its entirety from the end of May through June 2027, for what sources described as the band and their touring entourage. Of all the circumstantial details, this is the one that most resembles the logistical footprint of a real residency - a block booking of that length is expensive and specific. It remains an unnamed hotel and an unnamed source.
What Liam Gallagher has actually said
Liam has been the most consistent public signal throughout 2026, without ever confirming anything. He ruled out this year outright - “We’re not doing anything in 2026, sorry” - which pointed everyone at 2027. Asked about Rome, he told Italian fans “without a doubt, 100 per cent”. And when the 12-night Etihad figure was reported, he replied to a fan on X with “12 I thought it was 10 ffs”, which reads as a man correcting a detail of something real rather than dismissing a fantasy.
Knebworth, 31 years on - and the denial
A 2027 Knebworth return would fall almost exactly 31 years after the two 1996 nights that still define the band: 250,000 people across two shows, with a reported 2.6 million chasing tickets. That anniversary is why the rumour carries the weight it does - and the new licence is sized for exactly that kind of event, at 125,000 people per show.
The honest complication is that Liam posted “ITS NOT HAPPENING” about Knebworth in December 2025. We are not going to pretend that post does not exist, because plenty of pages covering this have quietly dropped it. What can be said is that the denial predates the current reporting by eight months and the licence by longer still, and that the party which has since gone and secured the site is the band’s own promoter. Both things remain on the record. Only one of them has a council document behind it.
When will we know?
Nobody outside the band and its promoters knows. Reporting pointed at a summer or early autumn 2026 announcement; that window is still open, and with SJM now holding the Knebworth licence an announcement is widely considered imminent. We are tracking this page against the reporting and will update it the moment anything is officially confirmed - the date at the top of this section tells you when it was last checked. If you would rather be told than keep checking, the waitlist below is free and commits you to nothing.

What we know
Is the Oasis 2027 tour confirmed?
Not officially - not as of 13 August 2026. The band have announced nothing. What changed on 6 August 2026 is that Oasis promoter SJM Concerts now holds a Knebworth licence for crowds of up to 125,000 - a matter of public record rather than an unnamed source. Everything is below, attributed to whoever reported or recorded it.

Where will Oasis play in 2027?
Two venues dominate the reporting - the Etihad Stadium and Knebworth - with several others named in passing. Knebworth now has a licence held by the band’s own promoter. Neither has been announced by Oasis.

On the record
North Hertfordshire Council has granted SJM Concerts - the promoter behind the 2025 Oasis reunion tour - a premises licence at Knebworth House. It permits concerts for crowds of up to 125,000 people and remains in place indefinitely. It was reported on 6 August 2026, days before the 30th anniversary of the 1996 shows: 250,000 people across two nights, with a reported 2.6 million chasing tickets. Separately, the Manchester Evening News source reporting the Etihad residency says the wider 2027 tour includes a Knebworth return.
North Hertfordshire Council licensing record; Manchester Evening NewsWhat it still isn’t
A premises licence names a site, not an artist. Neither Oasis nor SJM has announced a Knebworth show, and Liam Gallagher posted “ITS NOT HAPPENING” about Knebworth in December 2025. That denial now sits against a licence secured by the band’s own promoter, which is why we have moved this page to “highly likely” rather than “confirmed” - and why we will not print a date until somebody official does.

Oasis 2027 tickets - when do they go on sale?
No on-sale date exists. What the 2025 pattern suggests.
No official Oasis 2027 ticket sale date has been announced. The 2025 reunion generated a reported 14 million ticket requests for around 1.4 million tickets across its first 17 UK and Ireland shows - the biggest on-sale in Ticketmaster’s history, and one of the most in-demand releases in British music. On that pattern, where tickets followed roughly three weeks after the announcement, a sale would be expected shortly after official dates are confirmed. DN Global will offer VIP hospitality alongside the general release if and when allocation is available. Register your interest below to hear first.
For context, not prediction
The 2025 “Live ’25” reunion tour reportedly sold 2.23m tickets across 41 shows for a reported $405m gross, with standard ticket prices ranging £73–£206 (before dynamic-pricing effects). We share this only as reference - it is not a forecast of any 2027 pricing, and we never display prices on this site.
No official announcement has been made by Oasis or their management as of 13 August 2026. The Knebworth premises licence held by SJM Concerts is a public record from North Hertfordshire Council; the Etihad residency and the wider tour remain reporting, drawn from the Manchester Evening News, NME, Time Out and other major outlets citing sources close to the band. DN Global will notify registered interest holders the moment a tour is officially announced.
The band’s promoter has the Knebworth licence. An announcement is widely considered imminent.

Why these two venues
Why Knebworth and the Etihad keep coming up.
Knebworth - the band’s defining night
In August 1996, Oasis played two nights at Knebworth Park to a quarter of a million people, with a reported 2.6 million chasing tickets - still one of the most storied concerts in British music. A 2027 return would land almost exactly 31 years on, which is precisely why the rumour resonates so strongly with fans and why reporters keep circling back to it. It is also now the venue their promoter has licensed, for crowds of up to 125,000 a night. That emotional weight is real, and the licence is real; the 2027 shows themselves have still not been announced.
The Etihad - Manchester, and the Gallaghers’ club
Noel and Liam Gallagher’s support for Manchester City is long-standing and well documented, and the Etihad sits in the band’s home city - so a hometown stadium residency is an easy story to believe. The circumstantial pieces reporters point to (the completed North Stand works, City’s reported final home date, Parklife shifting its 2027 dates) are why the Etihad, specifically, keeps appearing in genuine reporting rather than idle speculation. It remains reporting, not confirmation.
