Well … we didn’t Oasis have finally confirmed new tour dates for 2027, including their long-rumoured return to Knebworth for a run of shows 30 years after they played a historic two nights at the Hertfordshire venue in 1996. “Start the celebrations!”, the band said in a statement. “After a period of reflection, The Most Damaging Pop Cultural Force in Recent British History” – a quote from a Guardian opinion piece about the band – “has declared itself fit for purpose and will once again return to lift the spirits of the people. It shall be a sight to behold.” Titled Oasis Live 27, the dates encompass the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe and the US, beginning in Glasgow on 21 May, and touring through Manchester, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston, Las Vegas and Slane Castle (north of Dublin), ending with four nights at Knebworth in September. The band had teased the news in a massive drone display above Manchester’s Etihad stadium last week, after hinting at the dates on Instagram. The tour follows Oasis’s acclaimed 2025 reunion, which saw them play 41 dates spanning the UK, Europe, North and South America, east Asia and Australia, 16 years after they split in 2009. “You struggle to think of another artist that’s received such a vociferous reception,” wrote Guardian critic Alexis Petridis in a five-star review of the first night of the tour in Cardiff. The 2027 tour will be Oasis’s first visit to mainland Europe since their reunion and adds US cities they didn’t visit during that run. Their return to Paris will be particularly poignant, given it was shortly before a 2009 set at the city’s Rock en Seine festival that the band first split up. In the UK, tickets will cost between £71.50 and £266.60. Those hoping to buy them will have a happier experience than those in the same position last year: all pricing information for Oasis Live 27 has been shared in advance after action , including ending “misleading” information about seats, after fan backlash over its handling of the 2025 tour.
