Oasis has announced a new tour set for 2027, including a highly anticipated return to Knebworth House in Hertfordshire, 30 years after their landmark concerts there in 1996. The band’s forthcoming itinerary, named Oasis Live 27, will cover the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe, and the United States, kicking off in Glasgow on May 21 and concluding with four nights at Knebworth in September.
The 2027 tour follows Oasis’s widely acclaimed 2025 reunion tour, which marked their first performances together in 16 years and included 41 shows across multiple continents. Their return to mainland Europe will be the first since the reunion began, with Paris among the notable stops, carrying added significance given that the band originally disbanded shortly after their 2009 performance at the French capital’s Rock en Seine festival.
Oasis Live 27 will visit cities including Manchester, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Rome, Boston, Las Vegas, and Slane Castle, north of Dublin. Ticket prices in the UK will range from £71.50 to £266.60. For the 2027 tour, ticket sales will operate under stricter regulations introduced following fan complaints related to Ticketmaster’s handling of the 2025 tour. These changes require clearer advance disclosure of pricing structures, including tiered pricing details and ongoing updates as tickets sell out. Prospective buyers must register by 4 p.m. BST on September 17 to purchase tickets, a measure intended to reduce queue times and curb organised resale activity.
The band’s announcement followed a teaser involving a large drone display over Manchester’s Etihad Stadium and earlier hints on social media. Interest in their Knebworth return had been building since 2025, when Baroness Taylor of Stevenage inadvertently mentioned the possibility of five shows at the venue during a House of Lords session before clarifying she was speaking hypothetically. Further speculation arose in August when event organiser Simon Moran obtained a license for Knebworth accommodating up to 125,000 attendees per event. During their original 1996 performances, Oasis played to approximately 250,000 fans across two nights—an audience demand that reportedly represented over 4% of the UK population at the time.
The Knebworth shows remain a landmark in British music history, famously described by Noel Gallagher as “history” during their second night in 1996. The concerts were the focus of a 2021 documentary titled Oasis Knebworth 1996, which positioned them as a cultural apex for British live music, though some critics argued that nostalgia influences such assessments.
The band’s 2025 reunion coincided with renewed interest in Britpop nostalgia, inspiring new creative works and heightened music tourism. UK Music reported that concerts at Manchester’s Heaton Park last year contributed to a 16% year-on-year rise in music tourism spending in the North West of England, reaching £1.4 billion. Oasis’s influence also appeared to boost the UK’s ongoing vinyl revival.
There are reports that Oasis may headline the Glastonbury Festival in 2027 following the festival’s scheduled fallow year in 2026, underscoring their sustained prominence within the contemporary music landscape. A recent documentary on the reunion, Don’t Look Back in Anger, premiered at the Venice Film Festival and received positive reviews for its emotional portrayal of both the band and its fanbase. However, it made only a brief acknowledgment of past ticketing controversies.
Overall, Oasis Live 27 promises to be a major event for fans and the music industry alike, marking a celebrated return of one of Britain’s most influential bands to some of their most iconic stages.
