What Oasis’s Teased 2027 Tour Announcement Means for Dates, Tickets, and Reunion Plans
Readers will learn what Oasis has confirmed about a 2027 tour, which cities and venues are reportedly in play, and why the next announcement carries added weight after the record-breaking Live '25 reunion.
A Message Written in Drones
Oasis announced that it has something to announce. A drone display over Manchester, the band’s home city, showed the Oasis logo followed by a date and time: 14.09.26 at 4pm BST. BBC News reported that no tour dates or venues had been formally confirmed before that display. The message itself did not reveal the tour. It set a moment for the next phase of a reunion that began with last year’s Oasis Live '25 concerts, the first time Noel and Liam Gallagher had shared a stage since the band split in 2009.
What the Rumours Actually Point To
Specific 2027 dates are still unconfirmed. So are ticket details, which cannot go on sale until venues and dates exist. But reporting from NME and The Independent points to a wide-ranging plan. The most detailed rumour is a 12-night homecoming residency in Manchester, potentially at the Etihad Stadium. BBC News also named Celtic Park and Knebworth among locations the band had hinted at. NME reported that recent teasers for Glasgow, Paris, Amsterdam, Boston and Rome had been released, and that a football-themed clue pointed to the Etihad.
Knebworth carries particular weight. Oasis played to 250,000 people there in 1996, and the band’s promoter, SJM, has reportedly been granted a licence to host concerts at the site again.
The Money Behind the Reunion
The commercial stakes help explain why the new announcement matters beyond the usual reunion buzz. The Independent reported that tickets for the Live '25 shows sold out in minutes. Forbes estimated the tour generated more than $400m (£293m) in revenue, with Noel and Liam Gallagher each earning between $50m and $100m. Those numbers made a follow-up run look likely before the first tour had even finished. The reunion itself was built on a rare truce: The Independent noted that the brothers had ended a long-running feud 15 years after Oasis split in 2009.
What Happens Next
The full shape of the 2027 tour remains unknown. The reports describe an announcement that could cover a Manchester residency, a wider UK run, European shows and a possible North American leg. A new documentary film, Don’t Look Back In Anger, arrived in cinemas around the same time, adding to the sense that the band is working through a deliberate sequence of releases. What is certain is that Oasis chose a sky over Manchester, rather than a standard press release, as the way to begin this chapter. After a reunion that proved both commercially massive and emotionally significant, the drone display was a clear signal: the Gallaghers are not finished with Oasis yet.
