Oasis<\/a> are rumoured to be gearing up for a huge UK and European tour, which could include an impressive 12-night homecoming residency in Manchester and a return to Knebworth.<\/p>\n

The reports of a residency in their hometown arose in the Manchester Evening News,<\/a> claiming that the band were booking out the Etihad Stadium \u2013 home of Liam<\/a> and Noel Gallagher\u2019s<\/a> beloved Manchester City FC.<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of sources\u201d close to the club reportedly shared that 12 shows planned for the stadium. Since it reopened for gigs earlier this summer, the Etihad has welcomed huge live shows from The Weeknd<\/a> and Take That.<\/a><\/p>\n

If residency shows are confirmed, tickets are likely to come on sale this summer. It also seems likely that dates would take place in May and June, as Man City\u2019s fixture list for 2026\/2027 means that their last home game is on Saturday May 23.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be 12 nights at the Etihad Stadium across May and June. It\u2019s just massive for Manchester and for the local economy,\u201d a source told the outlet, also hinting at live shows at Knebworth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey could even add more dates to that as well there\u2019s talk of up to 20. The wider tour is also going to include a return to Knebworth,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

This year marks 30 years since Oasis first played their legendary 1996 Knebworth gigs in Hertfordshire, which sold out in under 24 hours and saw them welcome 250,000 fans across two nights. There were reportedly 2.6million people scrambling to get tickets for those 1996 shows \u2013 the equivalent of 5 per cent of the entire UK population \u2013 and the demand was so high that they could have sold out 20 nights at the venue.<\/p>\n

The band later released a live album from the shows and later celebrated the 25th anniversary with a feature-length documentary<\/a>, which went on to become the country\u2019s highest-grossing documentary film of 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Liam later played two solo shows there in 2022<\/a>, which drew in approximately 170,000 fans over two nights.<\/p>\n

There have been rumours of a return to Knebworth circulating since 2025, when British peer, Lady Taylor of Stevenage, stood up in the House of Lords\u2019 upper house last October and claimed that Oasis were playing five, back-to-back anniversary gigs there in 2026<\/a>. She would later backtrack on the comments.<\/p>\n

Manchester Evening News also highlights that Manchester\u2019s Parklife festival<\/a> has been rescheduled \u2013 now taking place on July 10 and 11 as opposed to its usual June scheduling \u2013 leading to rumours that it could have been changed to avoid a clash with any Oasis shows planned for June.<\/p>\n

The latest rumours of a 2027 tour come exactly one year after Oasis kicked off their mammoth \u2018Live \u201825\u2019 tour in Cardiff last July<\/a>, and other outlets including Dublin Live<\/a> have sparked rumours that Oasis may also be returning to Slane Castle next year.<\/p>\n

Liam and Noel Gallagher played two shows at Croke Park in Dublin last year, but are now reportedly considering heading back to Slane Castle in 2027 \u2013 following a support slot with R.E.M<\/a> there in 1995, and an unforgettable headline slot in 2009.<\/p>\n

Ladbrokes have put 2\/1 odds on the Manchester icons announcing live dates at Slane Castle, and there are also the same odds on them being announced as headliners for Glastonbury 2027<\/a>, as it returns next summer after a fallow year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While nothing has been officially confirmed regarding more tour dates, Oasis did celebrate one year since the \u2018Live \u201825\u2019 tour kicked off over the weekend by dropping the first trailer for their \u201clandmark\u201d new Steven Knight-directed documentary<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Look Back In Anger will be released in cinemas and on IMAX on September 11<\/a>, before becoming available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu around the world at a later date in 2026. The latest clip shows Liam and Noel backstage, promising that the reunion shows were \u201cgoing to be chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the \u2018Live \u201825\u2019 shows wrapped up in November<\/a>, Oasis have been steadily teasing more live dates on the way. Back in December, for example, Liam appeared to confirm that the band would not be touring again until 2027 at the earliest<\/a>, sharing on X: \u201cWe\u2019re not doing anything in 2026 sorry\u201d.<\/p>\n

He later continued to get fans\u2019 hopes up on social media<\/a> by writing: \u201cI don\u2019t [have] snizzle to do until 2027, I mean happy Christmas\u201d, and \u201cBring on 2027\u2026 I mean 2026\u201d.<\/p>\n

Shortly before then, the frontman also implied that more live dates could be on the way<\/a>. When asked if he was feeling \u201csad that the tour is ending soon\u201d, Liam cheekily wrote back: \u201cI\u2019m not actually, as I know things you don\u2019t know\u201d.<\/p>\n

He has continued to fan the flames well into 2026 as well, and suggested that a full European tour could be on the way by telling a fan that Oasis would \u201cwithout a doubt. 100 per cent\u201d be playing live in Rome in 2027<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NME gave the opening night of Live \u201925 in Cardiff a glowing five-star review<\/a>. \u201cAfter a \u201890s heyday and an often maligned post-millennium era, this is Oasis redesigned for the 21st Century,\u201d it read. \u201cPlaying before a pop-art-meets-psychedelia visual spectacular that never distracts but will look sick on a phone, they seem the quintessential stadium band playing the greatest hits of greatest hits.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Britpop icons have been making headlines thanks to the ongoing FIFA World Cup too, with the England team and their fans coming together after victories against Croatia, Ghana, Mexico and more to sing along to \u2018Wonderwall\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Noel threw his support behind the classic track becoming England\u2019s 2026 World Cup anthem<\/a>, saying the song \u201cbelongs to the people\u201d, and also said that he \u201ccouldn\u2019t believe\u201d that all the team knew the lyrics.<\/a><\/p>\n

Liam also reacted to the news that the tune had seen a 50 per cent spike in streams on Spotify in the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

England secured a 3-2 victory against Mexico in the early hours of this morning (Monday July 6), and are now set to go head to head with Norway on Saturday night (July 11).<\/p>\n
