One of Britain’s most iconic rock bands, Oasis, is returning to the stage for Oasis Live ‘27, a follow-up to their 2025 tour. The tour will take the band across the United Kingdom, Ireland, and North America, creating high anticipation amongst fans.
The tour will stay mainly within Europe, with two cities and six shows reaching North America. The tour is set to begin in Glasgow on May 21, before moving to Manchester and several major European cities, including Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, and Rome. In August, Oasis will travel to North America, performing in Boston on Aug. 10, 13, and 14, followed by three shows in Las Vegas on Aug. 20, 21, and 24.
The tour will conclude in September, with two performances at Slane Castle in Ireland and six nights at Knebworth House in England. These Knebworth shows are predicted to set a new record for the most consecutive performances at the venue, breaking the previous record of three consecutive nights, which was set by Robbie Williams in 2003, who had an attendance of over 375,000 fans.
The band announced their tour following the release of Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, a documentary exploring the brothers’ reconciliation and the process behind the tour. The film examines themes of the brothers’ family relationships, forgiveness, and the impact they believe their band has had on a generation of fans. For longtime listeners, the reunion represents the return of a band that defined an era of British rock, while younger audiences now have the opportunity to experience live performances by Oasis.
However, Oasis’ second tour since they got back together in 2024 has not come without controversy. Lead singer Liam Gallagher has reportedly criticized Fontaines D.C., posting on X that the Irish rock band is “not good enough” and "don't have any tunes" to open for Oasis on the upcoming tour, according to Paste Magazine. Instead, Richard Ashcroft, former frontman of The Verve, is set to return as an opening act, bringing another familiar name from British rock history to the lineup.
Oasis introduced a new ticket-distribution strategy intended to address problems — such as bots and dynamic pricing — that frustrated concertgoers in 2024 and 2025. Fans were invited to register for presale access codes on the day of the tour announcement, approximately a week before the codes were scheduled to be distributed. Randomly selected fans then received codes, allowing them to purchase presale tickets.
The registration process also tested people’s knowledge of the band, adding security for “real fans” to get priority, by asking which Oasis album was released in 1995. This question reportedly sparked a surge in Google searches related to the topic.
Despite the excitement for Oasis Live ‘27, there has also been speculation that Oasis’ touring phase is coming to an end. Liam Gallagher has hinted that this may be the last tour ever for the band, and Noel Gallagher has dismissed the idea of Oasis producing any new music, according to Billboard Canada. Although additional concerts have already been added to the schedule, further dates have not been confirmed, leaving fans uncertain about whether more opportunities to see the band will become available.
