Oasis have announced a new 38-date world tour for 2027, with stops across Britain, Ireland, continental Europe and the United States. The British band, which defined the Britpop era of the 1990s, confirmed the run of shows on Monday.
Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, who spent years locked in open conflict, will return to the stage for a tour that begins in May and runs through September.
Fixed prices to avoid a repeat of 2025's chaos
The new tour comes after Oasis's explosive 2025 reunion, which triggered enormous demand for tickets, queues lasting hours and sharp anger over sudden price increases. This time, organizers are trying to avoid another fight over tickets.
Fans will be able to register in advance to secure access to a specific purchase window, and prices for standard tickets will be fixed rather than fluctuating. Organizers said prices will range from £71.50 to £266.60, or roughly $96.50 up to the top of that ticket category.
The change follows the difficulties of 2025, when thousands of fans waited for hours in online queues only to find, once they finally reached the front, that prices had risen sharply in the meantime.
'Start the celebrations'
In typical style, Oasis accompanied the tour announcement with a short message to fans. The band said it was time to start the celebrations, adding that it would return to lift the world's spirits again.
The band also urged fans to come and see its form, promising a spectacle worth seeing.
Five nights in Glasgow, eleven in Manchester
The tour will open in May with five concerts in Glasgow. Oasis will then return to Manchester, the city where the band was formed and where the phenomenon that reshaped British music in the 1990s began.
The band will play 11 shows at Manchester's Etihad Stadium, one of the biggest legs of the new tour.
The schedule also includes concerts in Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston, Las Vegas and Slane Castle in Ireland. The tour will close in September with four concerts at Knebworth in southern England.
Back to Knebworth, 31 years on
The choice of Knebworth carries huge symbolism for Oasis. In 1996, at the height of their fame, the band played two historic concerts there in front of a combined audience of around 250,000 people.
Those shows remain a landmark in British music history and are still regarded as one of the defining moments of the Britpop era. More than three decades later, the Gallagher brothers will return to the same site, this time for four nights.
From Definitely Maybe to Morning Glory
Oasis were Britain's biggest guitar band of the 1990s. Their debut album, "Definitely Maybe," was released in 1994 and was an immediate success.
It was followed by "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?", which became the decade's biggest-selling album and included songs that came to define a generation, among them "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger."
The 2009 split and the reunion
For years, the idea that Oasis would ever share a stage again seemed almost impossible. Ongoing tension between Noel Gallagher, the band's main songwriter, and his younger brother Liam, its singer, eventually led to the band's breakup in 2009.
Their relationship stayed strained for more than a decade, marked by public attacks and statements that appeared to rule out any reunion. When it was announced in 2024 that the two brothers would work together again, the public reaction was enormous, and demand for tickets to the 2025 tour set off a genuine frenzy.
A comeback that won over fans and critics
The reunited band's first concert, in Cardiff, was met with enthusiasm from both fans and music critics. Many wrote that Oasis sounded as powerful as they had in their best years.
The comeback became one of the biggest music events of recent years and reignited huge interest in the band. The story of the reunion has already reached the big screen: a documentary titled "Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger," which follows the reunion tour, premiered in early September at the Venice Film Festival.
With the announcement of 38 new concerts, it is now clear that the Gallagher brothers' reunion was not a brief nostalgia trip. Oasis are returning again in 2027, and the year is expected to see "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger" sung by tens of thousands of voices in stadiums from Manchester to Las Vegas.
