Oasis is brewing up a storm once more, with whispers of a colossal UK tour spreading like wildfire through music circles! Insiders are tipping a 12-night Manchester residency at the Etihad Stadium, where brotherly love will be in full bloom. And if that wasn't enough, it seems Liam and Noel Gallagher's legendary Knebworth gigs – those mythical sell-outs from '96 – might just get a long-overdue encore. The band's renaissance year has been building momentum with their 'Live '25' tour and an upcoming documentary, 'Don’t Look Back In Anger', set to premiere on September 11.
According to the Manchester Evening News, 'a number of sources' close to Manchester City FC have dropped a bombshell: 12 shows are being booked at the Etihad Stadium. This summer's major concerts, featuring The Weeknd and Take That, might just pale in comparison to the Gallagher brothers' homecoming party. If these residency shows come to fruition, tickets will likely go on sale in the summer of '27, with dates probably slotted for May and June – neatly coinciding with Manchester City's 2026/2027 football season finale.
A source spilled the beans to the Manchester Evening News: "It'll be 12 nights at the Etihad Stadium across May and June. It’s a game-changer for Manchester and its local economy." And here's the kicker: this insider hinted at the possibility of adding up to 20 more dates, while confirming talks about Knebworth – a venue that saw an estimated 2.6 million people desperately trying to get their hands on tickets 30 years ago. The demand remains as insatiable as ever.
More fuel for speculation comes from Parklife's rescheduling to July 10 and 11, traditionally a June affair. Some are whispering that this might be an attempt to avoid clashing with potential Oasis dates in June. Meanwhile, Dublin Live reports suggest the band might also consider revisiting Slane Castle in Ireland – a venue they last headlined back in 2009.
Bookmakers Ladbrokes are offering odds of 2/1 for both Slane Castle dates and Oasis taking the Glastonbury 2027 headline slot. While no official word has been forthcoming, Liam and Noel's recent teaser trailer for their documentary, 'Don’t Look Back In Anger', has sent fans into a frenzy. Directed by Steven Knight, this cinematic offering is set to premiere in cinemas on September 11 before becoming available globally on Disney+ and Hulu later in 2026.
