Oasis Live '27 Lineup: Confirmed, Expected and Support

Only two band members are confirmed by name for Oasis Live ‘27. Liam Gallagher sings, and Noel Gallagher plays lead guitar and sings.

For the full tour dates and cities, see the Oasis members hub. For what the band is expected to play, see the Live ‘27 setlist.

First, the split on this page matters more than any single name. Confirmed means a name has been announced for Live ‘27 itself.

Expected means fans have good reason to expect a name, but no Live ‘27 announcement has been found for that name. This page keeps those two groups apart in every section, table and answer below.

Who is confirmed for Live ‘27?

Liam Gallagher is confirmed as the lead singer. Noel Gallagher is confirmed on lead guitar and vocals.

The two brothers front the band, write its songs, and lead the set. Their return together is the reason the tour exists, after they last played together in 2009.

Next, Richard Ashcroft is confirmed as support, and his role needs a clear line around it. Ashcroft opens every one of the 42 shows with his own set, and he is not a member of Oasis. His name sits on posters beside the band because he plays every night, not because he has joined the band.

Then, the confirmed list stops there. No other musician is named as confirmed for Live ‘27 on this page, even where a name feels familiar from past tours. A familiar name is not the same as a confirmed name, and this guide keeps that line clear.

Who is expected, but not confirmed?

Fans expect five more musicians to fill out the stage sound. Paul Bonehead Arthurs played rhythm guitar as a founder member.

Gem Archer played guitar in the later years, and Andy Bell played bass in the later years. Joey Waronker played drums on the reunion run, and Christian Madden played keyboards on the reunion run. Each name comes from the reunion touring band that fans saw in 2025.

However, expectation is not confirmation for Live ‘27. No announcement found for this guide confirms any of those five names for the 2027 dates.

Their roles below describe the reunion band, not a confirmed 2027 line-up. If a promoter or the band confirms a name for Live ‘27, this page should move that name to the confirmed list.

The source should be cited with the move.

Also, Bonehead needs a separate note, because his case is different from the other four. He took a treatment break during the 2025 run, and his status after that break is unconfirmed.

That fact alone means his name cannot sit in a confirmed column, even though fans hope he returns. This guide states that gap plainly, rather than filling it with a guess.

Then, the expected names still matter for fans planning a show. They explain the sound fans heard on the reunion run, and they explain why setlists from 2025 list those roles. They do not promise who will walk on stage in Glasgow on 21 May 2027, and no ticket should be bought on that promise alone.

Who is not part of Live ‘27?

Tony McCarroll played drums from 1991 to 1995, and Paul Guigsy McGuigan played bass from 1991 to 1999. Neither man is part of the reunion, and neither name belongs in a 2027 line-up list.

Alan White played drums from 1995 to 2004, Zak Starkey played drums from 2004 to 2008, and Chris Sharrock played drums from 2008 to 2009. None of those three is part of the reunion either.

Next, former members still have their own pages for fans who want the full history. Their work shaped the records, even where they do not play in 2027. The ticket guide explains how the 42 sold-out shows were sold, and the setlist page records what the band is expected to play each night.

Oasis lineup at a glance

Finally, the safest way to read any 2027 line-up claim is to ask one question. Was this name announced for Live ‘27 itself, or only for an earlier run? If the answer is only an earlier run, treat the name as expected, not confirmed, until a new announcement lands.

For the support story in full, see the support acts page. That page keeps Ashcroft separate from the band, as this page does.
