Oasis Announce Stadium Tour With Knebworth Homecoming

Oasis announced Live ‘27 at 4pm BST on Monday 14 September 2026. The announcement opened the tour with 38 stadium shows across the UK, Europe and North America. The run starts at Celtic Park in Glasgow on 21 May 2027 and ends at Knebworth Park on 26 September 2027.

The band kept the statement short and loud. Oasis told fans: “Come witness the fitness. It shall be a sight to behold.” The statement also billed the band as the most damaging pop cultural force in recent British history.

Richard Ashcroft joins the tour as special guest on every date. The former Verve frontman opens each night before Oasis take the stage. Fans can meet the full touring party on the Oasis Live ‘27 lineup page.

Ashcroft also opened shows across the Live ‘25 reunion run in 2025. His solo set starts each evening and warms the crowd for the headline set. The arrangement keeps one familiar face in the support slot all tour long.

Why Knebworth carries the headline

Knebworth Park hosts the emotional centre of the whole run. Oasis return to the Hertfordshire estate more than 30 years after the two 1996 shows. Those nights drew 250,000 fans and fixed Knebworth in the band’s story.

For context, about 2.5 million people applied for Knebworth tickets back in 1996. Demand dwarfed supply even then, and the 2027 ballot repeated that pattern. The Oasis Knebworth 2027 page tracks all six nights on the estate.

The route rewards readers who follow it city by city. The tour opens with five Glasgow nights at Celtic Park in May 2027. Manchester follows with 11 Etihad Stadium nights across June, and Europe takes over in July.

Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and Rome host the European leg. North America then gets six shows during August 2027. Boston hosts three nights at Gillette Stadium, and Las Vegas hosts three at Allegiant Stadium.

Meanwhile, every venue on the run is a stadium or an outdoor estate. Celtic Park, the Etihad Stadium and Knebworth Park anchor the British leg. The Stade de France, the Stadio Olimpico and the Johan Cruijff ArenA lead the European leg.

The ballot opened the same afternoon

Registration for the ticket ballot opened with the announcement itself. Fans had until 4pm on Thursday 17 September to register their details. The Oasis tickets hub explains how that ballot shaped the whole sale.

Manchester carries the heaviest load on the run. The Oasis Manchester 2027 run stretches to 11 nights at the Etihad Stadium in June 2027. No other city on the tour hosts more than six shows.

That said, the announcement still surprised long term watchers of the band. In December 2025, Liam Gallagher ruled out any band activity during 2026. The band then took a pause for reflection after the Sao Paulo show on 23 November 2025.

For context, Slane Castle hosts the tour’s only Irish dates. Oasis play the County Meath estate on 4 and 5 September 2027. The Slane shows sit between Las Vegas and the Knebworth finale.

Amsterdam takes two nights at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on 16 and 17 July. Paris follows at the Stade de France on 20 and 23 July. The second Paris date later moved one day earlier than first listed.

In the end, the announcement did one job perfectly well. The statement gave fans dates, a ballot and a Knebworth homecoming in a single drop. Every later Live ‘27 story traces back to that Monday afternoon.

The tour has already grown since announcement day. Four extra shows in late September took the run from 38 dates to 42. Fans now hold a complete calendar of 42 sold out shows in 11 cities.
