Oasis Be Here Now Tour: The 1997 to 1998 World Tour
The Be Here Now tour of 1997 to 1998 was Oasis's first full world tour at the height of their fame. Its scale, its place in the band's story and how it compares to Live '27.
The Be Here Now tour was Oasis’s first true world tour, launched in 1997 behind their hugely anticipated third album. Where the Morning Glory campaign had conquered Britain, this one took the band global across 1997 and 1998, through Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Australia at the very height of their fame.
Be Here Now arrived as the most hyped British album of the decade and sold enormously on release, and the tour matched that scale with arenas and stadiums worldwide. In hindsight it is also remembered as a turning point: the record’s excess and the fading of the Britpop moment meant the tour marked the end of the band’s untouchable imperial phase and the start of a longer, more turbulent second act with changing line-ups.
For the reunion in 2027, Oasis return to that global ambition on their own terms. 42 shows across the UK, mainland Europe and the United States. Compare the eras on the tours history page, and see where the band plays now on the 2027 dates.
