Oasis headlined Glastonbury twice, and the two sets bookend the band’s classic era. The first, in 1995, caught them on the climb: weeks before (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? detonated, they topped the Pyramid Stage as the defining new British band and left as festival headliners in waiting. It is remembered as one of the great “band on the rise” Glastonbury moments.

They returned to headline again in 2004, during the Don’t Believe the Truth period with a changed line-up, this time as a long-established stadium act rather than insurgents. The two appearances together trace the band’s journey from Britpop’s cutting edge to rock institution, the same arc that makes a 2027 reunion feel like a culmination rather than a comeback.

Oasis have not played Glastonbury on the reunion, choosing their own stadium run instead. For the full festival-to-stadium story see the tours history, and for where the band plays in 2027, the tour dates.
