Oasis at Maine Road 1996
Oasis played two homecoming nights at Maine Road in April 1996, one of their defining hometown shows. How it compares to the Live '27 Manchester run.
🎸 Historic Tour
Before Knebworth, there was Maine Road. In April 1996 Oasis played two homecoming nights at Manchester City’s old ground, a short walk from where the Gallaghers grew up. For many fans those shows, more than any stadium spectacle, are the real emotional heart of the band’s story.
The 2027 run at the Etihad, eleven nights barely a mile from the Maine Road site, picks up that thread on a far larger scale. Where 1996 was two nights at a football ground, Live ‘27 turns the hometown stand into the centrepiece of a world tour.
