Oasis announce huge tour including gigs at Knebworth - here's how to get tickets

After days of teasing, Oasis have finally put an end to the speculation - announcing another huge tour for 2027 following the success of their comeback last year.

The tour includes 11 dates at the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City, shows in Glasgow, Rome, Munich, Las Vegas, Boston, and Slane Castle in Ireland - as well as four nights at Knebworth, the site of the band's famous 1996 gigs.

In an attempt to avoid the chaos of the last sale, when fans were kept waiting in hours-long queues online and many discovered tickets were more than they were expecting to pay, Oasis have announced a different process this time round.

Fans must register before 4pm on Thursday, and those who are successful will be sent a code to access an allocated sale window. These windows will run on Friday 25, Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September and will ensure "the purchase process is as fair and smooth as possible for Oasis fans", a statement announcing the tour said.

The registration process is the only public way to buy tickets for the tour and standard ticket prices will be fixed and range between £71.50 and £266.60, including fees.

"Start the celebrations!" the tour announcement started, with clips from the 2025 shows shared by the band's official social media channels. "After a period of reflection 'The Most Damaging Pop Cultural Force In Recent British History' has declared itself fit for purpose and will once again return to lift the spirits of the people."

Confirmation comes after days of video teasers hinting at the locations of different shows - with references to the infamous fight in Paris that led to Noel Gallagher calling time on Oasis in 2009, and the arrests on a ferry to Amsterdam ahead of their first overseas gigs in 1994.

Within an hour of the confirmation, the post on Instagram had been liked by more than 350,000 people.

Annoyances have 'gone away'

Earlier this month, the band attended premieres in Venice and London for the documentary Don't Look Back In Anger, which focused on the global success and impact of the reunion and featured the first joint interview with Liam and Noel in more than 20 years.

"All the little things that used to annoy us about each other have disappeared," says Noel, who for years appeared to be the biggest obstacle to a reconciliation. "It's not a power struggle anymore."

He describes his younger brother as "delightful" in the film, while Liam also offers praise: "I'm glad to see Noel doing it again. They're his songs... they come from his soul. He deserves it and the songs deserve it."

Speculation about another tour has been building for months, ramping up considerably around the 30th anniversary of the Knebworth shows, which saw the band playing to 250,000 people in August 1996.

Coming at the height of the band's fame, it is estimated that more than 2.5m people applied to go to the two gigs, breaking box office records at the time. Just days before the anniversary, it emerged promoters who worked on the 2025 tour had secured a licence to host events at the venue once again.

The reunion fans thought would never happen

More than 15 years on from their dramatic split, sparked by the backstage argument at the Rock en Seine festival in France, Oasis reformed to tour across the UK, Ireland, the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, South Korea, Japan and South America last year.

The sold-out shows saw Liam and Noel sharing hugs and high-fives as they performed on stage together for the first time since 2009, garnering positive reviews as critics said the band sounded as good as ever.

With huge demand, there was controversy when tickets went on sale in 2024, with many fans waiting for hours online, only to discover, when they finally got the chance to buy, that they would have to pay more than they expected.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) investigated and found Ticketmaster did not offer fans enough clarity, but said there was no evidence that dynamic pricing - a form of surge pricing where costs can rise depending on levels of demand - was used, despite reports of this at the time.

With fixed prices announced for the 2027 shows, as well as the sales windows, it seems the band are keen to make the buying process easier - and cheaper - for fans this time round. There will be no general sale or other public presales outside of this process, they have said.

"Due to the anticipated extremely high demand for Oasis Live '27 and to give genuine fans the best possible chance of getting tickets, a registration process is in place to access the onsale," the registration site says.

Ticket sales hopefully 'a lot less fraught'

Adam Webb, spokesperson for the ticketing campaign group FanFair Alliance, said it appeared the Oasis team had learned from the experience of the ticket sale for the 2025 shows.

"Effectively, what they've announced is a ballot," he told Sky News. "Hopefully that will mean people not having to wait around in a waiting room for a long time.

"Hopefully it's a lot cleaner process this time, a lot less fraught, and again the pricing I believe will be no dynamic pricing, just straight static pricing."

Oasis have had eight number one singles and albums each in the UK charts, with hits including Live Forever, Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Some Might Say, Slide Away, Don't Look Back In Anger and Half The World Away among their back catalogue of hits.

The band line-up for 2025 saw Liam and Noel joined by guitarists Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and Gem Archer, bass player Andy Bell and drummer Joey Waronker.
