Liam Gallagher has appeared to shut down speculation that Oasis could headline Glastonbury Festival in 2027, telling fans that the rumoured performance is “not happening”.
The Oasis frontman responded to a post from fan account Oasis Mania on X, which claimed the band were among the favourites to headline Glastonbury next year. The account wrote: “According to The Scotsman, Oasis are among the favourites to headline Glastonbury 2027, with odds of 4/1. Could we see them return to the Pyramid Stage?”
Liam, 53, then replied with a typically colourful message, writing: “It’s not HAPPENING so all you croc wearing flag waving s**t c***s can calm the f**k down.”
No official confirmation from the band
His response appears to rule out an Oasis appearance at Worthy Farm, although the band have not made any wider announcement about their future plans. The band previously played at Glastonbury in headline performances in 1995 and 2004, they also played a smaller stage as a non-headline act in 1994.
Speculation surrounding a potential Oasis return to the festival has been building amid continued rumours of further dates following their huge reunion tour in 2025. The band, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, reunited last year for their Oasis Live ’25 tour, marking their return to the stage together after their split in 2009.
Oasis has yet to officially confirm any 2027 shows, despite reports and speculation about possible future performances.
Etihad and Knebworth plans
Sources close to the band have confirmed to the Mirror the band plans to play Manchester City’s Etihad stadium in June before returning to Knebworth the scene of their biggest ever gigs, later in the year and likely in September. Full confirmation of the tour and ticket prices are now imminent.
Last week the promoter of the Oasis 2025 reunion tour secured a licence to host events at Knebworth, just days before the 30th anniversary of the band's historic concerts there.
The band continued to tease fans by posting throwback videos and photos on the anniversary of the shows, with excitement at fever pitch. The posts included the song Acquiesce and also throwback photos and shots of original ticket stubs. Liam responded to the band's post saying: "We want MORE."
When directly asked about our original 12 nights at the Etihad story, frontman Liam responded to a fan to say: "12 I thought it was 10 ffs". As another fan said they were desperate for the dates to be announced, Liam replied: "You are not the boss we will announce when the time is righteous."
Licence and ticket details
The new licence granted by North Hertfordshire Council to SJM Concerts gives them a premises licence for Knebworth House. It allows events for up to 125,000 people, with live music and dance performances permitted until 03:00 and it remains in place indefinitely, meaning the full dates for the shows are not yet confirmed.
The band’s former publicist Johnny Hopkins says if the shows happen, he expects the tickets to be "reasonably" priced and hinted they could be priced differently than the most expensive tickets at the Oasis Live 25 reunion shows.
At a Q&A event last week he said: “I was really surprised the tickets were done in the way they were. Ticketmaster put their hands up and took the blame for it.”
The Mirror understands that any official announcement about tickets for the 2027 shows is being held back whilst the new documentary Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger is publicised and promoted.
The London Premiere takes place on September 7 and so tickets could go on sale after or around this date or after some current promotion has finished. Both Noel and Liam are expected at the premiere in London and the World premiere at the Venice film festival.
The Manchester dates for Oasis, thought to be a total of 12 nights, were first revealed by the Manchester Evening News. Anticipation ramped up after it was revealed the city's Parklife festival had shifted its traditional schedule to Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th July 2027 - compared to previous mid June dates.
