Oasis have announced a 42-date tour for 2027, but London is notably absent from the schedule. The Britpop icons will play shows from May to September 2027 across the UK, Europe and the US.
Their UK dates include five shows in Glasgow, 11 in Manchester and six at Knebworth, 30 years after they played two historic nights at the Hertfordshire venue in 1996.
No official explanation for London omission
There has been no official explanation for why London is missing from the Oasis Live ’27 tour. However, the band played seven sold-out Wembley shows during their 2025 reunion, while the new tour focuses on other major UK locations, including Manchester, Glasgow and Knebworth.
Knebworth could also serve as the tour’s southern England stop, with the venue marking more than 30 years since Oasis’ iconic 1996 shows. However, this has not been confirmed as the reason for skipping London.
Fan reactions: snub or sensible choice?
The nearest gig for Londoners this time round is well beyond the boundaries of the M25 in Knebworth, a 20 to 40 minute journey by train from King's Cross or St Pancras International. Alternatively, it is a 30-mile drive from central London expected to take hours on concert day.
Fans in the capital have been taken aback by the lack of London shows, with some calling the choice a “snub”.
"You saw everyone in London wearing bucket hats and Adidas tops last year, it was such a good vibe. It feels like a missed opportunity not to do it all over again," said one disappointed fan.
"London is so much better setup for this than anywhere else. Everyone who was at Knebworth the first time said the sound was rubbish!," they added.
“Only Manchester? No London? It’s gonna be even harder to get a ticket than last year,” said another, whilst a fourth added: “Nothing in London, meh.”
Another fan said: “It’s really exciting that Oasis are back next year. I saw them at Wembley Stadium two years ago and it was one of the best nights of my life. I'm just gutted they’re not coming back to the capital, it does feel like a bit of a snub.”
However, others praised the decision to leave the capital off of the list. “They don't owe nothing to London, they were made in the North, by the North. Londoners get to see any act they want to at the O2 or Wembley, can't they make the trip up to Manchester once in a while? "Why not support local economies in the UK outside one of the richest cities in the world?"
"You lot get everything, so shush," said another user in response to a complaining fan from the capital.
Tour announcement and full dates
When the band announced the tour, they shared a post on Instagram declaring: “START THE CELEBRATIONS!!!!
The statement continued: “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.
“Come witness the fitness. It shall be a sight to behold,” the band said.
Hopes of another set of shows were all but confirmed when the Gallagher brothers used a huge drone display which lit up Manchester’s Etihad Stadium to reveal that an announcement was coming on Monday, September 14 at 4pm.
The group set the internet blaze in 2024 when they announced that they would be going on tour the following year - the first time since the band split in 2009.
