American rockers Fall Out Boy have added a second Manchester show at Co-op Live on Sunday, June 6, which will clash with one of Oasis' Etihad Stadium residency dates, prompting fans to warn of travel chaos around the venues.
The band announced the extra date due to what they described as 'phenomenal demand', after initially confirming a single Manchester show for Thursday, June 3 as part of their UK and Ireland tour. The tour kicks off at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on May 30 before heading to Dublin's 3Arena on June 1.
Fall Out Boy last played Manchester in October 2023, when they performed at the AO Arena as part of their So Much For (Tour) Dust shows. This summer's visit will mark their first Manchester appearance in four years.
Five gigs in one week across two venues
The clash comes during a packed week for the area around Co-op Live and the Etihad. Oasis' Oasis Live '27 residency begins on Friday, June 4 at the Etihad, with the band playing 11 dates at the venue ending on Saturday, June 26. One of those shows falls on June 6, the same day Fall Out Boy play Co-op Live just across the way.
Nickelback's Everything Under The Sun tour will also hit Manchester that week, with a gig on Wednesday, June 2 at Co-op Live. In total, five scheduled gigs will take place across the two venues between May 31 and June 6, drawing hundreds of thousands of music fans to the area.
Fans react to the scheduling clash
Co-op Live posted about the new Fall Out Boy date, and the comments quickly picked up on the packed music schedule. One person wrote on X: "Same night as Oasis at the Etihad...Manchester will be heaving." Another added: "so on the 6th fall out boy and oasis will finish at the same time and there's one tram stop."
A third commented: "Aren’t oasis at the Etihad on the 6th? Who approved this one." One fan considering tickets wrote: "Do I attempt at getting another fall out boy ticket for Manchester N2 and then risk having to deal with the oasis crowd after or not?" Other tweets joked about potential travel disruption, with one user adding "imagine the trams", while another fan attending Oasis later in the residency expressed relief at avoiding the extra crowds.
Oasis residency and ticket details
Oasis confirmed Oasis Live '27 in September, spanning 42 dates across cities including Glasgow, Manchester, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston, Las Vegas, and Ireland, concluding with a return to Knebworth. The tour follows the successful Oasis Live '25 tour, which saw the Gallagher brothers reunite on stage for the first time in 16 years. Richard Ashcroft will provide support at all shows.
Oasis are set to perform at the Etihad on June 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 15, 18, 19, 22, 25, and 26. Manchester City's North Stand was expanded earlier this year, bringing the full seated capacity for football games at the Etihad to 61,095. The Oasis crowd is likely to be higher than that, as tickets include general admission standing across the pitch.
Tickets for Fall Out Boy's second Co-op Live show go on general sale at 12pm today.
