Oasis fans are convinced a new cryptic video posted on social media is the strongest hint yet that the band will tour in 2027. The 23-second clip, shared on September 3, shows two young lads in a chippy with Little by Little playing in the background.
One lad sits on a counter tucking into chips and pushes the other away when he reaches for one. The second lad then grabs a Mars Bar from the fridge and goes to the counter to buy it, with some fans suggesting it is going to be fried, hinting at a Scottish chippy.
Fans spot hidden clues
Fans have analysed every aspect of the video for clues. A sign on the fridge states it is kept at '-4', which could indicate a countdown to an announcement. The song Little by Little was released in September 2002, so some fans reckon an announcement will be made this month.
One poster on the wall says 'Realization for the Nation', a phrase Liam posted on X in August, along with other posts containing the word 'Nation'. One X account, @alivedemo, suggested the video reveals coordinates for Celtic Park (55.849712, -4.205991), which match the poster advertising the 'family chippy bundle at £55.84' and the fridge temperature.
The Iron Bru cans in the fridge and the deep-fried Mars Bar strongly suggest the Scottish theory could be correct. The taxi number on display is believed to be for Glasgow.
Manchester hopes remain
But there is hope for Manchester fans too. The two lads are wearing shirts similar to what Noel and Liam wore at the original Maine Road Man City gig, suggesting there could be shows at the Etihad Stadium.
One fan on X suggested this video is the first of several, with each one hinting at a different host venue. X user @oasissafc84 wrote: “We are getting a video everyday between now and next Wednesday. 6 day, 6 videos teasing 6 venues! Announcement made at end of film.”
Prior to the video being posted, Liam shared a link to the song Tease Me by Chaka Demus, fuelling speculation even more.
Tour plans and upcoming events
Despite numerous rumours, Oasis have yet to confirm a tour next year. On Wednesday night, Noel Gallagher confirmed there's "something happening" in summer 2027 when speaking to TalkSport presenter Andy Goldstein. It followed Liam urging Noel on X to announce a new tour, saying: "Ffs RKID announce the tour we’re all losing our minds."
As the MEN revealed earlier this summer, the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, home to the Gallaghers' beloved Manchester City, is set to host up to 12 gigs from Oasis across June 2027. Man City's games conclude at the end of May, giving Oasis free reign to take over the ground. The MEN understands from music industry sources that the gig schedule will see three gigs a week, including weekends, at the Etihad Stadium across June, while plans are also afoot to stage a huge return to Knebworth from the band later in the summer.
The cryptic video comes ahead of a busy weekend for the Gallagher brothers. They are confirmed to attend the world premiere of the new docufilm about the Oasis Live 2025 return at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, September 5. The film, Don't Look Back in Anger, will feature the first joint interview from the brothers about their epic comeback.
They will then return to London for the UK premiere of the film on Monday, September 7. The film will then head into selected cinemas from Wednesday, September 9, before general release across the world from Friday, September 11.
The MEN understands from music industry sources that a big announcement is being planned by mid-September. A new Oasis tour would spark an epic scramble for tickets, given the 2025 tour broke all records amid the clamour from millions of fans to be at the live shows across the world. Oasis have not yet officially announced any 2027 dates.
