Oasis are reportedly planning a massive 12-night residency at Manchester's Etihad Stadium as part of a world tour in summer 2027, with an announcement expected within weeks. Sources close to Manchester City and concert promoters have confirmed the residency, which could be formally announced later this summer, triggering a rush for tickets.
Residency Details and Speculation
A music industry insider told the Manchester Evening News: "It will be 12 nights at the Etihad Stadium across May and June. It's just massive for Manchester and for the local economy." The source added that additional dates could be added, with talk of up to 20 nights, and the wider tour includes a return to Knebworth, the site of Oasis's most famous concerts in 1996.
A separate source informed the MEN that a high-end city centre hotel has been fully reserved from late May through June to accommodate the band and their touring party, corroborating the May-June schedule.
Parklife Date Shift Fuels Speculation
Manchester's Parklife festival announced a change to its 2027 dates, moving from its traditional June weekend to July 10-11 for the first time. This sparked speculation on social media that the shift was to clear June for Oasis concerts, though the MEN understands Heaton Park is not under consideration as a venue for the new tour.
Glastonbury Odds and Anniversary
Bookmakers have stoked further speculation, with Betway offering odds of 2/1 on Oasis headlining Glastonbury in 2027 as part of the world tour. This weekend marks the one-year anniversary of Oasis's return to the live stage, which began on July 4, 2025, at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
Liam Gallagher's Teases
Liam Gallagher engaged with fans on social media, stoking excitement. When a fan asked about "12 nights at the Etihad??", Liam replied: "12 I thought it was 10 ffs." He also responded to another fan: "You say that now but soon as we announce the gig nxt wk I mean nxt year I mean happy Christmas you'll be running around like headless chickens trying to get a ticket so stop acting tuff."
Upcoming Documentary
A new documentary chronicling Oasis's comeback will be released by Disney+ with a full cinema release scheduled for autumn, further building anticipation. Some fans speculate the tour announcement could be unveiled in the closing credits of the film, which premieres on September 11.
The MEN contacted Oasis's PR team and the Etihad Stadium for comment, but neither has responded to the speculation.
