Oasis have announced a 2027 international tour running from May to September, and the shape of it is remarkable. Eleven nights at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium. Five at Celtic Park in Glasgow. Four at Knebworth, where they drew a quarter of a million people across two nights in 1996. And for the entire United States: three shows in Boston and three in Las Vegas. That’s it. There is also no general sale — the only route to a ticket is an online ballot, and registration closes on September 17.

Register by September 17 or you’re out
Start here, because everything else is academic if you miss it.
There is no general sale for this tour. None. The only way to be eligible for a ticket is to register online in advance, and the deadline is September 17.
That’s three days.
Registration is at oasis.hq.fan/registration.
The band used a ballot system for the 2025 reunion run as well, largely in response to what happened the first time around — the dynamic pricing controversy that followed the original announcement was severe enough to prompt a regulatory response in the UK. A closed ballot with a hard registration window is the fix, and it means the people who forget to sign up simply don’t get a chance.

The two American cities
Now the part that’s going to sting for anyone reading this in the States.
Boston and Las Vegas. That’s the whole American leg.
August 10, 13 and 14 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, and August 20, 21 and 24 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Six stadium shows for a country of 340 million people. No New York. No Los Angeles. No Chicago. Nothing in the South, nothing in Texas, nothing in the Pacific Northwest. If you want to see Oasis in America in 2027, you are flying to Massachusetts or Nevada.
Compare that to eleven nights in Manchester alone and the priorities are fairly clear. This is a band playing to the audience that made them, with the rest of the world getting what’s left over.
To be fair about it, the Vegas choice is a deliberate destination play — Allegiant is a stadium people fly to rather than drive to, and the same logic put Metallica and U2 in that market. Boston is the East Coast Irish-diaspora capital, which for a Manchester band with the Gallaghers’ background is not an accident either.
But six shows is six shows. Expect those ballots to be brutal.
Knebworth, and what happened there in 1996
Four nights at Knebworth Festival — September 11, 12, 18 and 19 — and this is the emotional centre of the whole announcement.
In August 1996, Oasis played two concerts at Knebworth, about 25 miles north of London. Each night drew 125,000 people. A quarter of a million across the weekend. At the time it set the record for the biggest outdoor concert in UK history by a single act, and reportedly something like 2.6 million people applied for tickets — roughly one in twenty-four of the entire British population.
Noel Gallagher’s own assessment afterwards has become part of the mythology. He said he now knew what the word big meant — that they’d thought they were big when they played Earls Court, then Maine Road, but that after that night there was big, and then bigger than big, and then whatever the hell Knebworth was. Now that is big, he said.
Going back for four nights, thirty-one years later, with both brothers on stage, is about as loaded a piece of scheduling as this band could have chosen.

The scale of it, in numbers
Worth laying out plainly, because the distribution tells you everything about who this tour is for.
- Manchester: 11 nights
- Glasgow: 5 nights
- Knebworth: 4 nights
- Boston: 3 nights
- Las Vegas: 3 nights
- Ireland: 2 nights
- Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome: 2 nights each
- Munich: 1 night
Twenty of the thirty-six shows are in the UK. Add Slane and it’s twenty-two in Britain and Ireland. Six in America. Nine across mainland Europe.
At Etihad capacity, eleven Manchester nights alone is comfortably over half a million tickets in one city.
Slane Castle, which is its own kind of venue
The two Irish dates on September 4 and 5 are at Slane Castle in County Meath, and anyone who follows live music knows what that means.
Slane is a natural amphitheatre in a river valley that has hosted a single enormous show most years since 1981 — Thin Lizzy first, then Springsteen, U2, Queen, Bowie, REM, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, and the Rolling Stones. It holds around 80,000 and playing it is treated in Ireland as a career marker rather than a tour date.
Two nights there is not standard. Most acts get one.
And there’s a film
The other thing in the diary: Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, a documentary covering the 2025 global reunion tour, arrived in cinemas this month. It moves to Hulu and Disney+ later in the year.
So the sequence is a reunion tour, a film about the reunion tour, and then a considerably larger tour off the back of both. For a band who spent fifteen years insisting they’d never share a stage again, the machinery is running very smoothly now.
Why this matters even if you’re here for the heavy stuff
Fair question on a metal site, and there’s a straight answer.
This is the largest rock tour announcement of the year, and the terms of it — ballot-only access, no general sale, a hard registration cutoff — are the template the industry is moving toward after the dynamic-pricing mess of 2024. What Oasis do here will shape how the next twenty stadium tours are sold, including the ones you actually want tickets for.
There’s also a straightforward lesson in the geography. A British band at absolute peak demand has looked at the numbers and concluded that six American shows is the right call. Anyone tracking how the live business actually works in 2026 should find that interesting, because it’s the opposite of what every band did in the nineties.
And on the music: Oasis were never a heavy band, but they came out of the same British rock lineage that produced everything from the NWOBHM onwards, and they were the last British guitar band to be genuinely, unambiguously the biggest thing in the country. There hasn’t been another one since.
