- Oasis confirmed the 'Oasis Live 27' tour, beginning at Glasgow's Celtic Park on 21 May and ending with four Knebworth dates in September, taking in Manchester, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston, Las Vegas and Slane Castle along the way
- Knebworth returns to the itinerary 30 years after the band's 1996 two-night stand there played to 250,000 fans, with events-licence paperwork filed by SJM Concerts' Simon Moran covering audiences of 125,000 people per night
- Ticketmaster must now publish all pricing upfront after competition-watchdog action forced changes following the 2025 tour, when tiered pricing saw fans expecting £148.50 tickets hit with £350 at checkout; 2027 UK tickets will run £71.50 to £266.60
- Fans must register by 4pm BST on 17 September to be eligible for the sale, a measure organisers say is designed to curb queuing times and organised touting
- Baroness Taylor of Stevenage inadvertently broke the Knebworth news in the House of Lords in October 2025, suggesting Oasis would play 'the fantastic venue of Knebworth House' near her own residence before retracting her comments as hypothetical
- UK Music estimated the band's five Heaton Park nights last year drove north-west music tourist spending up 16% year on year to £1.4bn, with the reunion also credited with fuelling the UK's vinyl revival
- Oasis are also rumoured to headline Glastonbury 2027, the festival's return after a fallow year in 2026, while reunion documentary 'Don't Look Back in Anger' hit cinemas last week after premiering in Venice
Why it matters: The 2027 dates mark Oasis's first mainland European and added US cities since their 2025 reunion, and the band's proven ability to pull £1.4bn in regional tourism revenue suggests local economies around the 24 announced shows stand to benefit substantially, while the Ticketmaster reforms mean fans this time will see every price before reaching checkout.
