Oasis’ ‘Live ’27’ Reunion Set to Close Out Career, Band Admits Shows May Be Their Last

The forthcoming Oasis Live ’27 concerts are not intended as a farewell tour, yet the band acknowledges they could very well be their final time performing live.

The Manchester Britpop icons are returning to the road next year for stadium shows across the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe, and the US, following their successful Live ’25 reunion trek.

Liam and Noel Gallagher have already confirmed five nights at Glasgow’s Celtic Park, an 11-date residency at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium—the home of their beloved Manchester City FC—two concerts at Ireland’s Slane Castle, and a four-night return to Knebworth.

Following unprecedented demand for tickets, additional dates have been added to the tour, including two extra performances at Knebworth scheduled for September 25 and 26.

Although the shows are still some time away, Oasis has already shared details regarding transport, camping, hospitality, and accessibility plans for their major Knebworth performances, and Noel has promised that the Live ’27 concerts will be “so much better” than the 2025 reunion shows.

Liam has also addressed the band’s future following the conclusion of the 2027 tour dates, stating that while it is not a “farewell tour,” it could still be their final series of performances.

On X/Twitter, the frontman responded to a fan who had seemingly accepted the possibility of not being “lucky” enough to secure tickets to Live ’27, noting they would be “pleased” for those who attend regardless.

“This could be the last time so get involved,” Liam responded in a now-deleted tweet, before adding: “It isn’t a farewell tour but it still could be our last”.

Nah I’m not panicking at all.

That uncertainty regarding additional shows after Live ’27 mirrors what Noel stated during an interview with TalkSPORT when the tour was initially announced. When asked by the host if he could envision doing anything else with Oasis after the new dates conclude, he bluntly replied: “I don’t know”.

In the same interview, he reflected on how he will celebrate his 60th birthday during the upcoming tour, acknowledging that while the itinerary is “easier” than his High Flying Birds tours, the band cannot “do it like we did it in the ‘90s”.

“Liam will be off the booze, and I wasn’t for the last tour but I might be for this tour,” he said. “You’ve just got to go to bed early. We can’t do it like we did it in the ‘90s. We can’t even do it like we did it in the 2000s. But you’ve got to pick your battles.”

“These tours are not that gruelling,” he added. “You’re playing them over the weekends, and you generally have the week off. My tours with my band are brutal. You do four or five shows a week… this is like two gigs a week. It’s easy.”

While Noel did not appear fully convinced about scheduling more massive Oasis tour dates after 2027, it is worth noting that he made similar remarks about scaling back his touring schedule back in 2015—at the time suggesting he was considering retiring within the next decade.

“Ten years from now I don’t think I’ll be getting on a bus – it’s undignified. But I don’t think I’ll ever stop writing – as long as my brain and bones last out,” he said at the time. “I’ll just have to tailor the touring. It’s not fun being on a bus for six weeks in America. It’s fine when you’re young, but I’m almost 50.”

“The worst thing for me about getting older is the hangovers. Hangovers last for three or four days,” he added. “I haven’t got the stamina for three days at Glastonbury any more, although I did that last year and it was fucking horrific.”

Also in that recent TalkSPORT interview, Noel revealed that the band had committed to another tour early on in last year’s trek after witnessing the massive response.

As excitement mounts, fans have discussed the possibility of new material from Oasis, sharing their thoughts on how the setlist might change from 2025, and speculating about a Glastonbury 2027 slot (which Emily Eavis has now shot down). There have also been warnings about scams already being established for the ticket sale.

The Live ’27 announcement follows the release of the new documentary film Don’t Look Back In Anger, which arrived in cinemas on September 9. In a four-and-a-half-star review, NME described the movie as “masterfully done, with moments of irreverence and intense passion burning throughout”.

NME spoke to Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight about his work on the big-screen project, as well as the film’s directors, Will Southern and Dylan Lovelace.
