Oasis Announces Major 38-Date UK, Europe, and US Tour for 2027
Oasis Returns: 2027 Tour Details and Background
Tour Announcement and Ticketing
LONDON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Oasis, the defining rock band of the 1990s Britpop era, announced a 38-date 2027 tour across Britain, Ireland, mainland Europe and the United States on Monday.
To avoid a repeat of a ticketing fiasco when the band's frontmen, the Gallagher brothers, first made a comeback in 2025, fans can register to access a window to buy tickets.
Ticket Pricing and Fan Access
Standard ticket prices for the new tour will be fixed and range between £71.50 ($96.50) and £266.60, promoters said.
Band Statement and Anticipation
In a statement, Oasis said, "Start the celebrations", adding they would "once again return to lift the spirits of the people".
"Come witness the fitness," the statement said. "It shall be a sight to behold."
Tour Schedule and Locations
UK and European Dates
The band, whose hits include "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger", will start with five shows in Glasgow in May before moving to Manchester, their home city in northern England, for 11 dates at the Etihad Stadium.
Dates in Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston, Las Vegas and Slane Castle, Ireland, follow before Oasis finish with four dates in Knebworth, southern England, in September, the location of two concerts in 1996, where they played to a combined 250,000 people.
Oasis: Legacy and Reunion
Band History and Achievements
Oasis were the biggest guitar band of the 1990s. Their debut album "Definitely Maybe" in 1994 was an instant hit. Its follow-up "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" was the decade's biggest selling record.
Gallagher Brothers and Band Split
Tension between Noel Gallagher, the band's main songwriter, and his younger brother, lead singer Liam, led to the band's split in 2009.
Reunion and Fan Response
News in 2024 that the brothers were reuniting led to a frenzy to buy tickets. Thousands of fans endured hours of waiting, only to find ticket prices had jumped when they reached the front of the queue.
But the return to the stage in Cardiff delighted both fans and critics, who said the group sounded as good as it ever had.
Documentary and Media Coverage
A documentary about the reunion tour, called "Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger", was shown at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month.
