THE BLUE AND WHITE

On September 14th at 11:00 EST, “the most damaging pop cultural force in British history” declared itself fit for purpose, announcing the second tour since their reunion. Oasis Live ’27 is official. The announcement comes about nine days after the world premiere of the documentary following Oasis’ meteoric rise in popularity around the time of their first reunion tour, which I also wrote an article about just under a year ago. The premiere also marked the first public appearance for Liam and Noel Gallagher together since the end of Oasis Live ’25.

As an avid fan, I can confirm that I am feeling the hype leading up to these dates as well as being a part of the ticket frenzy that is about to ensue. I was lucky enough to attend their first Toronto night on their Live ’25 tour, but I am hoping to score tickets to one of the nights at Knebworth in the UK, to possibly feel what it might have been like to be among the 250,000 at the most famous Oasis gig of all time. I’m also hoping for a setlist that incorporates some of their more underrated tracks. While anthems like Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger and Champagne Supernova are essential, I’m looking for deeper cuts like Be Here Now, Gas Panic, Go Let it Out, from their later albums as well. 

The band is also currently without a permanent drummer. Last time out, they toured with Joey Waronker, who wasn’t bad at all. However, it’ll be interesting to see whether they stick with Joey or pivot to one of their old drummers such as Zak Starkey, son of Ringo Starr (who needs no introduction). The band plans to tour the UK, Ireland, the US, as well as certain countries in Europe over the summer of 2027, including 11 nights in their home city of Manchester, at the home stadium of Manchester City who Liam and Noel both support. The four nights at Knebworth are especially significant for people who lived through Oasis mania in the 1990s, where 1 in 20 Britons tried to get tickets for the 1996 festival at Knebworth. Reliving those gigs, and maybe experiencing the feeling for the first time could be a significant nostalgia trip for many Oasis fans.

Registration closes Thursday at 11 a.m. ET, and with no general on-sale this time, that window is the only guaranteed chance to score tickets. Live ’25 drew over 14 million ticket requests in a single weekend, so the scramble will be brutal regardless of where you’re buying from. Thirty-one years on from the biggest gig Britain has ever thrown, the Gallaghers are betting that the craze still holds. If Live ’25 was the reunion, Live ’27 is the encore, and I am excited for it.
