Oasis are expected to announce a 2027 tour at 4pm BST today (Monday 14 September), after a drone display over Manchester’s Etihad Campus spelled out the date and time last Thursday. Google searches for “Oasis tour” have jumped 5,000% in the past week as fans try to work out what Liam and Noel Gallagher are planning next.
The band have been posting cryptic Instagram clips, and the drone show, soundtracked by songs left off last year’s Live ’25 set, has sent speculation into overdrive. That reunion run, which closed with the final Wembley shows, sold out at speed. Oasis were already named the most-wanted 2027 reunion act in a Fanatix poll of 4,002 fans, taking 18% of the vote, and have even overtaken Harry Styles as the male act most fancied to perform the next James Bond theme.
Nothing is confirmed until 4pm, but rumoured UK and Ireland stops lean heavily on the band’s Northern identity. Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, Heaton Park, Newcastle’s St. James’ Park, Dublin’s Croke Park, Glasgow’s Celtic Park and London’s Wembley Stadium have all been drawn into the chatter, after five teaser videos last week pointed towards Glasgow, Manchester, Munich, Barcelona and Paris.
European dates are also being talked about in Rome, Paris, Barcelona and Milan. Leaked schedules point to a run in May, coinciding with Noel’s 60th birthday. Hotel rooms around rumoured Celtic Park nights have already seen a 471% price surge on some dates, with two star rooms jumping from about £42 to £240. Ticket on sale details have not been published.
Demand is already being compared with last year’s scramble, when an estimated 14 million people tried to buy tickets and dynamic pricing more than doubled some face value prices. Fans spent hours in Ticketmaster queues, only to be kicked out as bots. SeatPick had predicted a Monday presale if dates dropped earlier in the week, with general sale typically following four to seven days after an announcement.
Oasis fan Beth Surridge, from Northamptonshire, told SeatPick the “pure stress” of trying to get tickets for last year’s UK tour. “I was actually in Portugal on holiday when the tickets went on sale, so the night before I set up six phones, all ready to join the waiting room at 8am the next morning,” she said. “When 8am came around, it was pure stress! Only two of the six devices actually managed to get through to the queue, while the others were stuck in the queue purely for Ticketmaster itself.”
She said the waiting room lasted around an hour, then one device booted her out for looking like a bot. “That eventually got me through for Manchester, and then I spent another hour and a half switching between hospitality and general admission tickets. Every time I got to the payment stage, it would say the payment had failed and send me straight back to the ticket selection. Eventually I managed to get through with hospitality tickets. In total, the whole process took around two and a half hours. Most people I know either completely failed to get tickets or spent seven or eight hours stuck in the queue.”
Gilad Zilberman, Co-Founder of SeatPick, said rumours of a 2027 Oasis tour are “inescapable on social media right now” and that preparation is the difference between getting in and getting nowhere. As soon as dates drop, fans should check whether they have presale access through a credit card, the artist mailing list or the venue itself, then work out which platform is selling tickets and create an account immediately so they can join the queue, or the waiting room if there is one. Many platforms cap purchases at 4 to 6 tickets per person, which matters if you are buying for a larger group.
Do not refresh your browser. The platform will refresh the queue for you, and hitting reload can dump you back to the start. Stick to one device and one tab as well. Queuing on multiple phones or browsers on the same network can look like bot activity and get you removed completely. Some fans find a phone more reliable, because ticketing apps and a 4G or 5G connection can beat a slow home network.
