OASIS fans’ dream of a Knebworth return looks set to come true in 2027 with VIP tickets set to “go on sale”.
The rumour mill has been swirling for months that the Gallagher brothers will revisit the site of their iconic 90s shows after healing their 16 year feud and completing a mammoth stadium tour last year.
Now, premium ticket site Premier Events — which sold exclusive tickets for the band’s tour last year — has listed a Knebworth show on its site, writing: “OASIS LIVE ’27 COMING SOON…”
Scroll down and the site answers a series of questions, pre-empting what fans will no doubt be asking.
One of which is whether the band will tour again next year.
It says: “Yes. Although not official, according to our sources, THIS IS HAPPENING!”
The site adds that Knebworth and Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium are under consideration. Both would make sense, given Liam and Noel are diehard City fans and played the club’s former home Maine Road the same year as Knebworth.
A rep for the band declined to comment.
Last year, prior to Oasis’ reunion shows, Liam toured in support of the band’s debut album Definitely Maybe’s 30th anniversary.
A return to Knebworth this year would have been a natural follow on to mark the gigs’ 30th year milestone.
Some 250,000 fans watched the band play two raucous sets over a weekend in August in 1996.
Noel declared from the stage: “This is history, this is history, right here, right now. This is history.”
He certainly didn’t let the scale of the moment overwhelm him.
Reflecting on the mood in camp prior to taking the stage, he said: “Before starting one of the greatest concerts of all time, we didn’t gather together.
“I was smoking a cigarette, Liam was drinking a beer. Someone came up and said: ‘Come on, it’s now.’ We went on stage, we played, and we left. There was no ‘let’s form a circle, let’s pray.’”
The band were joined by a stellar supporting cast on both dates.
On the Saturday, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Ocean Colour Scene, Manic Street Preachers and The Bootleg Beatles performed.
While the following day, The Charlatans, The Manics, Kula Shaker, Cast and Dreadzone appeared.
Knebworth remains a popular gig destination. This year heavy metal stalwarts Iron Maiden are hosting their own bumper festival to celebrate 50 years of the band.
Last year Oasis officially returned to the stage for the first time in 16 years as Liam and Noel buried the hatchet after a bitter falling out in 2009 at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
The sold-out stadium run was the tour of the year and the brothers put a united front on for the duration, defying the naysayers.
Liam seemingly confirmed Oasis would be back for more during one of their Wembley Stadium gigs in October.
Before Champagne Supernova closed the band’s set, Liam praised fans for making the comeback happen and told them there was more to come.
He said: “I wanna thank you lot for keeping the faith and putting this band back on the f**king map. Champagne Supernova. See you next year!”
