Oasis have finally announced their long anticipated Live ‘27 tour – and fans are already debating about whether we can expect any new music on the way.
Rumours of a new tour started from the moment their mammoth Live ‘25 tour came to a close at the end of last year, and got more momentum in recent weeks, when the band released their new documentary Don’t Look Back In Anger in cinemas, and followed it up with a teaser campaign that culminated in a drone show over the Etihad.
Last night, (Monday September 14), they confirmed plans for 38 shows kicking off next May, with dates opening with five nights at Glasgow’s Celtic Park, before an impressive 11 gigs at The Etihad in Manchester, followed by shows across Europe.
In August, there are three shows in Boston and three in Las Vegas, and the tour then wraps up with two stops at Slane Castle in Ireland and four at Knebworth.
In an interview soon after the announcement, Noel Gallagher revealed the precise moment when the band knew that they’d be following up Live ‘25 with another tour, and fans have already started celebrating the new dates online, trying to work out the setlist, and debate whether a Glastonbury slot could be on the cards.
Another thing widely spoken about online is the chances of Oasis dropping any new material to accompany the upcoming tour.
The Britpop legends haven’t released a new album since 2008’s ‘Dig Out Your Soul’, although have regularly distanced themselves from the rumours that new music is on the way.
In a TalkSPORT interview last night, Noel bluntly said that “there won’t be any new music” to accompany the album. This echoed the comments made by Liam earlier this summer, when he said on X that the pressure for new music to meet fans’ expectations made the idea too off-putting, and he wasn’t “prepared for the criticism” if it didn’t sell 100million copies “in the first hour”.
Despite that, some fans aren’t fully convinced that the Gallaghers have written out the idea of new music all together.
