Oasis tipped for 12‑night Etihad residency

Time Out and Rolling Stone UK reported on July 8 that Oasis are being tipped for another large-scale run of shows in 2027, extending the band’s reunion beyond the dates already played. Both outlets said the plans under discussion include a major UK and European tour anchored by a long Manchester stand. (timeout.com) The biggest reported element is a 12-night residency at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium. Time Out said the mooted dates would fall in May and June 2027, while Rolling Stone UK said the Manchester homecoming is central to the latest wave of tour speculation. (timeout.com) (rollingstone.co.uk) Liam Gallagher added to the talk on July 8 when he pushed back on the idea that any further Oasis dates would amount to a goodbye lap. Far Out reported that, when asked if the shows sounded like a farewell tour, Gallagher replied online: “ITS THE OPPOSITE OF A FAREWELL TOUR.” ### Where is the 12-night Etihad story coming from? (timeout.com) Time Out’s July 8 report said sources were pointing to a 12-show Manchester residency, with the possibility of more dates being discussed. The outlet framed the Etihad run as the clearest recurring detail in the current reporting around a 2027 extension. (timeout.com) Rolling Stone UK matched that reporting a day earlier, saying Oasis were expected to announce a major 2027 UK and European tour and that the Etihad residency was part of the same picture. NME also reported that the band were rumoured to be preparing a 12-night Manchester homecoming. (faroutmagazine.co.uk) ### Are Knebworth dates part of the same plan? Knebworth has been named alongside Manchester in multiple reports published this week. Time Out said there was “fierce speculation” about a return to the Hertfordshire site 30 years after Oasis’ 1996 Knebworth shows, while Rolling Stone UK said a Knebworth return was central to the rumours. (timeout.com) Radio X said the reported 2027 plans also extend beyond Britain, with mainland European dates under discussion. Its report cited talk of stops including Rome after Oasis’ 2025 reunion run did not include mainland Europe. ### What has Liam Gallagher actually said? (rollingstone.co.uk) Liam Gallagher’s clearest recent comment was his rejection of the “farewell tour” label. Far Out said he described the idea as the opposite of that, in a social media response published on July 9. Earlier reporting had already established that 2026 was not expected to bring more Oasis dates. The Standard reported in December 2025 that Gallagher had ruled out Oasis shows in 2026, leaving 2027 as the period now being discussed in the latest reports. (timeout.com) ### Has Oasis confirmed any of this? No official Oasis tour announcement for 2027 appears in the reports cited so far. (radiox.co.uk) The current state of play is that several music and entertainment outlets are carrying similar details — Manchester, Knebworth and European dates — but all are still describing the plans as rumoured or expected rather than confirmed. (faroutmagazine.co.uk) Any next step is likely to be a formal announcement from the band or its representatives. Until then, the most concrete public signals are the repeated reports of a 12-night Etihad residency and Gallagher’s July 8 message that any new dates would be “the opposite of a farewell tour.” (timeout.com) (rollingstone.co.uk) (standard.co.uk)
