Liam Gallagher denies Oasis reunion dates are a 'farewell tour'

Liam Gallagher has pushed back on the idea that any future Oasis dates would amount to a goodbye. In posts reported on July 9, Gallagher said rumored new shows would be “the opposite of a farewell tour” and later wrote that the band were “OFF A TOUR,” comments that addressed speculation without confirming any dates. The remarks landed after several British outlets revived reports of a possible 2027 run for Oasis. Time Out said sources had pointed to a 12-night residency at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium, while Rolling Stone UK reported rumors of a wider UK and European tour that could include a return to Knebworth. Neither report cited an official announcement from the band. (faroutmagazine.co.uk) ### What exactly did Liam Gallagher say? Far Out reported that Gallagher responded to online speculation by saying any new Oasis shows would be “the opposite of a farewell tour.” The same report said he later posted that the band were “OFF A TOUR,” wording that suggested the reunion activity would not be framed as a final lap. (timeout.com) Those comments stopped short of confirming venues, dates or ticket details. Far Out’s report presented them as a response to fan chatter rather than a formal band statement. ### Where did the 2027 rumors come from? Time Out reported on July 7 that Oasis were being linked to a 12-night Etihad Stadium residency in Manchester in 2027. (faroutmagazine.co.uk) Its account said the speculation gathered pace before the band had fully concluded their 2025 world tour. Rolling Stone UK reported on July 8 that the same rumor cycle also included a large UK and European tour and a possible Knebworth return. (faroutmagazine.co.uk) NME and other UK outlets echoed similar claims, but those reports likewise described the plans as unconfirmed. ### Does this mean Oasis have announced more shows? (timeout.com) No official Oasis announcement was reflected in the reports surfaced on July 9. The available coverage points to Gallagher’s social-media comments and to media reports citing sources or industry chatter, not to a band-issued schedule. That distinction matters because Gallagher has previously answered fan questions online in ways that fueled speculation without producing an immediate formal rollout. (rollingstone.co.uk) Search results from late 2025 and early 2026 show him ruling out a 2026 tour and indicating that any return would be later. ### Why are Manchester and Knebworth central to the talk? (timeout.com) Manchester is Oasis’ home city, and the Etihad rumor has been described as a homecoming residency. Time Out’s report said the outline involved 12 nights at the stadium, a scale that would make it the centerpiece of any 2027 return. Knebworth carries its own history for the band. (hotpress.com) Rolling Stone UK said the rumored plans included a possible return to the venue, which remains closely associated with Oasis’ 1990s live peak. ### What should fans watch for next? Any next step is likely to be an official announcement covering dates, venues and ticketing rather than another round of social-media replies. (timeout.com) As of July 9, the most specific public reports remained Time Out’s Etihad outline and Rolling Stone UK’s account of possible Knebworth and European dates. (rollingstone.co.uk)
