Oasis reportedly plan 12 Etihad shows

Reports published on July 9 pointed to Oasis planning another large-scale live run in 2027, centered on Manchester and Knebworth. City Xtra reported a 12-date residency at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, while Oxford Mail and Wales Online carried matching details about a wider proposed schedule. (ca.news.yahoo.com) Rolling Stone UK said the plan being discussed also includes a UK and European tour in 2027. None of the reports cited an official announcement from the band. (oxfordmail.co.uk) ### Where did the 12-Etihad figure come from? City Xtra reported that Oasis are preparing a 12-date run at the Etihad in summer 2027. A Yahoo pickup of the City Xtra story said the schedule links a six-week block in Manchester with a later Knebworth run. (rollingstone.co.uk) Oxford Mail published the same core claim on July 8, describing the proposed schedule as 12 nights at the Etihad over six weeks starting in June. That report said the information came from a music industry insider speaking to The Sun. ### What are outlets saying about Knebworth? Oxford Mail said the reported plan would then move to Knebworth for six dates across a three-week stretch in September. (ca.news.yahoo.com) Rolling Stone UK also said the rumored 2027 run includes a return to Knebworth as part of a larger UK and European itinerary. Wales Online said reports of the large 2027 dates were gathering pace and noted Liam Gallagher had been engaging with the speculation. The outlet’s report matched the broader outline carried elsewhere: Manchester first, then Knebworth, with additional dates beyond the UK expected. (oxfordmail.co.uk) ### Is anything official from Oasis yet? Rolling Stone UK said the reports remain unconfirmed. The coverage it cited referred to a rumored tour rather than announced dates, venues or ticket details. No official Oasis tour page, promoter statement or venue announcement appeared in the reports surfaced on July 9. (oxfordmail.co.uk) The available stories attribute the schedule to unnamed insiders or to earlier tabloid reporting, not to the band or a ticketing partner. ### Why is the Etihad part of the story? Manchester’s Etihad Stadium is both a major concert venue and the home of Manchester City, the club long associated with Liam and Noel Gallagher. (msn.com) City Xtra framed the residency as a homecoming run, and other reports described it as a Manchester centerpiece for the proposed 2027 dates. The numbers being cited are unusually large for one venue. (rollingstone.co.uk) Oxford Mail described the proposed schedule as potentially record-breaking, reflecting the scale of 12 stadium nights in one city. ### What should fans watch for next? (ca.news.yahoo.com) Rolling Stone UK said the reported plan covers a 2027 UK and European run, but the stories available on July 9 did not include confirmed on-sale dates or a formal routing. City Xtra and Oxford Mail both pointed to a June start in Manchester and a September stretch at Knebworth if the reported schedule is finalized. Any next step is likely to come through Oasis, a promoter, Manchester City’s Etihad channels or ticketing platforms once dates are formally announced. (ca.news.yahoo.com) Until then, the 12-Etihad and six-Knebworth figures remain reported plans rather than confirmed bookings. (oxfordmail.co.uk)
