Oasis plan 12-night Etihad 2027 residency

Time Out and Rolling Stone UK reported on July 8 that Oasis are reportedly lining up a 2027 run of UK dates built around Manchester and Knebworth. Both outlets said the plan under discussion centers on a long homecoming stand at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and a return to Knebworth Park, nearly three decades after the band’s best-known shows there. (timeout.com) Neither report cited an official statement from the band. Both framed the plans as unconfirmed. (yahoo.com) ### What exactly is being reported about the Etihad shows? City Xtra reported that Oasis are set for a 12-date residency at the Etihad Stadium in 2027. The outlet said the Manchester run would form the core of the proposed schedule and described the residency as taking place across a six-week block in summer 2027. (rollingstone.co.uk) Yahoo’s pickup of the City Xtra report carried the same outline. Time Out said sources indicated Liam and Noel Gallagher were planning a 12-night residency at the Etihad. Rolling Stone UK also said reports of a 2027 tour pointed to a major homecoming residency at the Manchester venue. (timeout.com) ### How does Knebworth fit into the rumor? Rolling Stone UK reported that the rumored 2027 plans include a return to Knebworth. Time Out said speculation around the tour had focused on both the Manchester residency and Knebworth dates, with the latter carrying added attention because of the site’s place in the band’s live history. LBC reported that the plan being circulated would include six Knebworth concerts after the Etihad run. (yahoo.com) City Xtra also reported six Knebworth dates, describing them as part of the same wider 2027 schedule. ### Where did the story come from? Time Out’s July 8 report said the latest claims followed reports citing sources close to Manchester City FC and promoters. (timeout.com) Rolling Stone UK published a separate July 8 story saying Oasis were reportedly set to announce a large 2027 UK and European tour and repeated the Etihad and Knebworth claims. On July 9, additional outlets including Metro, LBC and regional publishers repeated the same broad outline: Manchester dates at the Etihad, followed by Knebworth, with the scale described as unusually large. (timeout.com) Those follow-up reports did not change the central point that the plans remained unconfirmed. (lbc.co.uk) ### Has Oasis actually announced any of this? As of July 9, no official Oasis announcement was cited in the reports surfaced by Time Out, Rolling Stone UK or City Xtra. Rolling Stone UK’s wording remained that Oasis were “reportedly” set to announce the dates, not that the dates had been confirmed. Time Out likewise presented the information as rumor and said fans were still waiting for formal confirmation. (timeout.com) The distinction matters because several secondary reports moved from “reported” plans to more definitive language. The underlying coverage available on July 9 still pointed back to unnamed sources and to media reports, rather than to a statement from Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher, the band’s representatives or the venues. (metro.co.uk) ### What should readers watch next? The next concrete step is an official announcement from Oasis, the Gallagher brothers, their representatives, or the venues named in the reports. Time Out said ticket talk was still speculative, while Metro reported rumors that tickets could go on sale within weeks, a claim that had not been confirmed by the band as of July 9. (timeout.com) For now, the reported outline is specific: 12 Etihad dates and up to six Knebworth shows in 2027. Until Oasis or the venues publish dates, on-sale details or pricing, the story remains a detailed tour rumor rather than a confirmed live announcement. (rollingstone.co.uk) (timeout.com)
