Summary

Oasis has announced a 38-date tour for next year, with performances in the UK, Europe, and America. The tour includes five dates in Glasgow, eleven in Manchester, and four at Knebworth, but notably excludes London despite fans' expectations. This omission has sparked disappointment among London-based fans who view it as a snub, while others argue that the band should prioritize northern cities where they originated.

Story summary

Oasis announced a 38-date tour for 2027, with concerts in Glasgow, Manchester, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston, Las Vegas, Slane Castle, and Knebworth. The band will play five dates in Glasgow, 11 in Manchester, and four at Knebworth, the last being outside London’s M25 boundaries, disappointing many London fans. Ticket registration opened on September 7 with a deadline of September 17, aiming to prevent price surges experienced during their 2025 tour when over 10 million people from 158 countries tried to buy tickets for just 1.4 to 2.2 million available across UK and Ireland dates. Standard ticket prices will range between £71.50 and £266.60, with no dynamic pricing this time around, after previous issues highlighted by the Competition and Markets Authority's investigation into Ticketmaster.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

Narrative

The UK shows are made up of five dates in Glasgow, 11 dates in Manchester and four at Knebworth, 30 years after they played historic two nights at the Hertfordshire venue in 1996. But London fans are disappointed that no specific dates in the capital have been announced. But the nearest gig for Londoners this time round is well beyond the boundaries of the M25 in Knebworth, a 20 to 40 minute journey by train from King's Cross or St Pancras International.
