Oasis confirm 2027 tour announcement date in drone light show over Manchester

Oasis have confirmed the date of an upcoming tour announcement during a drone light show in Manchester.

The display over the Joie Stadium, home to Manchester City Women, at the Etihad Campus in Manchester on Thursday night saw the band’s logo illuminate before being replaced with the date 14/09/26, and the time 4pm BST.

The band, who reunited for the first time since splitting in 2009 for the successful Live ’25 tour last year, have been dropping hints about tour venues on social media recently.

Liam and Noel Gallagher discussed their reunion in the new documentary Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger, which was released on Wednesday.

The project, written by Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight, is part concert film and part documentary, and follows the band on their reunion tour that began in Cardiff in July last year.

It also features the first joint interviews with Noel and Liam in more than 20 years following their 2009 split.

Other possible locations the band have hinted at include the Etihad Stadium, Celtic Park and Knebworth – where they played to 250,000 people in 1996 during their Britpop heyday

Rumours of a follow-up to the Manchester rockers’ 2025 reunion tour have been rife in recent weeks, but no dates or venues had been formally announced prior to Thursday’s display.

The band have had eight UK number one singles and eight UK number one albums, with Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Roll With It among their best-known hits.
