Noel Gallagher has done what Noel Gallagher does best — answering a question about a possible Oasis reunion tour with a cryptic non-answer that has fans reading between the lines. In a call-in chat on England’s talkSPORT this week, the guitarist-songwriter floated the idea that a second round of dates could be coming in summer 2027.
When co-host Andy Goldstein asked whether fans should start saving up for Oasis tickets — possibly for a return to Knebworth, a persistent rumor — Gallagher gave his most Gallagher answer yet, deflecting onto younger brother and vocalist Liam before dropping the tease that has set the Britpop world buzzing.
“Let’s put it this way: there’s no football tournament next year, so we’ve got to do something in the summer, right?”
Is Round Two Happening?
Gallagher’s comments arrive amid a swirl of speculation about a sequel to Oasis’ triumphant 2025 reunion tour, which delivered 41 sold-out shows across Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Australia. The band has not officially confirmed any new dates, and a spokesperson had no comment when reached by Billboard.
Much of the talk centers on Knebworth, the English estate where Oasis played to 250,000 people over two nights in 1996 — one of the greatest triumphs of their career. Gallagher leaned into the mystery when told that Liam had recently quit social media. “Oh, well, then there must be something happening,” he said.
Liam, for his part, has sent mixed signals. In late August he posted a characteristically blunt “I’m out of here” message to fans — a day after tweeting a not-so-coded plea to his brother to “announce the tour.” Last month he had thrown cold water on the chatter entirely, writing that a second run was “not happening.” It is far from the first time Liam has made a seemingly definitive, contradictory statement about more dates.
Meanwhile, Oasis fans won’t have to wait long for their next fix of the band: the reunion tour documentary “Don’t Look Back in Anger” hits IMAX screens on Sept. 11 before streaming on Hulu and Disney+ later this year.
Why It Matters
Oasis reuniting at all was one of the biggest stories in modern music — a band that spent years trading insults reuniting for a record-breaking tour in 2025. For millions of fans who missed out or want a second helping, the prospect of another run in 2027 is enormous news. Even a cryptic Noel Gallagher hint is enough to send ticket dreams soaring. Whether or not the tour materializes, the back-and-forth between the brothers is pure, endlessly shareable Oasis — and proof the band’s hold on pop culture has not loosened.
