Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium is poised to welcome Oasis in 2027 with a staggering residency lined-up for the British music legends.
The historic tie between the Gallagher brothers and Manchester City Football Club has stood as a core element of modern rock lore for over three decades, with both Noel and Liam having spent their careers acting as unofficial global ambassadors for the sky blue shirt.
The upcoming 2027 tour represents a full-circle homecoming, arriving exactly two years after the initial Oasis Live ’25 reunion tour that shattered records. For stadium organisers, transforming the Etihad Stadium into an elite musical residency is a major logistical milestone that caps off years of infrastructure planning and development.
The venue’s readiness to handle live music once more follows a temporary live entertainment hiatus to accommodate major expansion works on the Etihad’s North Stand, resuming full capacity hosting earlier this summer.

Now, according to The Sun, Oasis will return to the stage next year, in a schedule that is set to include a 12-date residency at Manchester City’s iconic home of the Etihad Stadium, plus a run of six concerts at Knebworth.
The report quotes one insider, who further reveals, “Oasis’ schedule is booked. It’s 12 nights at the Etihad over six weeks starting in June. They will then play Knebworth six times over a three-week period in September. Dates could be added but for now that’s the master plan.”
Another source went on to explain, “Noel [Gallagher] and Liam [Gallagher] always planned for the tour to have a second run.
“There were discussions about announcing [it] during the World Cup because of the connection between Wonderwall and the Three Lions in this tournament.
“But they’ve settled on August. It’ll give the country something to shout about — whether we’re celebrating or commiserating.”
A calculated decision to delay the official public announcement until August matches a clever marketing strategy tied directly to the emotional cycle of the nation’s sporting summer.
Despite England’s ongoing matches at the FIFA World Cup seeing legendary track Wonderwall adopted as the squad’s post-match anthem, tour planners have seemingly chosen an August launch to give the news undivided media attention.
With ticketing registration expected to roll out during the final quarter of the year, a 12-night residency will likely inject tens of millions of pounds into the Greater Manchester economy, cementing the Etihad Stadium’s status as a premier hub for both elite sport and culture events.
