Oasis confirm 2027 tour with dazzling drone display
Nation Cymru staff
According to reports, Oasis have teased news of a tour in 2027 – with a huge drone light display beamed from above the Etihad Stadium in Manchester overnight.
The iconic black and white logo of the Britpop-era defining band lit up the Manchester skies at 11pm, according to Manchester Evening News.
Dianne Bourne writes: “The jaw-dropping display of drones was 120 metres long – the size of a football pitch – and emerged from the ground of Man City’s women’s team, the Joie Stadium. It rose above the ground, next to the Etihad Stadium, where it stunned onlookers and motorists for a good ten minutes before fizzling away again.
“The band, fronted by reunited brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, have been sending out tour teasers for the past week on social media sending fans into overdrive. Each teaser has included clues to a different city or venue – leading many fans to believe that the 2027 tour announcement must be imminent.”
While the drone display came just days after the release of their new highly-anticipated career-spanning documentary, fans are convinced this is a tour teaser with its simple design of the band’s logo followed by the date of 14.9.26 at 4pm BST.

Manchester Evening News adds: “Music industry sources told the MEN back in July that Oasis were plotting up to 12 nights at the Etihad Stadium, as well as an epic return to Knebworth park for a record-breaking run of shows.
“However the first of the band’s teasers heavily suggested that Glasgow’s Celtic Park will see the opening gigs next summer.
“Other cities and venues set to feature on the 2027 tour according to the video teasers include Munich, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris and Rome. Fans are also speculating that an American leg for gigs wil include Boston and Las Vegas.”
Welsh fans can seemingly breathe a sigh of relief, as Cardiff happened to be among the teasers, although some wonder if the teasers are for the documentary and this could maybe suggest an album release date.

All will be revealed.
Documentary
Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher have been described as “emotional” and “incredibly candid” while discussing their reunion in the new documentary Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger.
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, which director Will Lovelace said was “surprising” while speaking at the premiere for the upcoming film.
“We did an interview with them towards the end of the film, and they were incredibly candid and that surprised us,” Lovelace said.
“I think how emotional they were, how candid they were in that interview… But they’re who you hope they’d be as well.
“They’re still Liam and Noel.”
Film director Lovelace also reflected on the relationship between the previously estranged brothers, and said: “They’d been apart for a long time.
“That rehearsal section that started off last year was really important to capture – it was the first time they’d been in a room together.
“By the end of that, we still didn’t really know exactly how that relationship was going to play out over the next few months.”
Co-director Dylan Southern told Press Association that the pair “weren’t quite sure” where Liam and Noel stood with each other by the end of rehearsals.
“But as soon as they started playing (on tour), the crowd played such an integral part in their reconciliation.
“It’d be hard to stand on stage receiving that much love and having that much of an amazing experience and not having that bring you closer together.”
Lovelace added: “When you saw them go on stage in Cardiff, I think that was the moment where you realised the crowd and their feelings were going to play a big part.”
Southern and Lovelace looked sharp in matching black suits and white shirts, and were joined at the Leicester Square premiere on Monday by award-winning writer and filmmaker Knight.
Liam and Noel also attended and strutted onto the black carpet in front of many screaming fans, who they amped up by raising their arms and gesturing enthusiastically.
They also posed for photos together, with Liam hiding behind a pair of sunglasses and embracing his signature style in a navy parka with matching dark blue jeans.
His brother Noel also opted for a casual ensemble with a brown jacket, a blue shirt and jeans.
The Britpop band were joined at the star-studded affair by the likes of Premier League footballer Jack Grealish, comedian Roisin Conaty and new Strictly Come Dancing host Josh Widdicombe.
Others in attendance include three of Liam’s four children Molly, Lennon and Gene, who smiled as they posed for photos with their cousins – Noel’s children Sonny, Donovan and Anais.
The event comes amid several cryptic posts to social media by Oasis, which fans have claimed are hints at tour locations such as Celtic Park and Knebworth.
Rumours of a follow-up to the band’s 2025 reunion tour have been rife in recent weeks, but no dates or venues have been formally announced.
Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger was released in cinemas on September 9 and will also stream on Disney+.
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.
