Noel Gallagher has suggested that Oasis could return to the stage during the summer of 2027.
With reports claiming the Britpop icons may reveal their next run of concerts within days, the Wonderwall songwriter appeared on talkSPORT’s Drive programme on Wednesday (02.09.26), where he responded to the growing speculation.
Asked about the rumours by host Andy Goldstein, Noel laughed: “It’s Liam, isn’t it?"
Noel then joked: “He’s not into it. He’s not into Oasis anymore.”
Goldstein told him that Liam Gallagher, his brother and the band’s lead singer, had playfully threatened to step away from social media.
Noel responded: “Well, then there must be something happening."
He then offered another clue: “Let’s put it this way: there’s no football tournament on next year, so we’ve got to do something in the summer, right?”
Speculation about another tour has continued since the band completed their sold out Oasis Live '25 comeback concerts last year, marking their first performances together in 16 years. Neither Gallagher brother has done much to shut down the rumours.
The Daily Mail has reported that the pair will officially unveil their latest tour plans next week.
An insider told the publication: “The new tour has been in the making for some time and now they’re ready to get going with it.
“Unlike last time there’s not such a panic about whether Liam and Noel will get on, there isn’t the drama around it. It’s just a case of them looking forward to getting on stage.
“Oasis-mania is coming back!”
The latest claims follow speculation that Oasis could revisit Knebworth, where they staged two historic concerts in 1996, for an unprecedented run of six performances.
Reports have also suggested that the band may play 12 dates at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium in their hometown.
Another insider previously told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: "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."
Before their comeback tour, Oasis had not shared a stage since 2009, when Noel dramatically departed after an argument with Liam at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Interest in the reunion dates became so intense that Ticketmaster struggled to manage the demand. The situation prompted a consumer protection investigation and led the ticketing company to revise its sales procedures.

Mark E Smith’s fiancée and final manager has criticised The Fall’s upcoming “final” album, ‘Post Script’, calling it a “cash grab” and “ethically wrong”.
The nine song record arrives through Cog Sinister on October 2. It features unused vocals Smith recorded in the studio between 2001 and 2014, with former Fall members and longtime collaborators Ed Blaney and Simon “Ding” Archer adding new music after his death.
When ‘Post Script’ was announced in June, reports suggested the recordings came from an album The Fall had been working on before Smith died in January 2018.
Pamela Vander has since told The Guardian that Smith recorded none of the vocals after the release of ‘New Facts Emerge’ in 2017. She says he had chosen that record to be The Fall’s last album.
“They’re selling it as ‘the final album’ so people will think Mark made it on his deathbed, but none of it [vocally] was made after ‘New Facts Emerge’,” she said.
“I have Mark’s actual last recordings – he was working on a cover of Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’ – but by the time of his death he had made the decision that ‘New Facts Emerge’ was the final album, made by the longest-lasting line-up of The Fall, who were with Mark for 10 years.
“So I don’t think anyone else should override a decision he made when he was alive.”
