Noel Gallagher has revealed when Oasis decided to follow up their huge Live ‘25 tour with another run of shows in 2027, and shared whether or not they are sitting on new music.
The Britpop icons confirmed their Live ‘27 tour earlier today (Monday September 14), confirming plans for 38 shows kicking off next May.
Dates open with five nights at Glasgow’s Celtic Park, before an impressive 11 gigs at The Etihad in Manchester, followed by shows across Europe. In August, there are three shows in Boston and three in Las Vegas, and the tour then wraps up with two stops at Slane Castle in Ireland and four at Knebworth.
The announcement comes following their new documentary Don’t Look Back In Anger arriving in cinemas, which was then followed by a teaser campaign that culminated in a drone show over the Etihad.
Now, Noel Gallagher has spoken about when he and brother Liam decided that they wanted to do another tour – revealing that they settled on the idea early into their Live ‘25 tour dates after seeing the massive response from fans.

“It was after the second Wembley show [on July 26 2025],” Noel told TalkSPORT in a new interview. “Nobody really knew what was going to happen or how it was going to go. So we did Cardiff and Manchester, then by the time we got to Wembley, somebody said ‘Well, you know?’ and it was decided we were going to do it.”
“It was all set in motion then,” he added, also sharing that they always knew they would announce shows in “Italy, France, Germany and Spain” because the fans there have “been great with us throughout the years”, but only settled on more UK shows during the Live ’25 dates.
As for the newly announced US shows, the legendary songwriter shared that the two cities lined-up for Live ‘27 were places that they were “meant to do last time, but couldn’t for some reason”.
It was from there, Gallagher explained, that the idea of a Live ’27 tour started to take shape and he found himself asking “what about Knebworth?”, particularly because they were “having such a great time, that why wouldn’t we?”
Also on the TalkSPORT interview, Gallagher was asked if the band had been working on any new music since rejoining – potentially their first since 2008’s ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ – although he was quick to shut down any rumours.
NO I’m just not prepared for the criticism if it doesn’t sell 100 million copies in the 1st hour cure bad breath and constipation for the nation if it doesn’t turn back time for Cher and some other shit let’s just to some gigs and be happy thank you

“There won’t be any new music,” he simply shared, echoing similar statements made by Liam earlier this summer, when he said that the pressure for new music to meet fans’ expectations made the idea too off-putting.
Fans have been quick to share their excitement at the newly announced dates online, although some have been already dreading the process of trying to get their hands on tickets this time around – following a chaotic online queue last time, as well as the controversial use of dynamic pricing.
Oasis have already said that, following the chaotic struggle to get tickets for the first wave of Live ‘25 shows, they will be adopting the same on-sale model they did for their latter Wembley shows – inviting fans to register for the chance to buy tickets.
Fans must register before Thursday (September 17) at 4pm BST / 5pm CEST / 8am PT / 11am ET and can do so here, and those who are successful in the ballot will then be sent a code to access an allocated on-sale window at a specific time.
That on-sale time will take place across Friday 25, Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September in the UK. This registration process is the only way to buy tickets, and standard ticket prices will be fixed between £71.50 and £266.60, including fees.
In a five-star review of the opening night of the Live ’25 tour in Cardiff, NME hailed the show as “a supersonic reunion for a new generation”.
“This is all you ever would have wanted from Oasis in 2025: they look cool, sound fucking amazing, and they want to be here,” it read.
As for the new Don’t Look Back In Anger documentary, NME caught up with creator and writer Steven Knight about the “healing” reunion of the Gallagher brothers, as well as directors Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern about paying tribute to late Stone Roses icon Mani and celebrating the “genius” of Bonehead in the film.
The documentary was given a four-and-a-half star review by NME, which praised it as “masterfully done, with moments of irreverence and intense passion burning throughout.”
