Oasis are plotting a spectacular 12-night residency at the home of Liam and Noel Gallagher's cherished Manchester City this summer as part of a major new tour expected to be unveiled within weeks, the MEN understands. It marks exactly a year since the monumental Oasis Live '25 comeback tour launched with an unforgettable opening night in Cardiff. Now, the Etihad Stadium is preparing to host an epic 2027 homecoming for Oasis, following their record-shattering reunion tour of 2025, according to multiple sources.

Additional dates are expected to be confirmed, with speculation mounting over a return to Knebworth, while bookmakers are already suggesting it's highly likely the band will perform at Glastonbury next year.

The Etihad Stadium welcomed back live music this summer following a three-year hiatus while construction work to expand the North Stand was completed. It served as a magnificent backdrop for two major artists this summer, with The Weeknd and subsequently Take That performing to tens of thousands of fans this June and July. Now, officials are believed to be preparing for an even bigger 2027 with the return of Oasis to perform on the sacred turf of the Blues.

Man City's fixture list for 2026/27 sees their final home match at the Etihad Stadium scheduled for Saturday 23 May against Aston Villa, while the last day of the Premier League season falls on Sunday 30 May, with City travelling to Sunderland.

According to several sources close to the club and promoters, 12 nights could be confirmed later this summer. The announcement is expected to trigger an enormous scramble among fans desperate to secure tickets the moment the news is officially revealed.

A music industry insider told the MEN: "It will be 12 nights at the Etihad Stadium across May and June. It's just massive for Manchester and for the local economy.

"They could even add more dates to that as well; there's talk of up to 20. The wider tour is also going to include a return to Knebworth."

A luxury city centre hotel has also reportedly been fully booked from the end of May through June to accommodate the band and their touring entourage. This appears to lend further weight to the suggestion that dates spanning May and June have already been secured for the tour.

The unveiling of dates for Oasis Live '25 triggered one of the most extraordinary ticket sales in music history, as fans desperately scrambled to secure their place.

This weekend marks the one-year anniversary of Oasis' triumphant return to the live stage. On Friday, July 4, 2025, they delivered a spine-tingling opening night of their world tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

On Friday morning, Liam stoked the flames further when he jovially responded to supporters with football banter surrounding the England v Mexico match.

He replied to a fan: "You say that now but soon as we announce the gig nxt wk I mean nxt year I mean happy Christmas you'll be running around like headless chickens trying to get a ticket so stop acting tuff."

This prompted numerous fans to speculate that an announcement could be imminent as early as next week. Rumours have been swirling for some time that the new tour will be revealed in September - dovetailing neatly with the film premiere on September 11.
