Oasis promoter secures Knebworth licence amid 2027 tour rumours
The band are rumoured to be continuing their reunion with massive gigs next summer
SJM Concerts, the promoter for Oasis, have secured a licence to hold gigs at Knebworth amid rumours that the band will return there for a residency next summer.
As BBC News report, North Hertfordshire Council has granted the company a premises licence for Knebworth House, the site of the band’s legendary 1996 gigs, which celebrate their 30th anniversary in just a few days.
The licence remains in place indefinitely, and allows concerts for crowds up to 125,000 people.
The news comes after it was reported that the Gallaghers are set to continue their reunion tour and announce a set of massive 2027 gigs in the UK and Europe.
The band’s hugely anticipated comeback tour began last summer. It kicked off in Cardiff before a subsequent homecoming at Heaton Park and a run of shows at Wembley Stadium. Dates in the Far East, Australia and South America followed.
After a British peer claimed the band were playing Knebworth this summer before backtracking, new reports suggested that the band will return to the site of their most famous gigs as part of a new slate of 2027 shows.
A source told the Manchester Evening News that 12 gigs were planned for Manchester’s Etihad Stadium, home to the Gallaghers’ beloved Manchester City. “It will be 12 nights at the Etihad Stadium across May and June. It’s just massive for Manchester and for the local economy,” a source said.
They added: “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.”
Elsewhere, Oasis’ 2025 reunion tour is being immortalised in a new documentary. Don’t Look Back in Anger, created by Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, will open in IMAX and cinemas this September before arriving on Hulu and Disney+ later this year. Its first trailer dropped last week.
