Liam Gallagher has said that while the upcoming Oasis Live ‘27 shows are not meant to be a “farewell tour”, they could still “be our last” time hitting the road.
The Manchester Britpop icons are heading back on the road next year for stadium shows across the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe and the US, following on from their Live ’25 reunion trek.
Liam and Noel Gallagher had already confirmed five nights at Glasgow’s Celtic Park, an 11-date residency at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium – home to their beloved Manchester City FC – a pair of concerts at Ireland’s Slane Castle, and a four-night return to Knebworth.
Following unprecedented demand for tickets, they have since added more dates to the tour, including an extra two performances at Knebworth taking place on September 25 and 26.
It is still a while until shows kick off, but Oasis have already shared information on transport, camping, hospitality and accessibility plans for their big Knebworth gigs, and Noel has promised that the Live ’27 performances will be “so much better” than the 2025 comeback shows.
Now, Liam has also spoken about what the future holds for the band after the 2027 tour dates wrap up – saying that while it isn’t a “farewell tour”, it may still be their last run of shows.
On X/Twitter, the frontman responded to a fan who had seemingly made peace with the idea that he may not be “lucky” enough to get tickets to Live ‘27, and would be “pleased” for those who do regardless.
“This could be the last time so get involved,” Liam responded in a now-deleted tweet, before following it up by writing: “It isn’t a farewell tour but it still could be our last”.

That uncertainty that there could be more shows after Live ‘27 echoes what Noel said in an interview with TalkSPORT when the tour was first announced. During the interview, he was asked by the host if he could imagine doing anything else as part of Oasis after the new dates wrap up, to which he bluntly replied: “I don’t know”.
Also in that interview, he reflected on how he will be celebrating his 60th birthday during the upcoming tour, and has accepted that while the itinerary is “easier” than his High Flying Birds tours, he has accepted that the band “can’t do it like we did it in the ‘90s”.
“Liam will be off the booze, and I wasn’t for the last tour but I might be for this tour,” he said. “You’ve just got to go to bed early. We can’t do it like we did it in the ‘90s. We can’t even do it like we did it in the 2000s. But you’ve got to pick your battles.”
“These tours are not that gruelling,” he added. “You’re playing them over the weekends, and you generally have the week off. My tours with my band are brutal. You do four or five shows a week… this is like two gigs a week. It’s easy.”
While Noel didn’t seem fully convinced by lining up more mammoth Oasis tour dates after 2027, it is worth noting that he made similar comments about slowing down with touring back in 2015 – saying at the time that he was considering retiring within the next decade.
“Ten years from now I don’t think I’ll be getting on a bus – it’s undignified. But I don’t think I’ll ever stop writing – as long as my brain and bones last out,” he said at the time. “I’ll just have to tailor the touring. It’s not fun being on a bus for six weeks in America. It’s fine when you’re young, but I’m almost 50.”
“The worst thing for me about getting older is the hangovers. Hangovers last for three or four days,” he added. “I haven’t got the stamina for three days at Glastonbury any more, although I did that last year and it was f****** horrific.”
Also in that new interview with TalkSPORT, Noel also revealed that the band had settled on the idea of another tour early into last year’s trek after seeing the massive response.
As excitement mounts, fans have been talking about the possibility of new material from Oasis, sharing their thoughts on how the setlist could change from 2025, and speculating about a Glasto 2027 slot (which Emily Eavis has now shot down). There have also been warnings about scams being put in place already for the ticket sale.
The news of Live ‘27 follows the release of the new documentary film Don’t Look Back In Anger, which arrived in cinemas on September 9. In a four-and-a-half-star review, NME said the movie was “masterfully done, with moments of irreverence and intense passion burning throughout”.
NME spoke to Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight about his work on the big-screen project, and also to the directors of the film, Will Southern and Dylan Lovelace.
