Oasis Knebworth 2027 Tickets Go on Sale as Final Dates Added
Tickets for Oasis's highly anticipated 2027 reunion tour went on sale today, Friday, September 25, with fans scrambling to secure seats for what promises to be one of the biggest concert events of the decade. The band has added two final dates at Knebworth House in Hertfordshire—September 25 and 26, 2027—bringing their total residency to six nights. This triples the number of shows from their iconic 1996 run at the same venue.
The additional dates were announced earlier this week due to "phenomenal demand" during the ticket registration window, according to promoters Live Nation and SJM. The extra shows also include additional stops in Rome and Munich, taking the total Oasis Live '27 tour to 42 dates across the UK, Europe, and the US. Promoters have confirmed that no further dates will be added.
Tickets are not available through general sale. Instead, fans who registered before the September 17 deadline will receive unique, non-transferable codes granting access to timed purchase windows running from September 25 to 27. Ticketmaster has issued warnings about scams after social media was flooded with fraudulent offers following the first sale window.
Standard UK ticket prices are fixed between £71.50 and £266.60 including fees. For Knebworth, general admission starts at £170.50, while front-standing tickets cost from £203.50. Official resale will be available through Ticketmaster and Twickets closer to the tour, with UK resale tickets sold at the original price paid. However, unofficial resale sites are already listing tickets at inflated prices, with some general admission tickets appearing on Viagogo for over £500 and front-standing tickets exceeding £900.
New Logistics and Camping Options
This year's Knebworth shows will feature several firsts. A purpose-built camping village will be available for the first time in the venue's history, and Great British Railways will provide late-night trains to London King's Cross until 1:30am each night. Grandstand hospitality seating and the venue's biggest accessible viewing platform ever will also be introduced. Fans are being advised not to drive to Knebworth due to notorious traffic congestion, and to use public transport options including rail and coach services.
A Historic Return to Knebworth
The 2027 concerts mark a monumental return to the site of Oasis's legendary 1996 performances, where 125,000 fans attended each of two nights. That event became a defining moment in Britpop history, with support acts including The Charlatans, The Prodigy, Manic Street Preachers, and The Chemical Brothers. Now, more than three decades later, the Gallagher brothers are set to recreate that magic on an even grander scale.
If all six Knebworth shows sell out at full capacity, Oasis could sell 750,000 tickets at the venue alone, making it the world's fourth most-attended concert series at a single venue, behind only Taylor Swift, Shakira, and Coldplay. The 2027 tour follows the band's successful 2025 reunion, which saw them play 41 shows across the UK and Ireland, including seven nights at Wembley Stadium.
The reunion itself was a surprise to many, given the brothers' infamous feud that led to the band's split in 2009. Liam and Noel Gallagher have put aside their differences for what has become one of the most lucrative reunions in music history. The 2025 tour grossed an estimated £400 million, and the 2027 extension is expected to surpass that figure.
Richard Ashcroft has been confirmed as the support act for the Knebworth dates. The shows are scheduled for September 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, and 26, 2027.
What This Means for Live Music
Oasis's Knebworth residency highlights a broader trend in the live music industry: the rise of mega-residencies by legacy acts. Artists like Taylor Swift, Coldplay, and now Oasis are increasingly opting for multiple nights at a single venue rather than extensive touring, reducing logistical costs while maximizing revenue through heightened demand and scarcity.
The ballot-based ticketing system, while intended to prevent scalping, has drawn criticism for its complexity and the anxiety it creates among fans. Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model, which adjusts prices based on demand, has also been a point of contention, though Oasis has opted for fixed pricing across the tour. This approach may set a precedent for other artists seeking to balance fairness with profitability.
The environmental impact of such massive events is another consideration. With 750,000 fans expected to descend on Knebworth over six nights, carbon emissions from travel and waste will be significant. The introduction of camping facilities and late-night trains may help mitigate some of this impact by reducing the need for car travel.
For now, fans who secured codes are focused on securing their place at what could be the defining concert event of 2027. As one fan wrote on social media, "No Oasis code today so far, think it's going to be a very looooong weekend…" The wait, it seems, is far from over.
