Liam Gallagher has admitted to misleading Oasis fans about the band’s touring plans, according to a post shared on X.
The confession came after Gallagher had previously hinted that the band’s new tour dates might be their last, sparking concern among fans. One fan pointed out the apparent contradiction, asking Gallagher directly about his earlier comments on the matter.
“Liam, you know you said that it could be the last tour but didn’t you say that this is what you love and as long as you’re alive you’ll keep on doing it forever,” the fan asked.
Gallagher responded candidly, admitting the truth behind his earlier statement.
“I was obviously kidding and trying to get you all to buy lots of tickets,” Gallagher said.
The exchange followed Gallagher’s earlier post stating, “It isn’t a farewell tour but it still could be our last.” Fans will likely be watching closely for any further clarification from the band regarding future tour plans.
Gallagher’s comments land at a moment when Oasis’ touring machine is already running at full speed, giving his “kidding” remark an extra layer of context.
The band has just announced its Live ’27 Tour, a 38-date global run set for 2027 that includes a highly anticipated return to Knebworth, along with stops in Manchester and Glasgow. The announcement marks the next chapter of a reunion that began in 2025 after a 16-year hiatus. That reunion kicked off in Cardiff to a crowd of more than 60,000 fans.
Oasis has fixed standard UK ticket prices for the new tour in advance, setting them between £71.50 and £266.60, fees included. That approach stands in sharp contrast to the band’s 2025 reunion run, which drew heavy criticism over dynamic pricing and chaotic online queues. Many fans were left frustrated before they even reached the checkout.
This time, there is no general public sale. Fans must register ahead of time and receive a unique, non-transferable code granting access to a specific sales window. UK tickets will go on sale across three separate days, with three windows per day. The shift toward a controlled, pre-registration system appears designed to avoid the backlash that followed the band’s previous ticketing rollout.
The fixed pricing, the tightly managed registration process, and the sheer scale of demand seen during the 2025 leg help explain why Gallagher might feel the need to stoke urgency among fans, even if his methods, as he now admits, involved a bit of theater.
