Liam Gallagher has addressed speculation about Oasis performing at Knebworth in 2026. He shared a statement on X (formerly Twitter).
The Britpop band had been the subject of betting odds suggesting they might play multiple nights at the historic venue next year. These odds potentially indicated they could break records set during their legendary 1996 performances there. However, Gallagher moved quickly to dispel these rumors.
Oasis Mania account posted on X, saying “Oasis are odds-on at 1/2 with William Hill to play at Knebworth next year (2026). The Britpop band are even-money to exceed the two nights they played at Knebworth in 1996, while they are 6/4 to break Robbie Williams’ record of playing three nights straight at the historic venue.”
“It’s not happening. We’re not doing anything in 2026, sorry,” Gallagher stated in response to the speculation.
The announcement comes as a definitive response to months of fan speculation and industry anticipation surrounding the band’s future plans. This follows their successful 2025 reunion tour.
Liam Gallagher has explicitly ruled out any Oasis reunion tour or Knebworth gigs in 2026, according to Louder Sound. This decision came despite earlier speculation and fan hopes fueled by his cryptic remarks during the 2025 reunion tour. The betting odds from William Hill had suggested the band was odds-on at 1/2 to play at Knebworth next year. Even-money odds indicated they could exceed the two nights they played at the historic venue in 1996.
Liam Gallagher confirmed in a series of recent social media posts that Oasis will not be touring again until at least 2027, according to BXR. This effectively rules out any shows in 2026. The decision represents a significant shift from earlier industry expectations, which had suggested that the success of the reunion might encourage the band to extend touring into the following year.
Early 2025 sources had indicated potential momentum for extended touring, as noted by Fanatix. However, Liam’s recent definitive statements have overridden these speculations. The band’s decision to take a break in 2026 suggests they are prioritizing rest and recovery following their successful reunion performances.
Fans will have to wait until at least 2027 for any official announcements regarding future Oasis tour dates. No additional details about the band’s long-term plans have been provided at this time.
