A touring schedule reported by tabloids has Oasis holding five nights in Slane in August 2027.
None of it is currently confirmed, and a run that size would be unlike anything the venue has ever staged. Oasis have not announced a 2027 tour as yet but something is clearly coming. Teaser videos, decoded by fans, and a leaked schedule suggests so.
That schedule, which it says is subject to changes, has the band back out next summer after last year’s Live ’25. tour.
Five nights at Slane Castle are currently pencilled which could mean anywhere from 1 to 5 shows. Last week, Fontaines D.C. announced two Slane shows, and there suggestion from Reddit is that residents have been told 4 in total, which would be an unprecedented number for Slane concerts in one year if it goes ahead.
The band are reportedly doing 12 nights in the Ethihad in Manchester, and are returning to Knebworth where the band played to 250,000 people in 1996.

The leaked dates
As reported, the schedule runs:
- Celtic Park, Glasgow, five nights in May
- Etihad Stadium, Manchester, up to 12 nights in June
- Paris, Munich, Milan and Rome in July
- Slane Castle, Co Meath, August 6th, 7th, 8th, 11th and 14th
- Knebworth, Hertfordshire, September 4th, 5th, 11th, 12th, 18th and 19th
The UK legs add up to the 23 dates that have been reported across the board. Crucially, the reporting also notes that some entries on the schedule indicate venue holds rather than confirmed concerts. Promoters put holds on stadium and site dates all the time for tours in case such demand can be matched.
Five nights at Slane?
Slane has never staged five concerts in a single year. It has barely staged two. The estate has run on a one-big-show-a-summer model since Thin Lizzy opened it in 1981, and Luke Combs playing two nights in July 2026 was itself treated as a departure.
Then there is the small matter of the 2027 bill. Fontaines D.C. are already confirmed for Slane on Saturday June 26th, with Hayley Williams, Damien Dempsey and Madra Salach supporting, and a second night added for Sunday June 27th after the first sold out on presale alone.
So the leaked Oasis dates would happen two months after that, in August, meaning seven concerts at Slane in one summer (though four is a more realistic number), for a site that has historically hosted one. That is not impossible, but it is a very large claim – unsubstantiated currently.
Why it might have some truth
Slane owner Alex Conyngham has been open about wanting concerts back on the estate more regularly, and has previously said the Gallaghers are always welcome.
Oasis have history there too, supporting REM in 1995 and headlining in 2009, months before the band fell apart at Rock En Seine.
Noel Gallagher has also been unhelpfully suggestive on radio, pointing out that there is no major football tournament next summer, which frees up stadium availability across Europe.
“Let’s put it this way; there’s no football tournament on next year, so we’ve got to do something in the summer, right?”
Noel
The band began posting short teasers on September 3rd, starting with two lads in a chip shop with ‘Little By Little’ playing on a television. Fans pulled numbers out of the set, a price on a chippy bundle and a radio dial, and read them as the coordinates for Celtic Park. Further clips followed, decoded as the Etihad, Knebworth, Munich, Barcelona and Amsterdam.
All of it landed the same week Liam and Noel were in Venice for the premiere of Don’t Look Back In Anger, the Live ’25 documentary which is in cinemas on Wednesday before it goes on Disney+ streaming before the end of 2026.
What happens next
An announcement is widely expected later this month. Until Oasis or Slane say something, the five August dates are a report of a leaked document, not a tour.
Oasis sold out two nights at Croke Park in August 2025. Five nights in Meath would be the single biggest run of concerts ever held at the venue.
This week, Ticketmaster has been accused of breaching consumer law over the confusion and lack of clarity around those Oasis ticket sale last summer.
