Liam Gallagher Claps Back at Oasis Glastonbury 2027 Headline Rumors

Liam Gallagher shuts down speculation about Oasis headlining Glastonbury 2027 with his trademark bluntness, putting fans firmly in their place.

If you’ve been scouring Twitter or fan forums lately, you couldn’t have missed the wildfire of rumors claiming Oasis would headline Glastonbury in 2027. The buzz had bookies tipping the Britpop legends as favorites, but Liam Gallagher, ever the straight shooter, wasted no time squashing those dreams with some fiery tweets that only he could deliver.

No Glastonbury 2027 For Oasis – Liam’s Clear Message

Glastonbury has always been a bit of a love-hate affair for Liam Gallagher. Once likening the festival vibe to “a load of jamboree teachers,” Liam’s relationship with the iconic Pyramid Stage is complicated, to say the least. It turns out that it’s not just a question of personal taste — Liam has outright dismissed all speculation about Oasis starring at Worthy Farm next year.

Over the weekend, amid mounting chatter, Liam went on a social media rampage calling out the "croc wearing flag waving shit c*nts" who were convinced Oasis was locked in for the next Glasto headline slot. His message was brutally simple: “It’s not happening.”

Replying to a fan’s curious question about his dreams, Liam painted a vivid picture:

“I had a dream we was playing Glastonbury and the croc brigade stormed the stage and started whipping me to death with their flags took me ages to get settled.”

Flags, a Glastonbury staple, seem to be a sore spot for Liam, who asked fans jokingly if the festival encourages “CROCS n FLAGWAVING,” to which his answer was a firm no.

His tweets were unfiltered and punched with the typical Gallagher attitude:

“It’s not HAPPENING so all you croc wearing flag waving shit cunts can calm the fuck down.”

“All flags can fuck off even the 1s that say LIAM your the best thing since SLICED BREAD I do not discriminate don’t go to a gig to have a flag swooshed in my face people wanna watch the gig.”

— Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) August 23, 2026

Liam Gallagher on stage, clearly not the fan of Glastonbury flag culture.

What’s Next for Oasis? Tour Rumors Abound

While Glastonbury 2027 is off the table, whispers about an Oasis UK and European tour next year are growing louder. Rumors suggest the band could embark on a monumental run, highlighted by a possible 12-night residency at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium, plus a triumphant return to the legendary Knebworth shows.

Sources close to the club hint at a dozen shows being booked at the Etihad, a venue that’s already hosted mega acts like The Weeknd and Take That since reopening for concerts earlier this year. If confirmed, tickets for this residency could be released as early as this summer, likely scheduling the shows for May and June — conveniently fitting around Manchester City’s football calendar, which wraps up its home games by late May.

This news has fans buzzing, especially knowing that both Liam and Noel share a deep love for Manchester City FC, making the idea of a hometown Etihad residency even more special.

“Ffs RKID announce the tour we’re all losing our minds,” Liam tweeted, to which guitarist Bonehead cheekily replied, “What tour???”

Looking Back at Oasis and Glastonbury

Oasis’s history with Glastonbury is a mixed bag at best. They first headlined the festival in 1995, just a year after their debut appearance, cementing their spot in Britpop royalty. They returned to take the main stage in 2004, but that performance didn’t quite live up to expectations — critics and fans alike found it underwhelming.

In a 2008 interview, Noel Gallagher reflected on their Glastonbury stints, saying:

“We said the last time we done Glastonbury, we’ve never really pulled it off at Glastonbury… I don’t think.”

He added that their 2004 set suffered because they had scrapped an album release planned for that week, calling the gig “a bit of a damp squib.” Liam wasn’t shy about sharing his own feelings, later revealing that playing Glastonbury in 2004 was “horrible” due to issues with his in-ear monitors.

“I didn’t like it. I mean I enjoyed myself after it because you soon put it to bed, you get off your head and all that and I enjoyed the vibe. But the gig, nah, wasn’t for me.”

Both brothers have since performed at Glastonbury separately — Liam during his Beady Eye days and Noel with his High Flying Birds, who last played in 2022.

Oasis Documentary and Future Hints

While the band’s future festival plans seem uncertain, excitement builds around their cinematic celebration. The new Steven Knight-directed documentary, Don’t Look Back In Anger, commemorates the one-year anniversary of their ‘Live ‘25’ reunion tour.

Set for release in cinemas and IMAX on September 11, 2026, the film will later stream globally on Disney+ and Hulu. Early clips have shown intimate backstage moments between Liam and Noel, with promises that the reunion shows were “going to be chaos,” a sentiment fans will surely appreciate.

Since wrapping their ‘Live ‘25’ tour last November, Oasis has been teasing more live performances, though Liam made it clear last December that nothing would happen in 2026, saying on social media:

“We’re not doing anything in 2026 sorry.”

Glastonbury 2027 and Other Headliner Speculations

With Oasis out, the Glastonbury rumor mill is spinning with other big names. Earlier this year, festival co-organizer Emily Eavis firmly ruled out Madonna, who had been widely speculated to perform following her recent album release.

Bookies’ early favorites to top the Pyramid Stage in 2027 include Sam Fender, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Little Simz. Other heavy hitters like Harry Styles, Radiohead, Fontaines D.C., Muse, and The Rolling Stones also make frequent appearances in the betting odds.

The Rolling Stones are a particularly intriguing prospect, with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards hinting at a potential return to touring in 2027. The Stones headlined Glastonbury just once, back in 2013, adding fuel to the rumor fire.

A Final Thought on Festival Legends

Oasis may not be gracing Glastonbury’s main stage next year, but the Gallagher brothers’ impact on British music and festival culture is undeniable. From their early days storming the scene to their recent reunion chaos, their story continues to captivate fans worldwide.

So, while you might not see Liam shouting over a sea of flags at Worthy Farm next summer, the band’s legacy and potential tour plans still have us eagerly watching — and planning our calendars accordingly.
