Oasis Live 27 Tour: The Setlist Songs Fans Want to Hear

Oasis Live 27 brings 38 shows, fresh tour stops, and a flood of fan setlist requests—from “Columbia” to deep-cut surprises.

The reunion is rolling on, and fans are already doing what fans do best: arguing passionately about song choices. With the Oasis Live 27 tour now announced, attention has quickly shifted from ticket plans and stadium locations to one wonderfully obsessive question—what will Liam and Noel Gallagher actually play?

The Oasis reunion heads into 2027

The next chapter has been building for a while. Rumors had been circulating about the Gallaghers returning to the road in 2027, with Manchester and Knebworth repeatedly mentioned as likely destinations. Then came the renewed attention around the documentary Don’t Look Back In Anger, which focuses on the reunion and the most recent run of shows.

The band followed that momentum with a teaser campaign packed with clues. Easter eggs hinted at tour locations, while a drone display over Manchester’s Etihad Stadium helped confirm that a major announcement was on the way. It had the familiar touch of Oasis: part rock ’n’ roll spectacle, part elaborate scavenger hunt.

The announcement revealed 38 concerts beginning next May. The tour will travel through Scotland, England, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, France, Italy, the United States, and Ireland, giving fans across several continents another chance to sing along to songs that have become almost communal rituals.

“START THE CELEBRATIONS!!!! After a period of reflection ‘The Most Damaging Pop Cultural Force In Recent British History’ has declared itself fit for purpose and will once again return to lift the spirits of the people.”

The band followed that with another theatrical flourish: “Come witness the fitness. It shall be a sight to behold.”

A bigger route with some meaningful stops

The schedule gives the Oasis Live 27 tour a different shape from the previous dates. The run opens with five nights at Glasgow’s Celtic Park, beginning May 21, before moving to Manchester for 11 shows at the Etihad.

From there, the band will cross Europe, with multiple-night runs planned in Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Rome, and Paris. That final city carries extra emotional weight for longtime fans, as it was where the group famously split in 2009. Seeing the band return there now adds a particularly dramatic chapter to an already cinematic reunion story.

The tour will eventually return home. The band is scheduled to play at Slane Castle, a venue linked with the group’s legendary 1990s performances, followed by four nights at Knebworth. Richard Ashcroft will support at every show after previously joining the band for its 2025 United Kingdom dates.

That combination of huge stadium shows, historic venues, and familiar support makes the tour feel less like a simple extension of the reunion and more like a second celebration of the band’s entire story.

Why the setlist debate has become so intense

During the previous tour, the group performed the same 23 songs throughout the run. It was a powerful set, packed with major singles, fan favorites, acoustic moments, and the sort of giant closing numbers that make an entire stadium move as one.

Still, several beloved songs were left out. Fans immediately noticed the absence of “Columbia,” “Stop Crying Your Heart Out,” “All Around The World,” and “She’s Electric.” For a group with such a deep catalog, every omission becomes a talking point. Leave out one classic and someone, somewhere, will be preparing a carefully worded social media post about it.

The pre-tour teaser campaign added even more fuel. Videos included “Lyla” and “The Shock of the Lightning,” prompting speculation that both songs could appear during the 2027 shows. Neither track was part of the previous setlist, so their inclusion would give the next tour a welcome sense of movement rather than making it feel like a repeat performance.

Fans want classics, rarities, and B-sides

The most popular request has been “Columbia,” and it’s easy to understand why. Its hypnotic guitar work and slow-burning atmosphere would give the stadium production a darker, more immersive moment. One fan suggested that the group could also bring back several non-singles, including:

• “(It’s Good) To Be Free”
• “Turn Up The Sun”
• “I Hope, I Think, I Know”
• “Gas Panic!”
• “Stay Young”
• “D’Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman?”
• “Be Here Now”

That list says a lot about what longtime listeners want. They aren’t simply asking for more hits; they’re asking for songs that show the full range of the group, from bright early energy to the more unruly, ambitious material that appeared across later albums and B-sides.

Another fan-made proposal imagined a 23-song set with a few changes to the previous arrangement. The concept centered on keeping the biggest crowd favorites while making room for “Columbia,” “The Hindu Times,” “Lyla,” and “The Shock of the Lightning.”

It’s the classic setlist balancing act: keep “Wonderwall,” “Live Forever,” and “Don’t Look Back In Anger,” but find space for the songs that fans have been waiting decades to hear in a stadium.

The deeper cuts fans are dreaming about

Some wish lists went even further, reaching into songs that have rarely, if ever, been treated as obvious concert staples. One imagined set included:

• “Guess God Thinks I’m Abel”
• “Mucky Fingers”
• “Better Man”
• “Get Off Your High Horse Lady”
• “Little James”
• “I Can See A Liar”
• “Put Your Money Where Yer Mouth Is”
• “The Cage”
• “It’s Getting Better (Man!!)”
• “Love Like A Bomb”

That’s not a cautious playlist. It’s the kind of request that makes you picture a fan in the front row losing their voice before the encore even begins.

Other fans called for a reshuffle that would remove “Hello,” “Bring It On Down,” “Fade Away,” and “D’You Know What I Mean?” while adding “Columbia,” “The Hindu Times,” “Lyla,” and “The Shock of the Lightning.” Whether or not anyone would seriously remove those familiar songs is another matter, but setlist fantasy is supposed to be bold. If you can’t campaign for “Gas Panic!” from your phone, when can you?

One particularly ambitious wishlist included “Round Are Way,” “Listen Up,” “Go Let It Out,” “Step Out,” “I’m Outta Time,” “Turn Up The Sun,” and “Let There Be Love,” alongside “Columbia” and “Gas Panic!”

The common thread is clear: fans want the 2027 shows to retain the giant singalongs while opening the door to material that has been waiting patiently in the wings.

The songs played on the previous tour

For context, this was the full 23-song set performed during the 2025 dates:

1. “Hello”
2. “Acquiesce”
3. “Morning Glory”
4. “Some Might Say”
5. “Bring It On Down”
6. “Cigarettes & Alcohol”
7. “Fade Away”
8. “Supersonic”
9. “Roll With It”
10. “Talk Tonight”
11. “Half The World Away”
12. “Little By Little”
13. “D’You Know What I Mean?”
14. “Stand By Me”
15. “Cast No Shadow”
16. “Slide Away”
17. “Whatever”
18. “Live Forever”
19. “Rock ’n’ Roll Star”
20. “The Masterplan”
21. “Don’t Look Back In Anger”
22. “Wonderwall”
23. “Champagne Supernova”

It’s a formidable setlist, with the early singles, acoustic favorites, album tracks, and huge finales all represented. But that strength is also why fans are asking for changes. Once you’ve heard the big songs live, the temptation to chase the rarities becomes irresistible.

Could Glastonbury enter the picture?

The tour announcement also reignited speculation about a possible Glastonbury appearance. The band will be playing Manchester during the same week as the festival, while the Sunday evening headline slot remains open. That scheduling detail was enough to send fans into detective mode, wondering whether the group might return to Worthy Farm for the first time since 2004.

Some fans remain skeptical, pointing out that the band did not perform more than two consecutive nights on the previous tour. A Glastonbury appearance could therefore be considered unlikely—but not impossible.

Liam Gallagher has previously appeared to reject the idea of playing the festival. He has also criticized its famous Pyramid Stage, comparing the experience to performing for “a load of jamboree teachers.” When the band became the bookmakers’ favorite to headline at 4/1, speculation only grew louder.

Liam responded bluntly to fans convinced the group would appear, saying: “It’s not happening.” He later joked about dreaming that the band was playing Glastonbury before a crowd armed with flags and wearing crocodile shoes. The footwear and flag-waving imagery became a recurring part of his objections, including his question about whether the festival encouraged “CROCS n FLAGWAVING.”

The group had also denied festival rumors during the earlier reunion cycle, stating that it would not play Glastonbury or other festivals the following year. For now, the announced tour is the solid information, while Glastonbury remains firmly in the realm of fan speculation.

A reunion with genuine emotional weight

The excitement around the tour has been strengthened by the response to the reunion itself. The opening Cardiff performance was widely praised as a powerful return, with the band appearing confident, committed, and fully aware of the emotional significance of the moment.

That feeling also runs through Don’t Look Back In Anger, the documentary about the Gallagher brothers’ return to the stage. Creator and writer Steven Knight discussed the healing dimension of the reunion, while directors Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern spoke about honoring the late Stone Roses figure Mani and celebrating the contribution of Bonehead.

The film has been described as carefully made, irreverent, and deeply passionate. Those qualities sound familiar for Oasis: swagger on the surface, sentiment underneath, and just enough chaos to keep everyone watching.

Now the setlist becomes the next piece of the story. Will “Columbia” finally get its stadium moment? Could “Lyla” and “The Shock of the Lightning” move from teaser clues into the live show? And might one of the truly unexpected deep cuts sneak into the running order?

The Oasis Live 27 tour already has the venues, the scale, and the history. What it needs now is a setlist that feels familiar enough to satisfy casual listeners but surprising enough to reward the fans who know every B-side by heart.
