Oasis Set to Rock Knebworth Next Summer? British Peer Sparks Excitement, Then Pulls Back

Oasis Knebworth gigs rumor stirs fans as a British peer hints at a 2026 return, before clarifying it’s just speculation.

A Surprise Announcement That Got Oasis Fans Buzzing

If you grew up with Oasis, the very mention of Knebworth sparks a rush of nostalgia. Those legendary 1996 concerts are etched in music history, selling out in under a day and cementing the Gallagher brothers as rock icons. So, when Lady Taylor of Stevenage, a member of the House of Lords, casually mentioned that Oasis would be playing five consecutive nights at Knebworth House next summer, the excitement was palpable.

She stood up on October 22 and declared:

“Next July, I have the benefit of five days of Oasis concerts in the fantastic venue of Knebworth House, which is just about a mile from my house.”

Imagine having front-row soundwaves from your own home! Lady Taylor also praised the cultural and economic importance of music venues like Knebworth, emphasizing their impact beyond just the music.

Oasis back on the scene, reminding us why they remain legends.

You can sense the pride and anticipation in her words — and so did the millions of Oasis fans who’ve waited for the band to return to that iconic stage.

But Wait, It Might Not Be Set in Stone

The twist? Shortly after her announcement, Lady Taylor clarified her statement when contacted by a major publication. She said:

“I was speaking hypothetically following speculation that they would play Knebworth again as they did in August 1996. I understand the band have not confirmed this.”

So, was it a hopeful prediction or a slip of the tongue? Either way, the rumors are flying fast and furious.

Oasis' Ongoing Reunion Tour Keeps Fans Hyped

While the Knebworth gigs aren’t officially on the books yet, Oasis has been very much alive on stage this year. Their “Oasis Live ‘25” comeback tour has been a rollercoaster of emotions for fans and the band alike. It marked their first time sharing a stage in 16 years, beginning with a triumphant show at Cardiff's Principality Stadium this past July.

Liam Gallagher gave fans a tantalizing hint at the final Wembley show, teasing that more dates might be coming:

“‘Champagne Supernova’, see you next year.”

And yes, he even gave himself a playful wrist slap for spilling the beans.

From Cardiff to their high-energy homecoming gigs in Manchester and their residency at Wembley, the band has been rediscovering their groove and reconnecting with fans old and new. Now, they’re touring Asia, with a recent show at Goyang Stadium in South Korea signaling their global pull.

The Rollercoaster of Oasis Album Rumors

The Knebworth chatter isn’t the only hot topic swirling around Oasis. For a while, fans got hopes up about a new Oasis album – first with Liam claiming it was “already finished,” then later saying he was “blown away” by Noel’s new material. But, as with many things Oasis-related, the story took another twist when Liam posted on X (formerly Twitter) that there was:

“no Oasis album in the making,” and that his earlier comments were just “a laugh.”

Classic Gallagher unpredictability!

Celebrating Oasis’ Legacy with Special Releases

2025 is also a big year for Oasis’ discography. Earlier this month, they released the 30th anniversary edition of their magnum opus, "(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?" – the album that helped define Britpop and a generation.

In November, fans will also get a treat with the 25th anniversary reissue of their iconic live album, Familiar To Millions, recorded at Wembley. These releases are a perfect nod to the band’s enduring legacy and the timeless quality of their music.
