Oasis have announced a string of extra dates for their mammoth 2027 tour following “phenomenal demand” from fans.
The Britpop giants confirmed on Wednesday that additional shows have been added in the UK, Italy and Germany, while two of their previously announced Paris concerts have also been rescheduled.
Noel and Liam Gallagher will now play two further dates at Knebworth on September 25 and 26, extending their highly anticipated return to the iconic venue.
The additional concerts mean Oasis are now set to perform six nights at Knebworth in September, having previously announced shows on September 11, 12, 18 and 19.

The latest announcement comes just over a week after the Gallagher brothers confirmed they would extend their blockbuster reunion into 2027 following the success of their comeback.
On September 14, Oasis announced a huge run of concerts across the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe and the United States, telling fans to “START THE CELEBRATIONS!!!!”
The band declared: “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.
“Come witness the fitness. It shall be a sight to behold.”
The original schedule already included an extensive run of UK dates, beginning at Celtic Park in Glasgow on May 21.
Oasis are due to play five nights at the Scottish stadium before heading to their hometown of Manchester for 11 concerts at the Etihad Stadium throughout June.
The tour will then take the band across mainland Europe and the United States before Noel and Liam return closer to home for two performances at Ireland’s Slane Castle on September 4 and 5.
Their Knebworth return will carry particular significance, coming more than three decades after the band’s legendary 1996 shows at the venue.
Oasis initially announced four nights at the Hertfordshire venue, but the two newly added dates will see their run stretch across three consecutive weekends.
The concerts will take place more than three decades after Oasis famously performed two nights at Knebworth in August 1996.
Those shows became synonymous with the height of Britpop, with around 250,000 fans attending across the two nights and millions allegedly applying for tickets.
The newly announced dates further underline the continued demand surrounding Noel and Liam’s reunion after years of hostility between the brothers.

The brothers subsequently pursued separate careers and spent years exchanging public barbs before eventually putting their differences aside for Oasis’s long-awaited comeback.
