Oasis Tour 2027: Slane Castle Guide, Tickets, Projected Dates

For well over a year, one rumour has refused to go away among Irish music fans: could Oasis return to Slane Castle in 2027?

The County Meath venue has a genuine history with the Gallagher brothers, and speculation about a third Slane appearance has rumbled on ever since Oasis reunited for their Live '25 tour. Nothing has been officially confirmed either way, and Slane Castle's main 2027 show has just been announced as Fontaines D.C., but that hasn't stopped fans wondering whether Oasis could still find their way back to the Boyne Valley.

Here's everything worth knowing about Oasis and Slane Castle, where things currently stand for 2027, and what a return might look like if it happens.

Oasis Tour 2027 & Slane Castle: Key Takeaways

  • Oasis have not officially confirmed a 2027 tour, but the band remains strongly linked with Slane Castle, Manchester's Etihad Stadium and Knebworth.
  • Slane Castle's confirmed 2027 show is Fontaines D.C. on 26 June, though owner Alex Conyngham has said Oasis are "always welcome" at the venue, so a future Slane date isn't off the table.
  • Oasis Live '25 tickets ranged from roughly £73 at face value to well over £400 for platinum categories in Dublin, giving a sense of what any 2027 shows could cost.

Oasis at Slane Castle: The 1995 and 2009 History

Oasis are no strangers to the natural amphitheatre on the banks of the River Boyne.

The band first played Slane Castle in 1995 as a support act for R.E.M., years before they became one of the biggest bands on the planet.

They returned in 2009, this time as the headline act, playing to a crowd of around 80,000 people. That show turned out to be one of their last before Liam and Noel Gallagher's fallout led to the band splitting later that year.

Given that history, and the emotional scenes at Oasis's two sold-out Dublin shows during the 2025 reunion tour, it's easy to see why fans and bookmakers alike started linking the band to a third Slane appearance in 2027.

Could Oasis Still Play Slane Castle? What We Know For 2027

Bookmakers slashed their odds on an Oasis Slane show after reports emerged of a possible 12-night Oasis residency elsewhere, and speculation only grew louder through the summer of 2026.

Slane owner Alex Conyngham has consistently said he wants to bring major concerts back to the estate on a regular basis, following Harry Styles's 2023 show and Luke Combs's two-night residency in July 2026. Oasis have long been considered one of the biggest names in the conversation, and Conyngham has previously said the Gallagher brothers are "always welcome" at Slane.

The venue's confirmed headline show for 2027 has now been announced as Fontaines D.C. on 26 June, alongside Hayley Williams, Damien Dempsey and Madra Salach. That makes the Dublin band only the third Irish act ever to headline Slane, following Thin Lizzy and U2.

That confirmation covers Slane's traditional summer concert date, but it doesn't amount to an official statement ruling Oasis out of the venue going forward. Nothing has ever been confirmed about an Oasis show at Slane in the first place, so the rumours remain exactly that, rumours, whether they relate to 2027 or a future year.

The Wider Oasis 2027 Tour Rumours: Etihad Stadium and Knebworth

Oasis have not officially confirmed any 2027 tour dates, but speculation has built steadily since their Live '25 reunion tour wrapped up.

The most persistent report claims Oasis are planning a 12-night residency at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium across May and June 2027, with some sources suggesting the run could extend to 20 shows. Manchester City's final home Premier League fixture of that season falls in late May, which would free up the stadium for the summer.

There's also talk of a return to Knebworth House, 31 years after Oasis's legendary 1996 shows there. In August 2026, promoter SJM Concerts secured a premises licence for Knebworth covering events of up to 125,000 people, though neither SJM nor Oasis have confirmed a concert.

A European leg has also been floated, with Rome mentioned as a possible stop alongside the UK dates.

What Oasis Live '25 Tickets Cost, From Cardiff to Croke Park

If Oasis do return in 2027, last time's tour is the best guide to what tickets might cost.

Standard face value tickets for the 2025 reunion tour generally started from the mid £70s, before dynamic pricing pushed many categories much higher once demand kicked in.

Date Event + Venue Starting Price (£)
4 Jul 2025 Oasis, Principality Stadium (Cardiff) £73
11 Jul 2025 Oasis, Heaton Park (Manchester) £73
25 Jul 2025 Oasis, Wembley Stadium (London) £73
8 Aug 2025 Oasis, Murrayfield (Edinburgh) £73
16 Aug 2025 Oasis, Croke Park (Dublin) £75

Prices are based on SeatPick's historical resale listings.

Those figures cover the standard on-sale price only. Once dynamic pricing and platinum categories were factored in, some Dublin tickets reportedly sold for well over £400, and resale prices climbed even higher in the weeks before the shows.

For a closer look at how fans navigated that scramble, our Oasis Live '25 ticket buying guide is still a useful reference for what to expect if a 2027 tour goes on sale.

How to Get Oasis Tickets If a 2027 Tour Is Confirmed

Nothing is official yet, but that hasn't stopped fans getting ready.

Once Oasis do confirm dates, whether that's Manchester, Knebworth or somewhere else entirely, tickets are likely to sell out within minutes given the demand seen in 2025.

SeatPick compares options across a wide range of trusted resale sites, so fans who miss out on the initial on-sale still have a route to genuine, guaranteed tickets.
