Fans will wait for a formal schedule after Oasis staged a drone display over Manchester’s Etihad Joie Stadium that ended with the date 14.09.26 and the time 4pm BST, 16:00. The formation first showed the band’s logo and then changed to the date and time, signalling when the group’s next announcement is expected.
The Story in Pictures
The display took place above the stadium that hosts Manchester City Women, one of locations the band has been hinting at in recent social posts. Those posts have also highlighted Celtic Park and Knebworth as possible venues. Knebworth carries particular weight for Oasis, who performed to 250,000 people there in 1996 at the height of Britpop.
The aerial tease follows Oasis’s wider return to the stage last year, when the Gallagher brothers reunited for the Live ’25 tour, their first run together since the band split in 2009. Interest in another outing has been high and rumours of a follow-up tour circulated in recent weeks, but no dates or venues had been formally confirmed before Thursday evening’s drone show.
Momentum for any new plans is being fuelled by a freshly released film about the reunion. Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger, written by Steven Knight, opened on Wednesday as a hybrid of concert film and documentary. It traces the reunion run that began in Cardiff in July 2025, and includes the first interviews with Liam and Noel Gallagher together in more than two decades.
Oasis enter this next chapter with a strong commercial record, having achieved eight UK number one singles and eight UK number one albums, with songs such as Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger and Roll With It among their best-known tracks. The drone display sets a clear deadline, with the band expected to make a formal announcement at 4pm BST on 14 September 2026.
