Everything we know about Oasis's return to Knebworth

After years of speculation, Oasis are returning to Knebworth House, the scene of their now-legendary 1996 concerts.

They played to 250,000 people across two nights, but the shows have since built a legacy far beyond those who were there.

That became clear to me earlier this year on the Tokyo subway, nearly 6,000 miles (9,660km) away, where I saw a young Japanese fan wearing a T-shirt featuring Liam Gallagher and the words "Oasis Knebworth 1996".

The band must be aware of how important those shows were - the trailer for next year's tour ends with aerial shots slowly revealing their return to the Hertfordshire venue.

So, when Oasis return for four shows in September 2027, how much will tickets cost, who will support them and how can fans get there?

Tickets for Oasis's 1996 Knebworth shows cost just £22.50, while the cheapest tickets for Liam Gallagher's solo concerts there in 2022 were closer to £70.

In 2027 general admission tickets at Knebworth will set you back £170.50, while front standing space costs £203.50.

The venue is one of the more expensive stops on the tour, with tickets for destinations with seating available, such as Manchester's Etihad Stadium and Glasgow's Celtic Park starting at £74.60 and £71.50 respectively.

VIP packages, costing between £317.50 and £513.50, offer benefits including access to a post-show hospitality area, exclusive merchandise or a reserved seating area.

Parking is not included, with prices due to be announced in the coming days.

To buy tickets fans have to sign up with an email address and answer a trivia question to prove they are a fan.

Those who register for shows in the UK may receive a link to buy tickets across Friday 25, Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September.

After Robbie Williams' shows in 2003, some fans reportedly spent about five hours leaving the car park because of traffic on the nearby A1.

Similar complaints followed Queen's final concert with Freddie Mercury in 1986 and Liam Gallagher's return in 2022 .

For the 2027 shows, Ticketmaster has told fans not to drive and to consider other travel options instead.

Those who do drive have been warned they could face delays getting in and out of the venue.

Hertfordshire Police added it was "working closely with the event promoters and partner agencies to help ensure a safe and enjoyable event for all attendees".

Ticketmaster has said trains would run from Stevenage to London for two hours after each concert, with single tickets costing £10.

As Stevenage station is two miles (3.2km) from Knebworth, a "stewarded, well-lit pedestrianised path" will connect it with the venue, with the walk expected to take about 55 minutes.

Although North Herts Council has said it has not seen a traffic management plan yet, it said it "will be working with the promoter and the Safety Advisory Group on plans in the coming months".

Coach packages will be available to take fans from 124 locations across England and Wales to Knebworth and return them after the concerts finish.

Those with tickets for Saturday night shows can camp the night before and after for £60 per person, which includes parking, in an attempt to ease congestion.

There will be late night bars for campers, and Friday night entertainment will also be provided.

Although gates are expected to open at 14:00 BST, the only confirmed support act so far is former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft.

He's no stranger to the band as Ashcroft supported the band on their 2025 tour and will appear at all 37 shows in 2027, including the Hertfordshire finale.

In 1996 Noel Gallagher dedicated Cast No Shadow to him during Oasis's second Knebworth show.

Oasis were also joined that year by The Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers, The Prodigy, Cast, The Chemical Brothers, Kula Shaker and tribute band The Bootleg Beatles.

Neil Harrison, who then performed as John Lennon and now manages the band, said it was "hugely flattering" to be invited but remembers feeling nervous before the now-legendary shows.

He said: "We had no idea how we, as a theatre-style act wearing wigs and costumes and playing Beatle songs, would go down. As it happened, rather well.

"Of course, we'd be absolutely delighted to open the show again, and with a new line-up, we haven't aged a bit. We await the call."
