Liam Gallagher bluntly responds to Oasis Glastonbury 2027 headline rumours

Playing Glastonbury – a prospect Liam Gallagher once compared to performing to “ a load of jamboree teachers ” – doesn’t seem to be on the cards for Oasis next year.

As well as the footwear issue, the flags the festival is famous for seemed to be of great concern, and Liam went on to ask a fan: “Do they encourage CROCS n FLAGWAVING if so I’m afraid it’s NO from ME.” It’s not HAPPENING so all you croc wearing flag waving shit cunts can calm the fuck down — Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) August 22, 2026 I had a dream we was playing at Glastonbury and the croc brigade stormed the stage and started whipping me to death with there flags took me ages to get settled NIGHTMARE — Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) August 22, 2026 Do they encourage CROCS n FLAGWAVING if so I’m afraid it’s NO from ME — Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) August 23, 2026 All flags can fuck off even the 1s that say LIAM your the best thing since SLICED BREAD I do not discriminate don’t go to a gig to have a flag swooshed in my face people wanna watch the gig — Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) August 23, 2026 This morning (Monday August 24), he followed up with another post, saying: “Ffs RKID announce the tour we’re all losing our minds,” to which Bonehead replied: “What tour???” As well as the now quashed Glasto rumours, there’s also talk of an UK and European tour for Oasis next year , which could include an impressive 12-night homecoming residency in Manchester and a return to Knebworth.

“A number of sources” close to the club reportedly shared that 12 shows planned for the stadium.

Since it reopened for gigs earlier this summer, the Etihad has welcomed huge live shows from The Weeknd and Take That.

If residency shows are confirmed, tickets are likely to come on sale this summer.

It also seems likely that dates would take place in May and June, as Man City’s fixture list for 2026/2027 means that their last home game is on Saturday May 23.

The reports of a residency in their hometown arose in the Manchester Evening News, claiming that the band were booking out the Etihad Stadium – home of Liam and Noel Gallagher’s beloved Manchester City FC.
