OASIS’S website crashed yesterday as millions of fans clamoured to register to buy tickets for their Live ’27 tour.
Liam and Noel Gallagher released a new picture of themselves as they announced 38 concerts across 11 venues in Britain, Europe and the US — and a source said even more dates are to come.

It follows the success of their Live ’25 reunion tour.
Noel said: “This is going to be a lot more fun because all of us are going to be way more relaxed than the last time.”
Noel also admitted yesterday that he and brother Liam will have to “go to bed early” to stay on top form for the new tour.
The guitarist, who will turn 60 at a Celtic Park gig in May, admitted: “We can’t do it like we did in the Nineties. You have to pick your battles.”

He said: “Liam will be off the booze. I wasn’t for the last tour but I might be for this tour.”
Noel said he expected it to be “much better” than their ’25 reunion because the band will be “way more relaxed than last time”.
He said: “We were all anxious last time about how all the rehearsals were going to go and how the tour would be received and all the mithering about the tickets and that sort of thing.

“This is going to be a lot more fun. We’re going to put on a great show. It’s going to be unbelievable.”
The rocker, who formed Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds after Oasis split, went on: “These tours are not that gruelling. My tours with my band are brutal, it’s like four shows a week. This is two a week. It’s easy.”
Noel also shot down talk of a new Oasis album, adding: “There won’t be any new music.”
The gigs kick off on May 21 at Celtic Park in Glasgow, with Man City fanatics Noel, 59, and Liam, 53, playing five shows there before starting an 11-night residency at City’s Etihad Stadium on June 4.
The pair will then play concerts in Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and Rome in July, before six shows in Boston and Las Vegas.
Noel and Liam will then fly to Ireland for two concerts at Slane Castle from September 4, before moving to Knebworth for four gigs from September 11.
The 2.7 million tickets will cost from £71.50 to £266.60, including fees. Insiders said the brothers chose to use a ballot system for this tour in a bid to clamp down on touts and to avoid queues.
The band’s website crashed 30 seconds after they announced the tour as millions of fans clamoured to register.

Announcing the previously teased shows, the brothers had a dig at a Guardian journalist who branded them “the most damaging pop cultural force in recent British history,” after their first comeback.
They mocked the statement after Oasis Live ’25 and took aim again in confirming next year’s tour. They wrote: “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.”
Noel confirmed yesterday that he decided a second tour was a goer after they started their shows at Wembley Stadium in July last year.

Speaking to Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent on talkSPORT, he said: “It was after the second Wembley show. We did Cardiff and Manchester and by the time we got to Wembley, somebody said, ‘Well . . . ’
“And it was decided we were going to do it and it was all set in motion then. We couldn’t not do Europe because our fans in Italy and Germany and France, Holland, Spain and all that have been great with us down the years, so that was always the plan to do that.
“I’m going to be on stage at Celtic Park for my 60th on 29 May.
“These ideas start as little ideas and then Vegas and the Boston gigs we were supposed to do last time but couldn’t for some reason.” He confirmed the band had wanted to play the Etihad on the first run but could not because of building.

Noel explained: “We didn’t want to play anywhere we played before. City, we were devastated that we couldn’t play it last time because they were building the new stand. Celtic was a no-brainer. Knebworth was a no-brainer.
“Vegas will be great, that stadium is amazing and Boston, it’ll be like playing in Dublin.
“And we did some great shows in Slane in the Nineties.”
Recalling last year’s reunion tour, Noel said the band would struggle to beat the reaction from the fans in Argentina. He said: “The second night at the River Plate Stadium, you had to be there.
“I know people don’t want to hear it after the World Cup but those people in that stadium are sent from heaven. The crowd was amazing. We didn’t do one bad gig.
“If you’re only as good as your last tour, then we’re pretty good.”
Their two upcoming Paris concerts are expected to be particularly poignant for the brothers.
They were last due to perform in the city at the Rock en Seine Festival on August, 28, 2009 but a backstage bust-up saw Noel quit.

In a blistering statement, he wrote: “The level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable.
“And the lack of support and understanding from my management and bandmates has left me with no other option than to get me cape and seek pastures new.”
A source added: “What happened in Paris 17 years ago is in the past.
“The significance isn’t lost on Noel and Liam but for them, they’re united and this is all about the music. That’s old news now.” The Sun revealed earlier this year that a 2027 tour was coming.
Insiders said the brothers would start rehearsals in April with guitarists Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and Gem Archer, bassist Andy Bell, drummer Joey Waronker and keyboardist Christian Madden.
The set-list is under wraps but sources said fans should expect songs including Columbia which they rehearsed for the first tour.
A source said: “There’s a wealth of Oasis tracks that didn’t make the cut for the first tour. Columbia they rehearsed but never played. Then there’s She’s Electric, Stop Crying Your Heart Out and Go Let It Out. Noel and Liam will have to work out which songs they want to swap out and swap in.
“It won’t be easy as no matter what they choose, people will always want to hear more.”

A source added: “The gigs announced so far are only the first batch. There’s more to come.
“Knebworth was being lined up for six concerts which would break records. There’s no way Noel and Liam will go out without a bang. And Knebworth is huge for them.”
DON’T LOOK BACK
- By Ellie Henman
NOEL Gallagher admitted he would never do the Poznan — as pictures of him watching Manchester City beat Manchester United went viral.
The Don’t Look Back in Anger star grinned as City snatched derby glory on Sunday with a controversial Erling Haaland goal, while those around him celebrated by facing away from the pitch.
He said: “I just never do it. I find it ludicrous that a load of grown men could put their arms together and jump up and down, shouting, ‘Let’s all do the Poznan’. I like to be different.”
