Organiser confirms Oasis will not headline Glastonbury 2027

Oasis will not headline Glastonbury 2027

The band announced a run of 2027 gigs across the UK, Ireland, Europe and the US last week, after a cryptic video had rumours swirling around a new tour.

Due to play Manchester City's Etihad Stadium on the Friday and the Saturday of Glastonbury weekend, the pair are yet to schedule for Sunday.

This has led some fans to conclude the Gallaghers were lining up Worthy Farm's Pyramid Stage to close the festival.

Eavis settled it in a reply to a follower on Instagram who had commented: “Please say you've got Oasis.”

She replied: “Sorry Jimmy, not this time!”

Liam Gallagher had already said Oasis were not doing it

Liam Gallagher's X post last month made it clear.

Writing in response to a fan site that noted the band were bookmakers' favourites for the festival, Liam said that “It's not HAPPENING".

"So all you croc wearing flag waving [kind people] can calm [...] down.”

The band marks the next phase of a comeback with a 38-date run.

The 2025 leg made an estimated £300 million, and which was documented in the band's own concert film, Don't Look Back in Anger, released earlier this month.

Despite the announcement that preceded the tour: “Come see. It will not be televised.” Like Glastonbury, Oasis took 2026 off.

What Glastonbury pays its headliners

The festival is broadcast by the BBC and offers headliners worldwide exposure.

However, Eavis has been open in the past about paying them far less than they would earn elsewhere.

Oasis made their Glastonbury debut in 1994 on what was then the NME Stage, now Woodsies, before Definitely Maybe had even been released, and returned to headline the Pyramid Stage the following year.

They last played the festival in 2004. Neither brother, both now in their 50s, played three nights in a row at any point on the comeback tour.

At the other end of the transaction, a Glastonbury ticket price hike caused a backlash earlier this month with prices expected to surge at over £500.
