‘No plans’ for more Oasis UK tour dates

Oasis has ruled out more dates in the UK as part of their reunion tour, including a return to iconic Knebworth Park.

The band announced last month they would be reuniting for a series of dates later this year, beginning in Cardiff.

Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher performed two concerts at Knebworth Park, the stately home in Herefordshire, in 1996.

They later released a live album from the shows and the 2021 documentary Oasis Knebworth 1996.

The Sun newspaper had reported the brothers were open to the idea of adding to the 19-date run at the venue.

In a statement on social media, the band said “Oasis will not be playing Knebworth Park in the future”.

“There are no plans for any further UK dates beyond the currently announced UK stadium tour,” the statement added.

After some fans were unable to get tickets due to technical issues, two more dates were added at London‘s Wembley Stadium on 27 and 28 September.

They follow two dates in the Welsh capital, five in Manchester, five in Wembley and three in Edinburgh.

Those successful in the invite-only ballot to buy tickets for the remaining concerts are set to be informed by 9pm on Friday.

The UK’s competition watchdog, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), is investigating whether the sale of Oasis tickets by Ticketmaster may have breached consumer protection law.

The probe will look at whether “dynamic pricing” may have been used after the price of standard tickets for the tour more than doubled from £148 to £355 on the ticket selling website.

Ticketmaster has said it does not set concert prices and Oasis has said the band was not involved in the decision either.

Oasis has yet to release tickets or announce dates for their tour outside of Europe.
