Noel Gallagher is weighing the possibility of abandoning alcohol for Oasis’ 2027 trek, following in the footsteps of his brother Liam Gallagher who did so in 2025.
The 59-year-old singer-songwriter admitted that he and Liam must “pick [their] battles” these days, since they can’t tour with the same intensity they once did in the 1990s and 2000s.
In an interview with talkSPORT about the newly unveiled 38-date Oasis Live ’27 Tour, he stated: “Liam will be off the booze and I wasn’t for the last tour, but I might be for this.”
“You’ve just got to go to bed early. We can’t do it like we did in the 90s; we can’t even do it like we did in the 2000s, but you’ve got to pick your battles.”
Oasis stunned the world when they reconvened for a 2025 tour, which kicked off on July 4 in Cardiff.
Only 22 days later, Noel and Liam—who had previously settled their differences in order to reunite the band—decided they wanted to embark on more touring after their Wembley Stadium show in London on July 26.
Noel explained: “It was after the second Wembley show [we decided to tour again].
“Nobody really knew what was going to happen, how it was going to go.”
“We did Cardiff and Manchester and by the time we got to Wembley it was decided we were going to do it.”
Oasis Live ’27 comprises several European stops, and Noel conceded that it was “always the plan” to perform in Italy, France, Germany and Spain.
He added: “We couldn’t not do Europe because our fans in Italy and France and Germany and Spain have been brilliant.”
“It was always the plan to do that.”
“The Vegas and Boston gigs we were supposed to do last year.”
Nevertheless, the Wonderwall writers aren’t planning to record any fresh material to broaden their catalog.
Noel said: “There won’t be any new music.”
The Oasis 2027 tour will begin with a five-night run at Glasgow’s Celtic Park from May 21 to May 29.
They will then head back to their home base of Manchester for 11 nights at the Etihad Stadium, before two-night engagements in Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, and Rome in July.
The band will then cross the Atlantic in August for three shows at Boston’s Gillette Stadium and three at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.
The following month, Oasis will perform at Slane Castle in Ireland for two nights, preceding a much-anticipated Knebworth residency that will revisit the site of their landmark 1996 performances.
Oasis will stage four nights at Knebworth, with the run currently set to wrap at the venerable venue on September 19.
