Oasis tease Slane Castle concert ahead of expected 2027 tour announcement

Slane Castle teased in new Oasis video

Oasis released a short teaser on September 12 that fans read as a direct nod to Slane Castle in County Meath, Ireland. The clip shows a figure with a tambourine standing on what appears to be the Slane stage, echoing a photograph of Liam Gallagher performing there in 1995. Fan accounts quickly circulated the image and identified the venue, reinforcing expectations that the band will include Slane on a planned 2027 run.

Drone display points to Monday's announcement

Tour teasers have been building across multiple cities in recent days, with separate video snippets referencing Glasgow, Paris, Amsterdam, Boston and Rome. A drone show over Manchester's Etihad Stadium projected the Oasis logo before displaying the time "4PM BST" and the date "14.09.26," aligning with reports that formal tour confirmation will arrive at 4pm BST on Monday, September 14. Graphic design firm Microdot, which created the band's logo, posted footage of the display, and Oasis later shared their own version soundtracked by "Lyla" and "The Shock Of The Lightning," two songs absent from the Live '25 setlist.

Slane's place in the band's history

The Gallagher brothers first played Slane Castle as R.E.M.'s support act in 1995 before headlining the Co Meath venue in 2009, shortly before the group's Paris split. Their most recent Irish appearance came at Dublin's Croke Park in August 2025 during the Live '25 reunion trek. Promoter SJM has reportedly been granted a license to host shows at the site of Oasis's legendary 1996 Knebworth gigs, and rumoured itinerary items include a 12-night Manchester residency and a return to Knebworth, with Irish fans pointing to a possible multi-date Slane run in August 2027.

Documentary release sets the stage

The teaser activity follows the September 9 cinema release of "Oasis: Don't Look Back In Anger," a documentary covering the Live '25 reunion. Director Steven Knight told NME the film aimed to explain why the band's music remains culturally prominent after 16 years away, while co-directors Will Southern and Dylan Lovelace said it was "shot for spectacle." The Monday announcement is now expected to convert that renewed momentum into concrete 2027 touring plans.

What remains unconfirmed

Neither Oasis nor Slane Castle promoters have officially confirmed Irish dates, and the leaked touring schedule reported by outlets has not been verified by the band. Fans expecting a Manchester residency, a Knebworth return or a wider North American leg will be looking to the September 14 statement for clarity.
