Oasis Drone Show Over Manchester Teases Upcoming Tour Announcement
On Thursday evening, a drone show by Oasis lit up the skies above Manchester, specifically over the Joie Stadium at the Etihad, home to Manchester City Women. The formation began by displaying the band's logo before transitioning to the date 14.09.26 and the time 4pm BST, signaling when an announcement is anticipated. The band, which reunited for the first time since their 2009 split during the Live '25 tour last year, has been teasing potential tour locations on social media, including the Etihad Stadium, Celtic Park, and Knebworth, where they attracted 250,000 fans in 1996. A new documentary, Oasis: Don't Look Back In Anger, released Wednesday, features Liam and Noel Gallagher discussing their reunion, alongside concert footage from their 2025 tour.
