The Knebworth Licence and Etihad Residency Rumours

Speculation grew significantly after North Hertfordshire Council approved a fresh premises licence for Knebworth House. Granted with immediate effect to long-time tour promoter SJM Concerts, the approval permits events with a capacity of up to 125,000 attendees, running into the early hours of the morning.

While official channels have not confirmed the specific artist attached to the licence, industry reports indicate Oasis is eyeing a record-breaking six-night run at the iconic Hertfordshire site, thirty years after their landmark 1996 performances.

Alongside the Knebworth dates, plans are reportedly taking shape for a major homecoming residency in Manchester at the Etihad Stadium. According to an industry insider reporting to The Sun's Bizarre column, the framework for the upcoming run has already been established:

"Oasis’ schedule is booked. It’s 12 nights at the Etihad over six weeks starting in June."

The source further detailed the second leg of the proposed itinerary:

"They will then play Knebworth six times over a three-week period in September. Dates could be added but for now that’s the master plan."

Glastonbury Festival Ruled Out

Despite high placement in bookmakers' odds for major festival appearances, Liam Gallagher has firmly dismissed claims that the band will top the bill at Glastonbury.

Addressing a fan on X regarding the festival rumours, Gallagher offered a direct rebuttal:

“It’s not happening. So all you croc wearing, flag waving, s*** c**** can calm the f*** down. (sic)”

Teasing the scale of whatever future performances do take place, the singer added:

“If we do any more gigs we’re gonna lick it up to ras. (sic)”
