Speculation over more Oasis reunion shows reached fever pitch after Liam Gallagher hinted at Wembley that fans could see the band back on stage again in 2026.
Online bookmakers slashed the odds on Oasis returning to Knebworth, the site of their legendary 1996 concerts, to just 1/5.
Knebworth the 1/5 favourite
The rumours followed the band’s triumphant string of reunion shows, hailed as one of the biggest comebacks in music history. Fans flooded social media with excitement and theories about what could come next for the Manchester icons.
Oasis were made 1/5 favourites to play Knebworth again in 2026, while they were even money (1/1) to perform at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium, marking 30 years since their iconic Maine Road gigs.
| Oasis 2026 Show | Odds |
|---|---|
| Return to Knebworth | 1/5 |
| Manchester Etihad Stadium | 1/1 |
A milestone year
Such odds reflected growing confidence that the Gallagher brothers were gearing up for another major announcement. Odds analyst Dave James said:
“Next year marks 30 years since the brothers’ legendary Knebworth shows, and their unforgettable nights at Maine Road. With such a milestone ahead, it would be the perfect time for Oasis to extend their record-breaking tour after the phenomenal reaction so far.”
The reunion had already reignited a wave of nostalgia across the UK, with millions clamouring for tickets and venues selling out within minutes. Industry insiders believe a return to Knebworth, a site forever linked with the band’s 90s dominance, would be the ultimate celebration of their legacy.
The signs pointing to more shows
Fan speculation intensified when Liam Gallagher deleted a cryptic X post hinting at “unfinished business,” while Noel Gallagher dodged questions about a Knebworth return during a recent interview. The brothers’ newfound chemistry on stage only fuelled hopes that more shows were inevitable.
As of now, Oasis have yet to officially confirm any 2026 dates, but with bookies pricing a Knebworth comeback as near-certain and Manchester gigs at 50-50, the speculation, and the odds, point firmly to a return. More market-led music coverage sits in the site’s music odds, including the markets around the band’s Cardiff reunion show.
