Oasis may be preparing for another massive tour, but Noel Gallagher is considering leaving one longtime piece of the rock-and-roll lifestyle at home.
The guitarist and songwriter says he may give up alcohol while Oasis tours in 2027, joining brother Liam Gallagher in taking a more disciplined approach to life on the road.
Liam plans to stay away from alcohol during the upcoming tour, and Noel has indicated he could follow suit. The reasoning is less about reinventing the Gallagher brothers and more about dealing with the realities of an ambitious touring schedule decades after Oasis first became one of Britain’s biggest bands.
Noel has acknowledged that the group simply cannot tour the way it did during its wildest years. The late nights and excess associated with the band’s 1990s heyday are being replaced by an approach built around conserving energy, getting enough rest and deciding carefully when to let loose.
It is quite the evolution for a band whose reputation was once fueled almost as much by offstage chaos as by the songs coming from the speakers.
The adjustment comes as Oasis prepares for another substantial chapter in its unlikely reunion.
After returning to the stage together in 2025 following a 16-year break, Noel and Liam discovered that the appetite for Oasis had hardly disappeared. Noel says plans to continue the reunion took shape during the band’s Wembley Stadium run, once it became clear that the comeback was working.
Now Oasis is preparing to do it all again on an even larger scale.
The band’s 2027 itinerary stretches across Europe and the United States, with 38 shows planned between May and September. Glasgow will host five performances at Celtic Park, while the band’s hometown of Manchester gets an enormous 11-show run at Etihad Stadium.
Oasis will also travel through major European cities including Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and Rome before heading across the Atlantic for concerts in Boston and Las Vegas.
The tour will eventually bring the band back to one of the most important locations in Oasis history: Knebworth. Four concerts there will mark 30 years since the band’s landmark 1996 appearances, which became defining moments of the Britpop era.
One thing apparently not coming along for the ride is a batch of new Oasis songs.
Despite the reunion’s continued momentum, Noel has made clear that there are no plans for new music. For now, Oasis appears focused on the enormous catalog that turned the Manchester group into one of the defining British rock bands of its generation.
So the 2027 version of Oasis may look slightly different from the one that conquered the 1990s.
The songs remain loud. The crowds remain enormous. The Gallaghers are still together.
The bedtime, apparently, has just gotten earlier.
