Tickets haven't even gone on sale yet, but Oasis fans are already booking trips. The band's 2027 world tour – 38 dates announced this week – has triggered enormous spikes in travel searches for its host cities, with Glasgow seeing a staggering 2,400% jump in searches compared with the same period last year.
The numbers come from eDreams, the online travel agency, which tracks flights, rail and package bookings. Glasgow, host of the tour's opening five nights, saw searches rise 25-fold. Not far behind are Manchester (+846%), Rome (+659%), Barcelona (+655%), Dublin (+614%), Amsterdam (+592%) and Paris (+279%). The demand ripples across the Atlantic too: Las Vegas searches are up 692% and Boston's by 487%.
The 2027 run follows Oasis's sold-out 2025 reunion tour, which helped drive a record year for UK music tourism. The new itinerary kicks off at Celtic Park in Glasgow on 21 May and ends on 19 September at Knebworth – a venue with deep meaning for the band, whose 1996 shows there became the stuff of British music legend. Between those bookends come stadium nights in Manchester, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston and Las Vegas, plus a show at Ireland's Slane Castle.
For now, the only way in is through the official registration system. Tickets go on sale across three days – Friday 25, Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September – with fans who receive an access code given their own on-sale window. Anyone hoping to fly in for a show should get registered before the sale dates, and ideally line up a backup city in case their first choice sells out or the prices climb.
eDreams chief travel officer Pablo Caspers told Euronews Travel that fans now build entire trips around a single gig rather than just buying a ticket, reshaping demand in cities well beyond the venue. He pointed to the same effect when Taylor Swift's Eras Tour swept Europe – search interest in host cities such as Edinburgh and Liverpool more than doubled almost overnight – and to recurring spikes around Eurovision host cities and festival line-up announcements like Coachella and Primavera Sound.
The takeaway for travellers is simple: big tours now move hotel and flight prices the way major sporting events do. If you're targeting one of the Oasis dates, sorting accommodation early matters more than it used to. Picking a less-obvious show – Munich or Rome, say, rather than Glasgow or Manchester – could mean cheaper flights and easier hotel availability, with the same setlist at the end of it. And with the tour running from late May to mid-September, you can pair a gig with proper summer weather almost anywhere on the itinerary.
Even if you miss out on tickets, the tour dates are a decent excuse to plan a city break around the buzz – the pubs near Celtic Park on gig night will be worth the trip on their own.
