Oasis Will Not Headline Glastonbury 2027, Emily Eavis Confirms

Organizer Emily Eavis puts an end to speculation, confirming the rock band won't play Worthy Farm next summer despite their tour schedule.

By Rae MitchellPublished Updated 2 min read

Oasis fans hoping for a historic Glastonbury appearance just got hit with a massive reality check. Despite the legendary rock band taking to the road for an extensive tour schedule next summer, they will officially not be gracing the main stage at Worthy Farm in 2027. Festival organizer Emily Eavis has formally shut down the swirling rumors. Eavis confirmed that the iconic group will not be headlining the legendary UK music event, crushing the dreams of millions of concertgoers who hoped to see the group take over the world-famous festival grounds.

Is Oasis playing Glastonbury 2027 Speculation had been running at maximum volume across social media and fan circles for months. With news that the rock band would be actively touring next summer, fans immediately connected the dots and predicted a grand headlining slot at Worthy Farm. The timing seemed almost too perfect for festival-goers holding out for a legendary weekend. Because the band will already be out on the road performing during that period next summer, hype built rapidly that a headline set was a done deal. However, Eavis stepped forward to set the record completely straight. The festival organizer made it official that Oasis is strictly off the roster for Glastonbury 2027, putting an abrupt end to the online chatter.

Why is Oasis skipping Worthy Farm For music lovers around the globe, Glastonbury represents the absolute peak of live entertainment. Watching a massive rock band headline Worthy Farm is widely considered the ultimate festival experience. That is precisely why the direct confirmation from Eavis hit the music community so hard. Even though the band will be actively on tour around that time next summer, a stop at the iconic festival grounds simply is not on their schedule. The update provides definitive clarity for concertgoers trying to figure out their summer plans. Fans hoping to catch the rock icons live will now have to look exclusively at their official tour dates. Holding out hope for a surprise trip to Worthy Farm is no longer an option for 2027. While Glastonbury organizers look elsewhere to fill their top slots, Oasis will be bringing their live show to stadiums and arenas elsewhere.
