Oasis will not headline Glastonbury 2027, organiser Emily Eavis confirms
Glastonbury organizer Emily Eavis has confirmed that the band Oasis will not headline the 2027 festival. The announcement follows speculation fueled by the band's upcoming tour schedule.
Why it matters
Glastonbury is a major cultural event, and the lineup of headliners is a significant topic of interest in the global music industry.

Oasis may be back on tour next summer but they will not be playing Glastonbury Festival, according to co-organiser Emily Eavis.
The band announced a series of 2027 gigs across the UK, Ireland, Europe and the US last week, leaving a potentially Glastonbury-shaped hole in their calendar.
Oasis are due to play concerts at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium on the Friday and Saturday of Glastonbury, but don't currently have their own gig scheduled on the Sunday.
This led some fans to conclude the Gallaghers may have been planning to rock up at Worthy Farm's Pyramid Stage to close the event. But Eavis has put those rumours to bed in a direct response to one Glastonbury-goer on social media.
"Please say you've got Oasis," commented one follower on Instagram.
