Manchester City footballer Jack is hoping to see the reunited Gallagher brothers even more times next year if the band announce a new Oasis Live 2027 tour…
A host of stars joined Oasis at their big UK premiere of the new docufilm Don’t Look Back in Anger, and among them was some of Liam and Noel Gallagher’s footballer pals too. And one Manchester City star is such a big fan he’s already plotting how many shows he hopes to see when the band finally announced their much-teased new tour in 2027.
Blues star Jack Grealish (currently on loan to Everton) rocked the red carpet along with his glamorous partner Sasha Attwood on Leicester Square on Monday night. They were among a host of famous faces walking a special black carpet laid out for the occasion at the Cineworld in the capital who also included BBC star Vernon Kay, Manc music icon Johnny Marr and comedian Rob Beckett.
And for Jack, it was a huge thrill to head along to be among the first to watch the new Oasis film, as he’s a massive fan of the band.

He told the MEN how he had watched them TWICE at their big reunion gigs at Heaton Park in Manchester last summer. But that has simply whetted his appetite further and now he wants MORE.
For he said that if, as is widely anticipated, the band announce a new 2027 tour later this week, he’ll be clamouring to get tickets for even more gigs the next time around.
Jack told the MEN on the red carpet: “I’m a massive Oasis fan so I can’t wait to see the film.” Talking about his highlights of Oasis Live 25, he said: “I went to two at Heaton Park me, I tried to go to as many as I could.
“I was there for the first one at Heaton Park and I’ll never forget that day, it’s the best I’ve ever been to.”
When asked about his favourite song or moment from the last tour, he said: “I’ve got loads, but I’d say Slide Away, I just like the lyrics.”
As for a tour next year: “If it happens, I can’t wait. I’ll be at more than two shows.”
Jack may be in luck with securing tickets, given the band are set to play 12 HUGE gigs at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium in June 2027, according to music industry sources. Given his current loan spell with Everton, his footballing future may not be with the Blues, but we’re sure he’ll be keen to see the band back on their home turf there next summer all the same.
The band themselves have been teasing that big run of Etihad gigs with one of a host of cryptic videos that have been posted at the exact same time every day since last Thursday. The MEN understands a big tour announcement will be coming within days now, with tickets set to go on sale before the end of the month.
In the meantime, fans can savour once again all the best moments of the Oasis Live 25 tour in the new movie, created by Peaky Blinders writer Stephen Knight and from directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace.
It features never-before-seen backstage and rehearsal footage during the tour, as well as renditions of some of their biggest hits as captured on stage during the Live ’25 set of shows. Following its cinema release, the film will make its way to Disney+ in the UK, but a streaming date has not yet been announced.
As well as also including the first joint interview with the Gallagher brothers since the start of the tour, the film also explores ‘the profound emotional impact of this phenomenal global cultural moment and what their music means to audiences and generations worldwide’.
Steven Knight said: “The Oasis world tour united generations, cultures and countries and spoke to a broken world about reconciliation. ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ is not only your ticket to the show – it’s a backstage pass and a seat at the table when Liam and Noel sit down together for the first time in 15 years and tell it how it is and how it was.”
At the London premiere, like the Venice world premiere at the weekend, neither Liam and Noel did any press interviews on the red carpet.
However, they made time to meet fans who attended the event, and signed a host of memorabilia many had brought along.
