Oasis live in Rome: confirmation comes via a drone show over the Stadio Olimpico

It's now official: Oasis will return to Italy in 2027, and they'll do it in Rome. After days of rumours, confirmation arrived via a spectacular drone show above the Stadio Olimpico: dozens of lights formed the Manchester band's iconic logo in the sky, also revealing where the Roman shows will be held. A move loaded with symbolic meaning, replicated just hours later with a similar display above Manchester's Etihad Stadium, almost drawing a line between the Gallagher brothers' city and the Italian capital. For a few minutes, the sky above the Olimpico turned into a giant screen carrying an unmistakable message for Italian fans.

The video was immediately shared by Alessandro Onorato, Rome's Councillor for Major Events, Sport, Tourism and Fashion, who wrote on social media: "Oasis in Rome", adding: "Thank you for choosing our city, we'll be waiting for you." The Rome city council had long been working to bring Liam and Noel Gallagher back to the capital, and last spring, when asked by a fan about the possibility of playing Rome in 2027, Liam himself had replied: "No doubt."
Fans will have to wait a few more hours for all the details: the official announcement of the world tour schedule is expected today, Monday 14 September, at 5pm Italian time. However, rumours circulating in recent weeks point with growing certainty to two shows at the Stadio Olimpico, on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 July 2027.

If the dates are confirmed, it will mark Oasis's return to Italy after almost twenty years, their last show in the country having taken place back in 2009. Rome looks set to be part of a major new European leg of the reunion, which will also include UK dates plus shows in Paris and Munich. All ticket details, meanwhile, are still to be confirmed. Prices, Stadio Olimpico seating sections, and sale times and methods should be announced together with the official schedule. Some reports suggest sales could open in the days immediately following the announcement, though there's no confirmation of this at the moment. After the success of the reunion and the tour that brought Liam and Noel Gallagher back together, 2027 is now set to mark a new chapter in the Oasis story. And this time, after years of waiting, Italian fans will finally be part of it too.
