Oasis are reportedly planning their return to Knebworth for 2026 as they add more dates to their highly-anticipated reunion tour.
The shows at the iconic venue in North Hertfordshire would take place 30 years after the rock band played two sold-out shows in 1996.
Insiders told The Sun that both Noel and Liam Gallagher are open to the idea but will officially decide after they’ve started their 19-date reunion tour next year.
The news comes after fans slammed Oasis last week as they complained about the high cost of tickets for his upcoming shows.
And ticket sales for a show at Knebworth would no doubt cause chaos like never before after their previous Knebworth gigs saw the largest ever demand for gig tickets in UK history.

Four per cent of the UK population applied for tickets to see the band there as they played to more than 250,000 fans.
A source told the publication: ‘A return to Knebworth sounds like a pipe dream but it’s now something that is seriously being considered by Noel and Liam.
‘They are fully committed to their comeback next year and want to see how they gel first before making this idea a reality.
‘Noel and Liam know that going back to Knebworth would be iconic and given the massive demand for tickets to the reunion tour, they know it would sell.’
While the brothers previously had the record for the number of fans in attendance, Robbie Williams later stole the title after he played to 375,000 fans over three nights in 2003.
And the source added that the Gallagher’s would be keen to break the former Take That stars record.
A representative for Oasis told MailOnline that the rumoured gigs are not true.
It comes after Oasis and Ticketmaster faced calls to ‘do the right thing’ and refund fans hit by dynamic pricing by consumer group Which?

It comes after Oasis and Ticketmaster faced calls to ‘do the right thing’ and refund fans hit by dynamic pricing by consumer group Which?
The band and ticketing giant have faced the fury of those eager to watch Oasis’s hotly-anticipated reunion tour after the price of standard tickets doubled from £148 to £355.
Ticketmaster said prices were driven up by surging demand and the policy had been agreed with the band’s management, Oasis itself said they were unaware of dynamic pricing would be implemented when tickets initially went on sale.
Since then the Government and the UK’s competition watchdog have pledged to look into the implementation of the policy.
Now Which?, one of Britain’s most well known consumer groups, has called for those who paid more than expected to seal their place at the gigs to have some of their money returned.
Following the controversy, Which? asked Oasis fans to send in screenshots of the ticket-buying and checkout process to see if they were warned that ticket prices could surge due to high levels of demand.
Which? said it received dozens of screenshots from fans who had tried to buy tickets – both before and after prices increased – none of which showed a warning message that Ticketmaster would increase prices during the sale.
Instead, Which? said it saw evidence that fans were shown one price for tickets, only to have that price taken away at the last second and replaced with a far higher, and unexpected, ticket price.
Which? cited one screenshot showing that due to ‘in demand’ pricing the cost of standing tickets at a Heaton Park show – originally advertised for £148.50 – surged to £337.50 each.
Under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (CPRs), traders must not mislead consumers with how prices are presented or leave out key pricing information that they might need to make an informed decision about their purchase.
Which? said many fans were not informed about the increases until after they had already tried to add cheaper tickets to their baskets.
Tickets on Stubhub are being sold for more than £6,300 – while others on Viagogo appear to be up for grabs thousands of pounds amid the chaos
While the use of ‘dynamic pricing’ was mentioned in the terms and conditions on the website, fans were not warned that this practice would be used for Oasis tickets, the watchdog said.
Lisa Webb, Which? Consumer Law Expert, said: ‘It seems extremely unfair that Oasis fans got up early and battled through the queues only to find that tickets prices had more than doubled from the originally advertised price.
‘Which? believes that Ticketmaster’s ‘in demand’ pricing practices for Oasis tickets could have breached consumer law as it appears fans weren’t properly warned about the use of “in demand” pricing until far too late in the purchase journey – leading to a nasty shock at the checkout.
‘Oasis and Ticketmaster should do the right thing and refund fans who may have been misled into paying over the odds for tickets that would have been half the price just hours earlier.’
A spokesperson for Ticketmaster said: ‘Fans can resell their Oasis tickets at the full price they paid through Ticketmaster or Twickets.’
