Liam Gallagher has forcefully dismissed speculation that Oasis will headline the Glastonbury Festival in 2027. Following reports placing the band among the favourites for Worthy Farm, the singer took to social media with a foul-mouthed response, telling fans the anticipated reunion gig is simply not happening.
- Liam Gallagher shut down odds placing Oasis at 4/1 to headline Glastonbury 2027.
- Both Gallagher brothers have previously criticised the Somerset festival, with Noel labelling it “virtue-signalling” and Liam comparing the Pyramid Stage audience to “jamboree teachers.”
- Fans can catch the band’s upcoming cinematic documentary, Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger, hitting theatres and Disney Plus on September 9.
Sashing the Worthy Farm Speculation
The rumour mill kicked into overdrive following reports that the Manchester band were leading bookmakers’ odds to return to the Pyramid Stage during the festival’s comeback year in 2027. An Oasis fan account highlighted that The Scotsman placed the group at 4/1 favorites to take the top spot, prompting widespread excitement across social media platforms.
Here is the kicker. Liam Gallagher had zero patience for the festival chatter. He fired back on X with an explicit directive for supporters to calm down.
The singer posted: “It’s not HAPPENING so all you croc wearing flag waving shit c** can calm the f* down.”
A Long History of Festival Friction
While Oasis previously headlined Worthy Farm in 1995 and 2004, neither brother has hidden their modern disdain for the Somerset institution in recent years. Last year, when a supporter asked on social media if the brothers would ever grace the Pyramid Stage again, Liam offered a blunt “Hope not.”
He doubled down on his critique of the main stage environment, comparing the massive crowds to “jamboree teachers” and describing festival-goers as “a load of divs dressed in Ty die (sic) clothes banging clogs and blowing up balloons all with psycho smiles and crusty eyes and red wine mouths.”
Meanwhile, older brother Noel Gallagher has been equally vocal about his shifting relationship with the massive cultural event. Speaking on a podcast, the 59-year-old musician didn’t hold back his thoughts on what he perceives as a changing atmosphere at Worthy Farm.
“It’s getting a bit woke now, that place, and a bit kind of preachy and a bit virtue-signalling,” Noel remarked. Despite his critique of political statements from artists on stage, the songwriter still admitted that the festival remains a cultural heavyweight, calling it “probably the best f****** thing about Britain apart from the Premier League.”
Oasis Live 25 Tour and Cinematic Release
The fiery social media exchange arrives as the brothers prepare to share an intimate look at their reunion. Next month marks the release of a new feature documentary chronicling the Live 25 Tour that kicked off in Cardiff in July last year.
Titled Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger, the project captures the reunion following their 15-year hiatus, triggered by a backstage brawl at France’s Rock en Seine festival in 2009. The documentary hits cinemas on September 9 and will simultaneously stream on Disney Plus, featuring the first joint interviews from Noel and Liam in over 20 years.

What Comes Next for the Britpop Icons
With eight number one singles and albums each in the UK charts, the outfit clearly doesn’t need a Worthy Farm booking to dominate headlines. As demand for their catalog—featuring anthems like “Wonderwall,” “Champagne Supernova” and “Some Might Say”—remains, the band continues to dictate its own terms.
