Oasis map the road into Knebworth for Live ’27

Oasis have set out the transport, camping and accessibility arrangements for four nights at Knebworth Park on 11, 12, 18 and 19 September 2027, the English outdoor stand on the Live ’27 world tour. The package is aimed squarely at traffic and congestion: late trains, coach packages from more than a hundred towns, a controlled campsite for the Saturday shows only, and a request from Ticketmaster and the promoters that fans leave cars at home.

Richard Ashcroft is the special guest at all four Knebworth dates. The same stretch of the itinerary also takes in Slane Castle on 4 and 5 September 2027, two nights in County Meath before the Hertfordshire stand. Live ’27 is framed as a 38-show world tour; the Knebworth logistics are the first detailed map of how the largest UK outdoor nights are expected to work on the ground.

Trains, coaches and the walk from Stevenage

Late trains will run from Stevenage to London King's Cross for two hours after each concert. Single tickets are priced at £10. A stewarded, well-lit pedestrian path will connect the station to the venue. The route is intended to keep foot traffic off the surrounding roads after the final encore.

Coach packages will operate from more than 120 locations across England and Wales. The promoters' message alongside that offer is simple: fans are asked not to drive. General admission tickets are listed at £170.50, front standing at £203.50 (both including fees).

Camping is an optional add-on for the Saturday night shows only — 12 and 19 September — and covers the Friday and Saturday nights at £60 per person, parking included. Campsites open on the Friday afternoon, with Friday-night entertainment and late bars. Age rules are strict. Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over, and no under-14s are permitted.

Manchester roots, Britpop weight, Live ’27 scale

Oasis formed in Manchester in 1991, first as the Rain, with Liam Gallagher, Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuigan and Tony McCarroll; Noel Gallagher joined months later and took over the songwriting that shaped the band’s first four albums. They became one of the defining and most globally successful groups of Britpop. The early run still anchors the catalogue: the 1994 debut Definitely Maybe, the same year’s Supersonic, Cigarettes & Alcohol and Live Forever, then (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? in 1995, records that fixed the sound and the ambition of that decade in British rock.

The Live ’27 dates sit after a fresh wave of live documents. Singles drawn from 2025 shows — Edinburgh, Manchester, London, Cardiff, Dublin and Wembley among them — and a remastered sweep of Time Flies… 1994-2009 have kept the current chapter of the band’s return in public view. Knebworth and Slane extend that return onto the big outdoor stages that have always suited the scale of the songs.

Ashcroft’s place on the bill ties a parallel strand of the same era to the same stage. He fronted The Verve from their formation in 1990, writing Bitter Sweet Symphony, Lucky Man and the UK number one The Drugs Don’t Work, before the group’s original split in 1999. A solo career followed: Alone With Everybody in 2000, Human Conditions in 2002, later These People (2016), Natural Rebel (2018) and the acoustic set Acoustic Hymns Vol. 1 in 2021, with further releases into 2025. After a brief Verve reformation in the late 2000s he has remained a solo draw; the Knebworth booking puts that voice in front of the same crowds Oasis are building the tour around.

What the logistics are for

The plans are not decoration. Four nights at Knebworth, two at Slane a week earlier, and a 38-date world tour behind them mean movement on a scale that local roads cannot absorb if everyone arrives by car. Late trains at a fixed cheap fare, a lit and stewarded walk from Stevenage, coaches from more than 120 points, and camping confined to the two Saturday packages are the levers on offer. The age gate — no under-14s, under-16s only with an adult of 18 or over — sets the tone of the site as clearly as the ticket prices.

Further routing detail beyond the UK and Irish dates already named has not been included in this package. For the four Knebworth nights the practical picture is now public: how to get there, where to sleep if the Saturday bill is yours, what it costs at the gate, and who is opening the show. The rest of Live ’27 will fill in around that frame.
