The lights went up over Manchester, and so did the speculation. Oasis illuminated the night sky above the Etihad's Joie Stadium — home to Manchester City Women — with a drone display widely read by fans as a tease of a new tour announcement, the BBC reports.
No dates, cities or ticket details have been confirmed by the band as of this writing. What's known comes from the display itself and the reaction it drew: a burst of imagery over a Manchester City venue, in the band's hometown, at a moment when Oasis's ongoing reunion has already reshaped the touring landscape for British rock.
We're not going to guess at a setlist or a route. If Liam and Noel Gallagher's camp confirms specifics, we'll report them. Until then, this is a tease, not a tour — and we're labeling it as such.
If I can't source it, you won't read it here.
