Oasis drone show sets Monday tour announcement date

Oasis have set a date for a major tour announcement, revealing it through a large drone light show over Manchester on Thursday night, September 10, 2026. The display, staged above the Joie Stadium on the Etihad campus, showed the band's iconic black and white logo before transitioning to the figures 14.09.26 and 4pm, indicating that full details of a new tour will be announced on Monday, September 14 at 4pm BST. The 120-metre drone display rose from the ground of the Joie Stadium, home of Manchester City Women, at around 11pm and remained visible for roughly ten minutes. Many onlookers stopped to record the spectacle, and clips circulated widely on social media. The timing coincided with crowds leaving a concert by Evanescence at the neighbouring Co-op Live arena. The video of the display was posted by Microdot, the graphic design company behind the Oasis logo, which has produced artwork for the band. The announcement date follows a week of teasers on the band's official social media channels, each containing clues pointing to a different city or venue.
