LauraHOST
Okay, we're done with our puns now.
LauraHOST
But a drone display over Manchester promised an announcement from the band at 4:00 today, and a cryptic social media post over the weekend fueled speculation that a return to Slane Castle could be on the cards.
LauraHOST
Joining us now is music journalist and owner of the Nialler9 music website, Niall Byrne.
LauraHOST
Good morning, Niall.
LauraHOST
Talk us through some of the hints suggesting a new tour is in the offing.
Niall ByrneGUEST
Yeah.
Niall ByrneGUEST
So, um, first of all, there was a kind of a leaked schedule that came out about two weeks ago and, uh, s- with suggestion that Slane had five nights in August next summer and along with 12 nights at the A89 and, uh, Celtic Par- Celtic Park, we had Paris.
Niall ByrneGUEST
Um, and since then, the, uh, Oasis ha- uh, Instagram account has been revealing all of these, uh, lovely video vignettes which feature these, uh, clues about places, uh, that they're probably playing, and they inc- have ramped up in recent days.
Mairead TuigHOST
This is around MCD, which is the promoter.
Mairead TuigHOST
Communications between concert promoters MCD and Meath County Council show Slane Castle is set to host four concerts next year.
Mairead TuigHOST
doubling the number of shows typically held at the venue and fuelling speculation that Oasis may return as part of a tour they'd be doing next year.
Mairead TuigHOST
There were some documents released under the Freedom of Information Act and it's showing €61,000 will again be paid into the Slain Community Support Fund to cover two concerts in 2027 with an additional €31,000 covering a third and fourth show next year.
JamesHOST
Obviously Sin City being the, the main name for Vegas.
JamesHOST
And then the one that came out today is clearly Slane Castle.
JamesHOST
It's the very famous image that sometimes gets mistaken for Knebworth, but it's not Knebworth.
JamesHOST
It is Slane Castle when they supported REM.
JamesHOST
And so there's someone is stood overlooking the, uh, the Slane Castle, and it's exactly the image, you know, with the big tambourine behind the back.
JamesHOST
It's the same image that, you know, that, that Liam is stood in exactly the same pose.
JamesHOST
So yeah, so that feels like Slane Castle.
JamesHOST
So if we look back at like all the rumors of all the different places, it feels like tomorrow will be the last one, and that will be Knebworth, and that will then be all of them done.

Grainger, for the ones who get it done.
speaker_1HOST
So I just heard that Oasis might be teasing a concert at Slane Castle for their 2027 tour.
speaker_1HOST

speaker_2HOST
Wait, seriously.
speaker_2HOST
Slane Castle.
speaker_2HOST
That's such an iconic venue.
speaker_2HOST
It totally fits the vibe of their music.
speaker_1HOST
Right, I mean it's like a pilgrimage site for rock fans, but this makes me think why Slane Castle now?
Sarah JenningsNARRATOR
That bright and tranquil stream, the boundary of Louth and Meath, having flowed many miles between verdant banks crowned by modern palaces and by the ruined keeps of old Norman barons of the Pale, is here about to mingle with the sea.
Sarah JenningsNARRATOR
Five miles to the west of the place from which William looked down on the river now stands on a verdant bank, amidst noble woods, Slane Castle, the mansion of the Marquis of Conyngham.
Sarah JenningsNARRATOR
Two miles to the east a cloud of smoke from factories and steam vessels overhangs the busy town and port of Drogheda.
Sarah JenningsNARRATOR
On the Meath side of the Boyne the ground, still all corn, grass, flowers, and foliage, rises with a gentle swell to an eminence surmounted by a conspicuous tuft of ash-trees which overshades the ruined church and desolate graveyard of Donore.
