## Key points

- SJM Concerts can now stage major Knebworth events indefinitely.
- The licence fuels unconfirmed Oasis return rumours.
- Oasis’s 1996 Knebworth shows drew 250,000 fans.

## Summary

SJM Concerts, which promoted Oasis’s 2025 reunion tour, has obtained an indefinite licence to stage events at Knebworth. The decision has renewed speculation that Oasis could return to the Hertfordshire venue in 2027, although neither the band nor the promoter has confirmed any planned shows.

The licence permits events for up to 125,000 people and live music until 3am. It arrives during the 30th anniversary year of Oasis’s 1996 Knebworth concerts, which attracted 250,000 people across two nights; recent reports have also suggested a possible 12-date Manchester residency and further UK and European dates in 2027.
