Amongst the 38 live shows Oasis will perform in 2027, the announcement of the band’s long-awaited return to Knebworth has been met with a rush of excitement. In order to provide the best possible access and concert experience, promoters are taking a brand new approach to live music at Knebworth for Oasis Live ‘27. Fans are advised not to drive to Knebworth, and to consider the transport options put in place specially for Oasis’ return to the iconic venue, over 30 years since their historic 1996 concerts.
Rob Ballantine, promoter for Oasis, said:
“Oasis have challenged us to make Oasis Live ‘27 at Knebworth the best possible fan experience – this is our goal. Working with Great British Rail we have trains running from Stevenage direct to London Kings Cross after every show until 01:30am, with train tickets at £10. We will also have the largest coach service for any cultural event in the UK.Customers can avoid concert day travel altogether if they choose the campsite option for a Saturday show, arriving on Friday and enjoying the Campsite Village atmosphere, leaving on Sunday morning after the Saturday concert. We have created the largest Accessible Viewing Platform for a Knebworth gig and, in another first, three grandstands at the rear of the arena will provide a reserved seat and access to hospitality in the Knebworth House Gardens. To help create the best possible experience, we are encouraging fans not to come by car, but to take advantage of the new options we have created for Oasis Live ‘27 at Knebworth.”
Railway
In a first for a Knebworth concert, Great British Rail will offer train tickets to London Kings Cross from Stevenage Station after all Oasis Live ‘27 Knebworth shows. A direct service at approximately 30 minutes, running from 11:30pm to 01.30am, is capped at £10 exclusively for Oasis Live ‘27 Knebworth concert goers. The ticket is a one way option, and fans must choose their own route to get to Knebworth. A stewarded, lit pedestrianised route will guide fans from the concert site to Stevenage Station.
Coach Return
Coach return travel routes will operate from over 120 locations across the UK. Fans can choose from three coach ticket zones via Ticketmaster, selecting their pick up point and seat. Fans will be dropped off a five minute walk from the arena. At the end of the concert, fans have one hour to board their return coach with food outlets, bars and toilets remaining open for coach travellers. This is anticipated to be the biggest movement of fans by coach to a single live event ever seen in the UK.
Campsite Village
In another first for Knebworth, an independent purpose-built Campsite Village with its own dedicated car park and concert entrance will alleviate traffic congestion and queuing. Camping is available only for the Saturday 11th and 19th September shows. Fans who are successful in purchasing a Saturday ticket will have the option to add a Campsite Village ticket. This allows arrival the day before the concert, campsite car parking, a campsite pitch and direct walk-through access from the campsite to the arena. Late night entertainment in the Campsite Village will also be staged both on Friday and Saturday nights. The Campsite Village is priced at £60 per person.
Reserved Grandstand seat and Hospitality
Oasis promoters will construct a grandstand at the rear of the arena, with a front view of the stage, a reserved seat, open to the elements, accessed via stairs. Toilets will be located immediately behind the grandstand, and a pedestrian bridge with steps will allow access to the stunning Knebworth Gardens, where premium hospitality, food and drink will be available.
Accessible Viewing
In front of the grandstand will be the largest accessible viewing platform ever constructed at Knebworth. The platform is accessed by ramps, with a direct front facing view of the stage. Oasis promoters are working to make the journey in and out of the greenfield site as easy as possible, and to implement accessible facilities.
Further access options will be announced.
Demand for Oasis Live ’27 is expected to be extremely high, and so a registration process has been put in place to reduce queuing times and organised ticket touting in order to give genuine fans the best possible chance to buy tickets. Registration is open now at www.oasisinet.com.
