Oasis are preparing to announce their huge Celtic Park gigs after releasing a cryptic video packed with clues pointing directly towards the Glasgow stadium.
The band sent fans into a frenzy on Thursday, 3 September, when a mysterious 23-second clip appeared across their official social media accounts.
It comes less than a week after Scottish News revealed that Oasis are to return to Scotland for a spectacular run of concerts at Celtic Park next year.
Five dates – 22, 23, 24, 26 and 29 May 2027 – have been under consideration as part of plans for the next stage of the band’s hugely successful reunion.
Now Oasis themselves have dropped their biggest hint yet about the Glasgow shows.
The new video shows two young Oasis fans sitting inside a traditional fish and chip shop while the band’s 2002 single Little By Little plays on a television in the background.
A series of apparently innocuous numbers scattered around the shop have attracted particular attention.
Fans piecing the clues together discovered that they appear to form the coordinates of Celtic Park.
A “family chippy bundle” is advertised at the highly unusual price of £55.84, while other numbers visible in the clip include -4, 2.05, 9892 and 638.
Combined, they can be interpreted as coordinates of 55.849892, -4.205638 – pointing directly towards Celtic Park in Glasgow’s East End.
Cans of Irn-Bru can be seen inside a fridge, while one of the boys chooses a Mars bar to be battered at the chip shop counter.
The choice of Little By Little has significance for Glasgow fans. The song’s original music video featured Glasgow-born actor Robert Carlyle.
Oasis offered no explanation for the clip, accompanying it on social media simply with an egg timer and eyes emojis – adding to expectations that an announcement is approaching.
Scottish News reported on 28 August that an announcement was expected during September as Oasis prepare for the next chapter of their reunion.
Music industry figures in London and Dublin indicated that the announcement would coincide with the launch of the band’s new documentary, Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger.
Oasis returned to Scotland for the first time in 16 years last summer when they played three sold-out nights at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh as part of their Live ‘25 reunion tour.
Around 200,000 fans attended the three concerts.
A run of five dates at Celtic Park would potentially attract more than 250,000 people to Glasgow’s east end and would rank among the biggest series of concerts staged in Scotland.
After months of speculation, the wait for confirmation is nearing its end.
