In Manchester, the local festival Parklife shifted its 2027 dates from June to July for the first time in its history, a move fans believe was designed to prevent a logistical clash with the Etihad residency.
An insider previously detailed the scale of the homecoming shows and their potential expansion when speaking to the Manchester Evening News.
"It will be 12 nights at the Etihad Stadium across May and June. It's just massive for Manchester and for the local economy," the insider stated.
The source highlighted that demand could push the residency even further than initially scheduled.

He followed up with another post focusing on the same timeline shift: "Bring on 2027… I mean 2026."
When earlier pressed by fans in 2025 about the impending conclusion of their initial comeback dates, the singer hinted at undisclosed developments.
"I'm not actually, as I know things you don't know," Liam replied.
International dates are also under consideration, fueled by the frontman's interaction with fans abroad.
When a fan questioned him in Italy about a potential appearance in the capital next year, his response was definitive.
"Without a doubt. 100 percent," Liam replied.
