Sources close to the band told The Sun that both Noel and Liam Gallagher are open to the idea, but will only make an official decision after they begin their 19-date reunion tour next year.
Four per cent of the UK population requested tickets to see the band there as they played to more than 250,000 fans.
A source told the publication: ‘Returning to Knebworth sounds like a pipe dream but it’s now something Noel and Liam are seriously considering.
‘They are fully committed to returning next year and want to see how they fit in before making this idea a reality.
‘Noel and Liam know that returning to Knebworth would be an iconic event and, given the huge demand for tickets for the reunion tour, they know they would sell out.’
While the brothers previously held the record for most fans in attendance, Robbie Williams later stole the title after playing to 375,000 fans over three nights in 2003.
And the source added that the Gallaghers would be keen to break the former Take That stars’ record.
An Oasis representative told MailOnline that the rumours about concerts are not true.

This comes after Oasis and Ticketmaster faced calls to “do the right thing” and refund fans affected by dynamic pricing from consumer group Which?
The band and ticket giant have faced fury from those eager to see Oasis’ long-awaited reunion tour after the price of standard tickets was doubled from £148 to £355.
Ticketmaster said prices had been raised due to growing demand and the policy had been agreed with the band’s management, while Oasis said they were unaware that dynamic pricing would be implemented when tickets initially went on sale.
The UK government and competition watchdog have since agreed to review the implementation of the policy.
Now Which?, one of Britain’s best-known consumer groups, has called for those who paid more than expected to secure their place at concerts to get some of their money back.
Following the controversy, Which? asked Oasis fans to send screenshots of the ticket purchase and payment process to see if they were warned that ticket prices could rise due to high levels of demand.
Which? said it received dozens of screenshots from fans trying to buy tickets, both before and after prices were raised, none of which showed a warning message that Ticketmaster would be raising prices during the sale.
Instead, Which? said it saw evidence that fans were shown one price for tickets, only for that price to be taken away at the last second and replaced with a much higher and unexpected ticket price.
Which? cited a screenshot showing that due to “demand-based” pricing, the cost of standing room tickets for a show at Heaton Park (originally advertised at £148.50) had risen to £337.50 each.
Under the Consumer Protection and Unfair Trading Practices Regulations (CPRs), traders must not mislead consumers by the way prices are presented or omit key pricing information that they may need to make an informed decision about their purchase.
Which? said many fans were not informed about the increases until after they had already tried to add cheaper tickets to their baskets.

Tickets on Stubhub are selling for more than £6,300, while others on Viagogo appear to be on sale for thousands of pounds amid the chaos.
While the use of “dynamic pricing” was mentioned in the website’s terms and conditions, fans were not warned that this practice would be used for Oasis tickets, the watchdog said.
Lisa Webb, consumer law expert at Which?, said: “It seems extremely unfair that Oasis fans woke up early and had to queue to discover that ticket prices had doubled the originally advertised price.
‘Which? believes Ticketmaster’s “on-demand” pricing practices for Oasis tickets may have breached consumer law, as it appears fans were not adequately warned about the use of “on-demand” pricing until too late in the purchasing process, leading to a nasty surprise at the till.
‘Oasis and Ticketmaster should do the right thing and refund fans who may have been misled and overpaid for tickets that would have been half price just hours earlier.’
A Ticketmaster spokesperson said: “Fans can resell their Oasis tickets at the full price they paid through Ticketmaster or Twickets.”
