Oasis announce 2025 tour dates for five gigs in North America | Ents & Arts News

Oasis have announced five stadium shows across North America as part of their reunion tour next year.

The concerts add to the already planned UK and Ireland shows that will begin the band’s first tour since 2009 next year.

Posting the dates on social media and their website, Oasis said they will play:

• Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Canada, on 24 August
• Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois, in the US on 28 August
• MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on 31 August
• Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on 6 September
• Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City, Mexico, on 12 September

Announcing the shows, the band said: “America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”

Pre-sale tickets will be released on 3 October, while the general sale takes place on 4 October.

The band also said on their website they “strongly advise that those wishing to purchase tickets register in advance of the sale with Ticketmaster”.

In an official statement shortly after the North American tour was announced, Oasis said Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model – where prices vary based on demand – will not be used in the sale of tickets.

They said that while the model “remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting” and to keep prices for many fans “lower than the market rate,” they added that when “unprecedented ticket demand” is “combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans”.

“We have made this decision for the North America tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the UK and Ireland experienced recently,” Oasis said.

Fans have suffered various problems with ticket websites since Oasis announced their reunion, from being kicked out of the queue because they were labelled bots, to some ending up paying as much as £355 for tickets originally advertised for £148.

In the UK, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has launched an investigation into Ticketmaster, looking at how dynamic pricing may have been used, and whether the sale by Ticketmaster may have breached consumer protection law.

Ticketmaster maintains it does not set concert prices and its website says this is down to the “event organiser” who “has priced these tickets according to their market value”.

The last time Oasis played in the US was on 20 December 2008, when they played the EagleBank Arena – then known as the Patriot Center – in Fairfax, Virginia.

Liam Gallagher also appeared to hint at a US tour earlier in the month, saying on X in response to a fan: “I love America and I know deep down you love ME.”
