NEW YORK — Oasis startled fans this month when they announced a reunion tour, ending a 15-year break and, presumably, the long-running feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. But those were exclusively UK dates. On Monday, the band announced that they will also tour North America in 2025.
“America. Oasis is coming. “You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along,” the Britpop band known for timeless singles like “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” wrote in a statement.
There are five more stadium dates for next summer, including Toronto, Chicago, outside of York, Los Angeles, and Mexico City. The opening act will be Cage the Elephant, an American rock band.
Oasis Adds US, Canada And Mexico Stops To 2025 Tour
Last month, fans attempting to get tickets to Oasis’ U.K. shows were disappointed by error warnings, hours-long online lineups, and dynamic pricing, which caused prices to quickly climb and fall in response to demand. A spokeswoman for Oasis management stated on Monday that “Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model will not be applied to the forthcoming sale of tickets to Oasis concerts in North America.” This could be a solution to at least one of the difficulties.
“When unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans,” according to the statement. “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.”

After years of infighting, Oasis disbanded in 2009, with Noel Gallagher officially leaving moments before a performance at a festival near Paris. Even before the breakup, the brothers had an acrimonious relationship, and they reportedly did not talk for years afterward. While the Gallagher brothers have not performed together since they frequently perform Oasis songs at their solo shows.
Tickets for North America will go on sale at 12 p.m. local time on Friday. Registration for the presale is accessible until Tuesday at 8 a.m. Eastern.
