Fans of British rock band Oasis can rejoice as the iconic group expands its highly anticipated reunion tour to North America in 2025. After years of speculation and hopes for a comeback, the Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, have answered the call of their American fanbase, announcing new US tour dates for the first time in over a decade. The announcement has sparked excitement across the music world, especially after the band’s 2024 UK and European dates sold out in record time. The US leg of the tour is set to kick off in late August, giving American fans a chance to witness the band’s legendary hits performed live. Oasis took to social media to announce the new dates. A post on the band’s X (formerly Twitter) account read, “America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.” This tour will mark the band’s first US shows since their infamous split in 2009.
The tour will begin on August 24, 2025, at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Ontario, before moving through key US cities, including Chicago, Illinois, East Rutherford, New Jersey, Los Angeles, California, and Mexico City, Mexico. These major venues are expected to draw large crowds, eager to hear iconic hits like Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova, and Live Forever.
Following the overwhelming demand for tickets to the UK and Ireland shows, the band's management has taken precautions to prevent similar issues during the North American ticket sales. Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model, which adjusts prices based on demand, will not be applied for Oasis' North American leg. This decision was made to ensure fans can enjoy a smoother purchasing process and avoid the chaos that plagued the UK ticket sales. This decision comes after thousands of UK and Irish fans struggled to secure tickets for the band’s comeback shows due to technical issues on Ticketmaster’s platform. The ticketing mess prompted the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to launch an investigation into Ticketmaster, exploring whether the company had breached consumer protection laws.
The band’s management is hopeful that these new measures will prevent similar disruptions and ensure a better experience for American fans. Oasis fans looking to secure tickets for the 2025 North American tour will have the opportunity to do so through a pre-sale registration process, which is currently open on the band’s official website. Registration for pre-sale will remain open until Tuesday at 8 AM ET, offering fans an early chance to grab tickets before the general public. For those unable to participate in the pre-sale, general ticket sales will open on Friday, noon local time, for all dates. Given the incredible demand for the band’s reunion shows, fans are encouraged to be prepared when tickets go live, as venues are expected to sell out quickly.
The 2025 reunion tour marks a historic moment for Oasis and their loyal fanbase. The band has not toured together since 2009, when a backstage fight between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher led to the band’s split. Their contentious relationship, filled with public spats and barbed comments, has long been a subject of fascination for fans and media alike. However, the desire to see Oasis back together has never wavered, and rumors of a reunion have circulated for years. Now, 15 years after their breakup, Liam and Noel have put their differences aside, at least temporarily, for what may be the band's final tour together. For die-hard fans, this is an opportunity to relive the glory days of Britpop, with Oasis at the height of their powers.
The band’s decision to expand the tour to North America further underscores the global demand for their music. Oasis’ influence on rock music is undeniable, with many citing them as one of the greatest bands of the 1990s. Their albums, particularly (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, have sold millions of copies worldwide, and their songs continue to resonate with new generations of listeners. The Oasis 2025 reunion tour is shaping up to be one of the most significant music events of the year. With major venues booked and tickets likely to sell out fast, fans of the band should not miss this opportunity to see Oasis live. Whether you're an original fan from the Britpop era or someone who has recently discovered their timeless music, this tour offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience Oasis' legendary sound.
To stay up-to-date on all things Oasis, including ticket sales and tour news, fans can visit the band’s official website and follow their social media accounts.
In what might be the band’s last hurrah, don’t miss out on your chance to witness Oasis live and prove that America has loved them all along.
