Oasis have finally announced details of their anticipated North American tour dates, after confirming their reunion earlier this summer.

You can view the dates in full below.
Toronto, ON – Rogers Stadium– 24th August

Oasis said: “America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”
The shows mark the first time that Oasis have played stadiums in North America, after enduring a famously fraught relationship with the continent.
The band’s first American tour for Definitely Maybe from 1994-95 remains one of their most chaotic hours – one boozy show at Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles resulted in Noel Gallagher leaving the band for several days. The incident inspired their 1995 ballad ‘Talk Tonight‘.
Tickets for the band’s comeback sold out in a single day last month, but the sale has been overshadowed by the issue of dynamic pricing – with some fans playing above the odds for tickets.
Dynamic pricing was introduced by Ticketmaster in 2022, with the ticketing giant claiming that it was introduced to stop touts and ensure a greater percentage of money goes to the artists. It works on the model that prices will go up where demand is high, but many have accused Ticketmaster of ripping fans off.
The group have said dynamic pricing will not be in place for the US gigs, while consumer watchdog Which? recently called for refunds to be given to fans affected by the over-inflated prices.
Liam also recently said farewell to his stadium-filling solo career for the meantime too, playing at the Liam Gallagher And Friends Malta Weekender, where he toasted his hugely successful solo career ahead of the anticipated 2025 reunion.
At the show, he praised his band who had “been with us from the beginning”, explaining that “this is going to be our last show for a bit, massive respect”.
“And the beautiful girls,” he added, hailing his three backing singers.
