Oasis announce 2025 tour dates for five gigs in North America

Oasis have announced a five-gig North American tour for 2025.

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

The new dates announced are stadium gigs in Toronto on 24 August, Chicago on 28 August, New Jersey on 31 August, LA on 6 September and Mexico City on 12 September.

Announcing the dates on their X account, a quote read: “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”.

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.”
