Oasis, the iconic British rock band, is gearing up for a highly anticipated reunion tour across North America in 2025. Fans of the legendary group, which last performed together in 2009, will have the opportunity to see the band live in five major cities: Toronto, Chicago, New Jersey, Los Angeles, and Mexico City. This tour marks a significant moment for both the band and their dedicated following, offering a chance to relive the classic sound that defined a generation.
Tour Dates and Locations
Oasis has confirmed the following concert dates as part of their reunion tour:
- 24 August 2025: Rogers Stadium, Toronto, Canada
- 28 August 2025: Soldier Field, Chicago, Illinois
- 31 August 2025: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey
- 6 September 2025: Rose Bowl Stadium, Los Angeles, California
- 12 September 2025: Estadio GNP Seguros, Mexico City, Mexico
The announcement came through the band’s social media channels, where they provocatively stated, “America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”
Ticket Information
For fans eager to catch the band live, pre-sale tickets will be available starting October 3, with general sales opening the next day. Ticketmaster has advised prospective buyers to register in advance to avoid complications, as many fans have experienced issues in previous sales due to heightened demand and technical difficulties.
While the excitement builds, some fans have expressed frustrations regarding ticket pricing. Many reported being kicked out of online queues or facing exorbitant fees for tickets initially priced much lower.
Regulatory Scrutiny
The situation has drawn attention from the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which has launched an investigation into Ticketmaster’s pricing practices. The CMA is examining whether ‘dynamic pricing’ could breach consumer protection laws. However, Ticketmaster contends that ticket prices are set by the event organizers, not the platform itself, which has led to heated discussions regarding fairness and transparency in ticket sales.
A Return After Years Away
Oasis’s upcoming concerts will be the first for the band in North America since their final performance in 2008 at EagleBank Arena in Virginia. The anticipation for this tour has been building for years, especially after the Gallagher brothers teased fans with advertisements that read, “Be careful what you wish for,” around prominent cities.
Noel and Liam Gallagher have a complex relationship, often marked by public spats and reconciliations. Yet, their shared love for music has brought them back together, and fans are eager to see how their dynamic plays out on stage.
Support Acts
The band will be joined by US rock group Cage the Elephant, who are set to support them throughout the tour. This collaboration promises an electrifying atmosphere as fans enjoy performances from both acts.
Fan Reactions and Cultural Impact
The news has sparked an outpouring of excitement and nostalgia among fans, many of whom grew up listening to classics like “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” The band’s distinctive sound and flair for storytelling in their music have left a lasting mark on rock culture.
Liam Gallagher has remained vocal during the tour announcement, famously responding to fan inquiries about the tour with his signature humor, asserting, “I love America and I know deep down you love ME.” In a world filled with changing music trends, Oasis’s reunion serves as a reminder of the enduring power of their music.
A Legacy Worth Celebrating
As Oasis prepares for their 2025 North American tour, fans are reminded not only of the band’s immense popularity but also of their cultural significance. The band’s infamous early American tour in the 1990s remains part of rock lore, with memorable and chaotic live shows that defined a generation.
Oasis’s music has influenced countless artists and continues to resonate with fans of all ages. From iconic anthems to deeply emotive tracks, their work offers a unique connection that few bands have achieved.

The upcoming tour represents a unique opportunity for lovers of rock music to experience the magic of Oasis live once again. With tickets set to become available soon, those wishing to join the experience should prepare to secure their spots.
