Oasis announce FIVE  stadium shows across North America

Oasis have announced they will perform five stadium shows across North American when their reunion tour gets underway in 2025. 

The iconic Britpop band, fronted by warring brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, confirmed they will regroup for a series of lucrative summer shows in August - their first since 2009. 

The tour, originally planned for the United Kingdom and Ireland, will now extend to the United States and Canada. 

The new dates include Toronto on August 24, Chicago on August 28, New Jersey on August 31, Los Angeles on September 6 and Mexico City on September 12. 

Confirming the news on X, formerly Twitter, they wrote: 'America is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.' 

Pre-sale tickets will be available from 12:00pm EST on October 3, while the general sale will take place from October 4. 

It's understood that registered applicants will be randomly selected for access to the ticket sale via a ballot, during which hopeful fans will be asked questions about the band in order to proceed. 

The band previously shared snaps of giant billboards showing the Gallagher brothers, with a headline reading 'be careful what you wish for'.

It also read 'MONDAY, 8AM ET', hinting at the announcement date and time, and adding #OasisLive25 in their latest X post.

It comes just days after from the band's announcement that they will bring their sold out reunion tour to two major Australian cities next year.

They will play shows in Sydney and Melbourne, as per the NME.

It will be the first time the band have toured the country in 19 years, after last playing Down Under in 2005.

UK and Ireland dates were subject to 'unprecedented' demand when tickets went on sale last month, with fans left enraged by prices skyrocketing due to Ticketmaster's 'dynamic pricing' - or by being kicked off the site once they had queued for hours to secure a spot.

Because of the heavy demand on the first sale, fans were sent into overdrive after Saturday's announcement, and rushed to X to comment, with plenty trying to guess the cities' from the snaps.

Concert dates will soon be announced and tickets will be available for purchase by the general public.

Last month, the band announced they were reuniting for the first time since 2009 after Noel and Liam Gallagher finally put their differences aside. 

The news prompted a ticket buying frenzy across the UK, as die-hard fans fought to score a spot to see their favourite band.

Many devastated Oasis fans were left empty-handed when the hotly-anticipated 17-date UK reunion tour sold out in a matter of hours in an online fiasco.

Around 14million fans faced eight-hour queues in a bid to get their hands on the highly-sought-after tickets to see the rock band live, with many still missing out.

While other lucky fans managed to nab tickets, many were forced to splash out huge amounts on them after dynamic pricing saw costs soar to almost double within mere hours.

The Gallagher brothers have since announced two further Wembley shows and tickets will be made available via a staggered invite-only ballot to select fans who missed out the first time around on Ticketmaster.

Other fans were angry and disappointed after being left empty-handed, having battled website issues, being mislabelled as bots and waiting in an online queue for hours to buy tickets.

This year marks 30 years since the band released their debut studio album, Definitely Maybe, which sailed to the top of the UK charts earlier in the month, bolstered by the release of a deluxe edition celebrating its anniversary. 

Oasis released two live records during their heyday back in the 2000s.

They released Familiar To Millions in November 2000 - four months after Oasis debuted at Wembley.

Their first release sold more than a million copies.

Knebworth 1996 was their second release, and this was recorded across two shows at the Hertfordshire venue and was released in September 2021.
