Oasis is officially set to go on its highly anticipated reunion tour in North America next year.
The band will perform at several iconic venues, including Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Ontario on August 24; Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois on August 28; MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on August 31; Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, California on September 6; and Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on September 12. Cage the Elephant will be the opening act for all the shows.
Fans can currently register for presale on Oasis’ official website until Tuesday at 8 a.m. ET. General ticket sales will begin on Friday at 12 p.m. local time through Ticketmaster.
A press release also revealed that the band plans to tour additional continents beyond Europe and North America later in the year. Tickets will also be available on resale platforms like Ticketmaster.
In a statement announcing the North American leg of the tour, Oasis declared: “America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”
This announcement follows last month’s monumental news that Liam and Noel Gallagher have ended their 15-year hiatus (after decades of public feuding) to confirm a series of shows in the U.K. and Ireland.
Tickets for those dates sold out instantly, with over 10 million fans in the queue, marking the biggest ticket launch in the region to date.
Demand for Oasis tickets has already caused a frenzy overseas. The ticket sales for their U.K. and Ireland shows have been the largest and most controversial since Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
The controversy surrounding dynamic pricing on Ticketmaster, which left many fans frustrated while trying to secure seats for hits like “Acquiesce,” prompted Oasis to revise its ticketing approach to an “invitation-only” system.
However, the band has assured fans that dynamic pricing will not be used for their upcoming North American tour.
Oasis’ management released a statement addressing the ticketing adjustments: “Dynamic pricing is generally seen as an effective method to combat ticket reselling and help keep prices more affordable for a significant portion of fans.
However, when overwhelming demand—where the entire tour could sell out multiple times over at the moment tickets go on sale—collides with technology that can’t handle such demand, it becomes less useful and can result in an unacceptable experience for fans.”
The statement continued, “We’ve made this decision for the North American tour in the hopes of avoiding the issues that fans encountered during the recent U.K. and Ireland ticket sales.”
