The Oasis reunion isn’t just for the lads. After teasing that Noel and Liam Gallagher would set aside their infamous rivalry to get the band back together, Oasis have expanded their itinerary in the United Kingdom and Ireland to include a batch of 2025 dates in North America. The band will play shows in Toronto, Chicago, New Jersey, California, and Mexico City next summer, with Cage the Elephant supporting. In a press release, the band said:
This reunion tour will mark the Gallagher brothers’ first live performances together since Oasis’ bitter split in 2009. “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised,” the band wrote when breaking the news. They later clarified that these reunion shows will not include live performances at music festivals, dispelling rumors of a headlining set at Glastonbury in 2025.
After ticketing issues with the British and Irish shows, Oasis’ management announced that the band won’t use Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model for the North American concerts. “It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable,” management wrote. “But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.”
