Oasis have announced the North American leg of their hugely anticipated 2025 reunion tour.
Following the news of a UK and Ireland tour in August – as brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher mended their once-bitter feud – the British rock band have now revealed that they will perform a string of shows in the US next summer.
The concerts will take place 16 years after their last performance in North America.
Oasis commented: “America… Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”On Saturday evening (29 September), the British rock band unveiled snaps of huge billboards in various locations around the world, with the strapline reading: “Be careful what you wish for.”
The posts to social media also included the time and date of Monday (30 September) 8am ET (1pm BST), and added the hashtag #OasisLive25.
The “Champagne Supernova” stars initially teased the news with billboards placed in cities including Toronto, Chicago and LA.

Liam Gallagher issues furious rebuke to criticism of his singing at Wembley boxing fixture
Last week, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher launched a furious rebuke to criticisms of his performance at Wembley at the weekend.
The Oasis singer, 52, performed a short set as part of the festivities for the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois boxing match on Saturday (21 September).
It marked the first time Gallagher has performed since the hotly anticipated Oasis reunion was announced weeks ago.
However, some fans on social media criticised Gallagher’s vocals during the show, prompting the famously irascible musician to issue a foul-mouthed response on X/Twitter.
“To all those S***C***S who were crying about my ANGELIC TONES last night you ain’t real fans your just IMPOSTERS,” he wrote. “And if you do have tickets you wanna get rid off I’ll gladly take them off your hands we don’t want the likes of you at our concerts nxt year any way LF***ING.”

Liam Gallagher tells Oasis fan that a new album is ‘in the bag’
Earlier this month, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher told a fan on social media that a new album from the band was “in the bag”, just days after the British rock band announced a sold out reunion tour.
Liam cheekily hinted that new music with his brother Noel has already been completed, as the fan in question asked the 51-year-old singer: “Mate it might be jumping the gun a bit but I feel an albums in the air? Imagine [sic].”
Liam, who is no stranger to making exaggerations on X/Twitter told the fan: “It’s in the bag mate f*** the air.”
No new music has been officially confirmed by Oasis, whose last studio album was Dig Out Your Soul in 2008. Both Liam and Noel have released a total of 10 albums respectively in various projects since Oasis split up in 2009.

Oasis are poised to announce another round of dates for their long-awaited reunion tour, this time for an international leg that will take in the US, Canada and Australia.
The Independent understands that the British rock band will reveal their plans in the coming days, having first announced the UK and Ireland leg in August.
All of their shows announced so far have sold out, including seven nights at Wembley Stadium in London, and another five at Manchester’s Heaton Park.
Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher will also be performing together at shows in Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin.
Their reunion announcement landed right before the 30-year anniversary of Definitely Maybe, the band’s record-breaking debut that includes hits “Supersonic”, “Shakermaker” and “Live Forever”.

Who will support Oasis on their reunion tour?
Oasis are still to work out which acts will support them on their huge 2025 reunion tour, but frontman Liam Gallagher is apparently keen to give fans the best show possible.
While several reports have claimed various bands are already lined up to open for the British rock band at their shows in London, Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh and Manchester, The Independent understands that brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have yet to sit down and discuss which artists they want.
However, Liam is said to be eager to bring a few big rock acts on board.
“Liam is keen for established acts so it will probably take a bit of back and forth before anything’s confirmed,” a source close to the band told The Independent.
