Oasis has announced the first North American dates of their LIVE ’25 world tour. The news, on September 30, revealed five stadium concerts with one each in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford (NJ), Los Angeles and Mexico City, to take place from August 24 – September 12. With several days in between dates, it’s anticipated that more shows will be added in those cities once tickets go on sale. Such has been the case in the U.K. where the band now have five concerts in Manchester and a whopping seven performances scheduled at London’s Wembley Stadium due to “phenomenal demand.” Oasis ended years of speculation with the August 27 confirmation of a long awaited run of U.K. and Ireland shows forming the domestic leg of their Oasis LIVE ’25 world tour. Oasis will also hit Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin in the summer of 2025. Their only shows in Europe next year, this has already proven to be one of the biggest live moments and hottest tickets of the decade.
Registration for the presale is open here until Oct. 1 at 8 a.m. ET. The presale begins on Oct. 3 at 2 p.m. local time. General ticket on-sale will begin Oct. 4 at 12 p.m. local time here. Special guest for the North American shows is Cage the Elephant.
The news comes 16 years since their last performance in North America. Oasis stated,
“America.
Oasis is coming.
You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”
Brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher have occupied themselves with their own projects since the band split in 2009, with ten U.K. #1 albums between them as well as countless festival headline sets and stadium and arena shows. But Oasis is something else. There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion – just the gradual realization that the time is right. It’s been 30 years since their electrifying debut album Definitely Maybe was released, while 2025 will see their second LP (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? reach that same anniversary.
When the U.K. and Ireland dates were announced, Oasis commented,
“The guns have fallen silent.
The stars have aligned.
The great wait is over.
Come see.
It will not be televised.”
Plans are underway for Oasis Live ’25 to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year.
Oasis’ legend has only been amplified in their absence. The classics that Liam and Noel have played in their solo shows have inspired phenomenal public demand for the band to make a long-awaited return, while the Knebworth 1996 film provided a taste of their exhilarating live performances to a whole new generation. They remain a huge draw in the streaming era, with 21.5 million monthly listeners at Spotify alone and a total of 12 billion streams to date. August 30 saw the release of the Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition of Definitely Maybe. The new edition is available in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here.

A quick recap of the Oasis UK story. Formed in Manchester, the band quickly became one of the biggest cultural phenomenons of the era as Definitely Maybe became the fastest-selling debut album in British history – and has since reached 17x Platinum in recognition of 5 million+ UK sales. All seven of their studio albums went straight to #1, as did their 2010 compilation Time Flies…. Their catalogue features eight #1 singles, from “Some Might Say” to “The Importance of Being Idle,” as well as another fifteen Top 10 hits.
That huge following translated to the live arena, most famously playing to 125,000 people each night during two shows at Knebworth. Other big moments included two headline sets at Glastonbury in 1995 and 2004; huge homecoming shows at Manchester City’s Maine Road stadium; and a run of Wembley Stadium gigs which were documented in the live album Familiar To Millions.
Their accolades have included six BRIT Awards, including the Outstanding Contribution to British Music, two Ivor Novellos, and seventeen NME Awards.
