Britpop giant Oasis will launch the North American leg of its world tour in Toronto.
The band says it will play Rogers Stadium on Aug. 24, 2025, marking the first show officially scheduled for the open-air venue after its construction was announced last week.
Liam and Noel Gallagher also announced shows in Chicago, East Rutherford, N.J., Los Angeles and Mexico City, with U.S. rock band Cage the Elephant opening all dates.
The Wonderwall hitmakers sold out their U.K. and Ireland tour almost immediately, but intense demand and dynamic pricing frustrated ticket buyers.
The band’s management says tickets for the North American dates will not be subject to Ticketmaster’s dynamic-pricing model, in which prices fluctuate with demand.
Opinion: Oasis is finally reuniting. Older fans, please don’t gatekeep its music
Presale registration is open on the band’s website until 8 a.m. ET on Tuesday, with general ticket sales beginning at noon local time Friday.
“America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along,” the band said Monday in a social-media post announcing the new dates.
The two brothers put aside a long-standing rift to reunite the band, after Noel abruptly quit Oasis shortly before they were set to hit the stage at a music festival in Paris in August, 2009.
The Canadian stop will be Oasis’s first visit to Toronto since appearing at now-defunct V-Festival in July, 2008, when Noel was pushed over by a fan who rushed onto the stage.
