In August, when Oasis revealed a slew of reunion dates in Britain and Ireland starting next summer, the group said that plans were still underway for shows in “other continents outside of Europe.” That led to rampant speculation on social media — including purportedly leaked itineraries — about where the Britpop stars might go.
Turns out that speculation was pretty close to reality. But not 100 percent right.
The band announced on Monday that its world tour would include stops in Toronto, Mexico City, Chicago, Los Angeles and East Rutherford, N.J., outside New York — all of which figured prominently in online guessing, though dates and venues were not all as expected. The Oasis Live ’25 tour, led by Liam and Noel Gallagher, will be the famously combative band’s first since its implosion 15 years ago.
Over the weekend, the band teased the announcement with billboards in Times Square and elsewhere pointing to 8 a.m. Eastern time and saying, “Be careful what you wish for.”
“America,” the band said in a statement on Monday. “Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”
