Today is gonna be the day Oasis confirmed it will play in Toronto as part of its much-hyped reunion tour.
The Britpop band known for timeless hits like Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back in Anger is adding five dates in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico to the tour scheduled for summer 2025.
“America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along,” Oasis said in a statement posted to social media Monday.
The band shocked fans by announcing a reunion tour last month, ending a 15-year hiatus and, presumably, the long-held feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. But at the time that announcement, it only revealed dates U.K. and Ireland.
The new stadium dates scheduled for next summer are in Toronto on Aug. 24, Chicago on Aug. 28, New Jersey on Aug. 31, Los Angeles on Sept. 6 and Mexico City on Sept. 12. American rock band Cage the Elephant will open.
Famously feuding siblings Noel and Liam Gallagher are set to reunite Oasis and tour next summer after a 15-year hiatus. The announcement coincides with the 30th anniversary of their debut album Definitely Maybe.
The Toronto show is one of the first to be announced at the recently unveiled Rogers Stadium in Downsview Park. Entertainment giant Live Nation said last week it will build a temporary, open-air music venue with a capacity for some 50,000 people on the grounds of the former Downsview airport in north Toronto.
Oasis split in 2009 after many years of infighting, with Noel Gallagher officially leaving the band just before a performance at a festival near Paris. Even before the dissolution, the brothers had long had an antagonistic relationship and reportedly did not speak to each other for years after the breakup.
But now the brothers are preparing to reunite, with the band saying fans would experience “the spark and intensity” that occurs only when they appear on stage together.
Tickets for the new dates go on sale Friday, October 4, at 12 p.m.
