Oasis is coming to North America next year on its highly anticipated reunion tour and has added four additional dates due to popular demand.
The band will play at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Ontario on August 24; Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill. on August 28; Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. on August 31; Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, Calif. on September 6, and Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on September 12. Cage the Elephant will open for all the shows.
After announcing the Stateside shows on Monday, the band revealed additional dates at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium (August 25), East Rutherford’s Metlife Stadium (September 1), Los Angeles’ Rose Bowl (September 7), and Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros (September 13).
Presale registration is currently open on Oasis’ website until Tuesday at 8 a.m ET. The general ticket sale will begin on Friday at 12 p.m. local time via Ticketmaster. The band will also tour other continents outside of Europe and North America later next year. Tickets will also be available on resale sites such as Ticketmaster.
In a statement announcing the North American leg of the tour, Oasis said: “America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”
Last month, Liam and Noel Gallagher put down their arms after a 15-year hiatus (and decades worth of feuding) to announce Oasis tour dates in the U.K. and Ireland. The tickets sold out immediately, becoming the biggest launch to date in the region with over 10 million fans queuing for tickets.
The demand for Oasis tickets has already caused mayhem abroad: As Variety reported, the ticket on sale was the biggest — and most controversial — since Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
After the dynamic pricing model on Ticketmaster frustrated fans hoping to catch the brothers' trade verses on “Acquiesce,” Oasis tweaked the ticketing strategy to an “invitation-only” system. However, for the upcoming North American tour, the band announced that dynamic pricing will not be applied to ticket sales.
“It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable,” a statement from Oasis’ management said. “But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.”
The statement continued, “We have made this decision for the North America tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the U.K. and Ireland experienced recently.”
