Oasis have revealed the announcement time for the US and Canada shows that will be part of their 2025 reunion tour.
On Thursday, NME exclusively revealed the list of cities in North America, Asia, Australia and South America that the Britpop legends will be playing as part of their 2025 comeback, in addition to the originally-announced UK and Ireland dates.
Now, on the band’s official X account, they have posted four photographs of billboards of the band in major North American cities, alongside the caption: “MONDAY 8AM ET #OasisLive25”.

No further information about the dates of the shows has yet been shared.
Oasis’ last show in North America was on December 20, 2008 at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia as part of their tour in support of ‘Dig Out Your Soul’, their seventh and to date most recent studio album.
The sale of the UK and Ireland shows proved to be a controversial affair, with some fans experiencing long queues and technical difficulties, and some tickets being sold at inflated prices due to “dynamic” surge pricing.

In response, Oasis provided “a small step towards making amends for the situation” by announcing two extra Wembley Stadium dates that were sold in staggered batches via an invite-only ballot. The band also said that they “at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used”.
“It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used,” they said in a statement.

Speculation is rife about who will be included in the reunited Oasis line-up alongside Liam and Noel Gallagher. Original guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs is reportedly set to be involved, with other rumoured members including guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell. Drummer Alan White also sparked rumours on his social media, but NME is led to believe he will not be part of the line-up. Liam has since teased that the line-up could feature “a few new faces“.
Following on from his victorious Reading 2024 headline set, last weekend saw Liam perform Oasis classics ahead of the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois boxing match at Wembley Stadium, before hitting out at “SHITC**T” critics who complained online about the sound of his vocals. He then bid farewell to his band as he played his last scheduled solo show in Malta.
