Oasis ‘to announce US shows in New York and Los Angeles’ after Liam Gallagher confirms band will tour America

Oasis could “announce US tour dates in New York and Los Angeles”, according to a new report.

Liam Gallagher, 51, has cryptically confirmed that he and his brother Noel, 57, will go on tour in America.

And now a source claims they could start a new series of shows as early as Friday.

Oasis have already sold out the UK leg of their highly anticipated tour but have come under fire after the price of standard tickets rose from £148 to £355 as a result of Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing”.

A source told The Sun: Noel and Liam will announce their US tour dates on Friday.

They continued: “There will be a handful of big dates in big cities. Brits living in New York and Los Angeles should have a good chance of getting a ticket.

“Oasis do not want a repeat of the domestic ticketing problems but are expecting demand to be as strong as it has been here.”

MailOnline has contacted a representative of Oasis for comment.

Last week, Liam confirmed Oasis would be touring America in a cryptic update.

Despite recent criticism, the band are reportedly gearing up to play their biggest US show yet, with Liam alluding to recent X rumors.

When one fan asked, “Liam, I know you’re not our biggest fan, but are Oasis coming to AMERICA?”

He replied, “I love America and I know deep down you love ME.”

Reports emerged on Saturday that Liam and Noel had a “financial incentive” to extend their tour.

A source told The Mirror: “Their promoters at Live Nation are incredibly keen to make it happen and Liam and Noel have verbally agreed plans. The question of whether they can get through the end of the tour without falling out has been raised, but they now have a huge financial incentive to continue touring.”

The report states that the band will perform at the 70,000-seat SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, as well as other major venues across the United States.

Announcements of concerts in the US appeared on billboards in Times Square in New York.

The emails included the Amazon Music logo and a photo of the Gallagher brothers with the following message: “If we need to put up a billboard to get these people to come to the States, this is it.”

Elsewhere, Oasis and Ticketmaster have faced calls to “do the right thing” and refund fans affected by dynamic pricing imposed by consumer group Which?

The band and the ticketing giant have faced fury from those looking forward to watching Oasis’ much-anticipated tour after the price of standard tickets doubled from £148 to £355.

Ticketmaster said the price increase was due to increased demand and the policy was agreed with the band’s management. Oasis itself said it was unaware of the dynamic pricing when tickets first went on sale.

The government and the UK competition watchdog have since committed to investigating the implementation of the policy.

Now Which?, one of the UK’s most prominent consumer groups, has appealed to people who paid more than they expected to book their seats at the concerts and get some of their money back.

Following the controversy, Which? asked Oasis fans to submit screenshots of the ticket purchase and payment process to see if they had been warned about the possibility of ticket prices rising due to high demand.

Under the Consumer Protection Regulations (CPR), traders are prohibited from misleading consumers in the way they display prices or omitting key pricing information that they may need to make an informed purchasing decision.

According to Which?, many fans only found out about the price increases after they tried to add cheaper tickets to their baskets.

According to the watchdog, although the website regulations mentioned the use of “dynamic pricing”, fans were not warned that such a practice would be used for Oasis tickets.
