Oasis arrives at MetLife Stadium after selling out shows across the UK. How to get tickets

English rock band Oasis, known for timeless hits including “Wonderwall,” just announced the North American leg of their tour scheduled for next summer, and they’re ready to bring down the house at MetLife Stadium after ending the band’s 15-year feud.

Oasis, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, shocked fans by announcing the Oasis Live ’25 tour last month, following the band’s unexpected dissolution in 2009. But these dates only took place in the UK, their home country and Ireland.

The makers of the global hit announced Monday that they will head to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Aug. 31, one of five locations in North America next summer. The band will also play August 24 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Ontario; Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois, August 28; Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, California, September 6; and Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on September 12. The band’s special guest on all dates will be Cage the Elephant.

“America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along,” the band said in a statement.

Amid years of speculation, the siblings announced last month that they were embarking on an overseas tour, with their first show taking place on July 4 in Cardiff, Wales, after which the Britpop band will head to their hometown of Manchester, England, for four shows. They will finish the domestic leg of their Scotland and Ireland tour in mid-August, after which they will head to America.

Tickets for the overseas tour sold out “instantly”, meaning it was the biggest opening act ever seen in the UK and Ireland, with more than 10 million fans from 158 countries queuing to buy tickets, Live Nation said Entertainment, who is producing the tour along with SJM.

Many fans were quick to snap up tickets 15 years after the band’s acrimonious split, but were angered when they saw Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing, a price increase driven by demand. The report states that tickets cost 135 British pounds plus fees (which is approximately 180 US dollars), and “demand” prices on Ticketmaster have increased to 355 British pounds plus fees (which is approximately 475 US dollars). by the British Broadcasting Corporation or BBC. The BBC added that dynamic pricing is permitted under consumer protection laws.

Ticketmaster told the British public broadcaster that it does not set ticket prices, but that promoters and artists set prices, which can be fixed or market-based and marked as “Platinum” or “On Demand,” according to Ticketmaster UK. website.

The BBC reported that shortly after overseas pre-sales began on Friday, August 30, UK concert tickets were being sold on resale websites such as StubHub at eye-watering prices, with some fetching more than 6,000 British pounds, more than the BBC reports , that a standing-room ticket costs $8,000 – about 40 times the face value of the actual ticket.

How can I get Oasis tickets at MetLife Stadium?

While fans in the UK have been trapped by the dynamic pricing model, Oasis has assured that this will not happen to American fans on Thursday, October 3, when advance ticket sales become available.

“It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket gouging and keep prices lower than the market rate and therefore more affordable for a significant portion of fans,” the team said in a statement posted on social media on Monday. “But when unprecedented demand for tickets is coupled with technology that cannot meet that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.”

Regular ticket sales will start on Friday, October 4, at noon.

Why did Liam and Noel Gallagher split?

Oasis, which formed in 1991 as a five-piece band outside England, is credited with reviving Britpop and is known for clashes with London band Blur.

The group gained fame in 1994 thanks to the album entitled Definitely Maybeand with the hits “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Champagne Supernova”. To date, the band has sold 75 million albums worldwide.

The only constant members of the band’s ever-changing lineup, the Gallaghers were known for their wild onstage antics as well as their deepening rivalry.

Noel Gallagher left Oasis almost 15 years ago, lamenting that he “simply couldn’t work with Liam another day” and a reconciliation seemed never to happen in the future. The brothers continued their musical careers separately – Liam and other members of Oasis continued the band under the name Beady Eye, while Noel formed his own band, High Flying Birds.

They have promoted the idea of ​​reconciliation for years, but it always seemed unlikely. In 2022, when asked when fans could see the reunion, Noel Gallagher joked: “Would you go on holiday with your ex-lover?”

“If we were together again, it would be a circus, and that doesn’t make sense. Just leave it as it is. I’m happy,” Gallagher told the hosts of the Pub Talk Oklahoma podcast.

The 2025 tour commemorates the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ second album, (What’s the story) Morning?which became the best-selling album of the 1990s in the UK and was a breakthrough for the band in the US
