The reunited Oasis unveiled a short run of North American dates this morning (September 30), and most important to our interests is the lack of a Boston date. And to think we had that Standing on the Shoulder of Gillette headline all ready to go!
Instead, the Brothers Gallagher will play a total of five shows on our continent: August 24 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto; August 28 at Soldier Field in Chicago; August 31 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey; September 6 at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles; and September 12 at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City.
For whatever reason, Cage The Elephant open all the dates.
“America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along,” reads the band’s promo that hit social on Monday.
These will be Oasis’ first North American shows in 16 years, and come after a highly anticipated reunion run next summer in the Britpop icons’ native United Kingdom and Ireland. A few North American ticket pre-sales are running this week, and tickets to the general public go on sale Friday (October 4).
