As predicted, the Oasis reunion tour will extend through the rest of the world, including Toronto. Tickets go on sale Friday.
It was a poorly kept secret. From the moment 19 dates in the UK and Ireland were announced, shadow dates for other cities around the world were circulating. And it turns out that those rumoured dates were 100% true. These dates were confirmed this morning.
- Toronto: August 24 (with an option for a second show on the 25th), Downsview Park at the still-to-be-built Rogers Stadium.
- Chicago: August 27 (with an option for another show on the 28th), Soldier Field
- East Rutherford NJ: August 30 (with an option for August 31), Met Life Stadium
- Boston: September 2, Gilette Stadium
- Los Angeles: September 6 (with an option for September 5), Rose Bowl
- Mexico City: September 11 (with an option for September 12), Foro Sol
Support will come from Cage the Elephant. This is the first time since 2008 that Oasis has been this way.
Tickets go on sale Friday, October 4 at 12 noon local time. The band is strongly urging that people do the pre-sale sign up thing.
Sounds good but “still-to-be-built” Rogers Stadium makes me slightly nervous.
