Today (or tomorrow) might be the day that you finally score those coveted tix for the Live '25 reunion tour.
2h
With just a few days to go before Oasis kick off the North American run of their Live ’25 reunion tour in Toronto, the band offered fans two surprise gifts on Wednesday (Aug. 20). The first was a live rendition of their beloved 1995 single “Wonderwall” from one of their recent shows in Dublin, Ireland, where the band returned to perform for the first time since 2008.
The footage from Croke Park finds singer Liam Gallagher crooning the yearning ballad in fine voice in one of his signature anoraks over a hoodie, which he has pulled up tight over his head so his eyes are barely visible. Brother/songwriter Noel Gallagher provides the propulsive acoustic guitar backing as he gazes out at a massive stadium lit up by fans’ waving cellphone flashlights.

In addition, they posted a “Postcards from Dublin” compilation video of their double-down on Aug. 16 and 17, with film of a young fan in homemade Oasis shirt and bucket hat selling waters outside the venue, a man in official gear holding up his baby in matching shirt and hat, the excitement outside the venue as well as the earth-shaking, full stadium hopping up and down from the crowd inside and clips from several songs.
So far, the band has offered up a number of live tracks from the reunion shows in the U.K. and Ireland, including “Slide Away” from the kick-off in Cardiff, Wales, as well as “Cigarettes & Alcohol” from their home town of Manchester and “Little By Little” from their London run.
But perhaps the biggest gift of all is a note that went up on Wednesday announcing that some last-minute seats for the North American shows will be released in the coming days. According to a post, “as the North American shows are getting closer, Oasis promoters may be able to release a very limited number of additional tickets for sale once final sight lines are checked and the production is fine tuned. These final production releases will happen over the coming days.”

That’s great news for those who haven’t yet scored tickets as the North American run is slated to kick off on Sunday (Aug. 24) at Rogers Stadium in Toronto — where the band will play again on Monday (Aug. 25) — before moving on to Soldier Field in Chicago (Aug. 28), then MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. (Aug. 31, Sept. 1), the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. (Sept. 6, 7) and Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City (Sept. 12, 13); Cage the Elephant will open all the North American dates, with Cast joining for the N.J. and California shows.
