U.K. rock superstars Oasis are coming to Toronto next year, NME reports.

The beloved and infamous brother duo of Noel and Liam Gallagher are reuniting for their first live shows since before the band split in 2010. They initially announced a handful of U.K. dates, creating a ticket frenzy that's left many fans frustrated. Rumours have swirled about other cities Oasis might tour, and now British music magazine NME has published a list of 13 international cities that band will reportedly play – starting with Toronto. The publication cites "sources close to the tour."


In addition to Toronto, the list includes Chicago, East Rutherford (New Jersey), Boston, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Seoul, Tokyo, Melbourne, Sydney, Sao Paulo, Santiago and Buenos Aires.

Fans are speculating about which venues the brothers will visit, with some circulating unconfirmed rumours that the Toronto date will be at Downsview Park — right by where Live Nation's new 50,000-capacity Rogers Stadium is set to be built.

Announcing the new stadium yesterday, Live Nation's Erik Hoffman told Billboard Canada that the impetus for the new purpose-built live music venue came specifically from one act, who otherwise might have skipped the city.

"The idea came from [working with] a major artist who we were very frustrated that we couldn't find dates to work," Hoffman said. "They were just going to bypass Toronto on their world tour."

Could Oasis be the artist that inspired Rogers Stadium? Maybe.

NME says official details about Oasis's international dates are expected next week.

UPDATE:

It is confirmed by Live Nation. Oasis are will play Rogers Stadium in Toronto on August 24, 2025.
