The lads are coming.
Oasis has officially confirmed that they will play a show in Toronto next August as part of their highly-anticipated reunion tour.
The English band will perform a single show in Downsview Park at the newly announced Rogers Stadium on Aug. 24.
Presale for the show will take place Thursday, Oct. 3, while the general sale opens on Friday, Oct. 4. Tickets will be available via Ticketmaster.
The North American tour will also include dates in Chicago, New Jersey, Los Angeles and Mexico City. American rock band Cage The Elephant has been slated as the opening act.
The beloved Britpop band, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, announced in August that they would be reuniting after 15 years with a string of shows in the U.K. and Ireland.
Since then, rumours have been swirling about a world tour with stops in North America.
Over the weekend, a giant Oasis billboard was erected at Yonge and Dundas in Toronto with the message: “Be careful what you wish for.” The words appear above a photo of the Gallagher brothers with the words “Monday 8AM ET” and “oasis” below.
The band also announced that Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing model” will not be used for the North American leg of the tour.
A statement from the band’s management said that, due to “unprecedented ticket demand,” combined with “technology that cannot cope with that demand,” the dynamic pricing model “becomes less effective.”
The model, also known as surge pricing, was used for the sale of Oasis tickets for the U.K. and Ireland shows. Thousands of fans reported that they waited in line for hours, only to be charged exorbitant prices. “We have made this decision for the North American tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the U.K. and Ireland experienced recently,” the statement added.
Though still many months away, the Oasis reunion tour is already one of the most-anticipated live music events in the world.
