I don’t think they will every get to the level of U2, but I believe they could at least fill one stadium. Maybe - Yankee Stadium in New York? I think a 50’000 venue might be a push, but they could do it. Might take a while for it to sell out, but with a huge promotion campaign, plenty of advertising and a decent line up, it might come off. What do you think?  |

a.) american stadiums are shit
b.) Oasis cannot be sure they will sell out 50,000+ in the US. they would look rather stupid playing to only 10,000 in a 50,000 arena
for those 2 reasons, i say no.

50,000 tickets is alot to sell for one show. I doubt that many bands that are more popular than Oasis in the US would sell out shows like that. I dont think the band would even consider playing a stadium here.

If it was properly promoted they could totally sell out Yankee/Shea, Fenway, or Dodger Stadium. No doubt in my mind. You get them the right opener to help bring in a crowd and they could totally do it.

Yeah, they can do it. But, the WONT. I mean not since Depeche Mode in the late 80's has any UK/Euro band been as big. But, then again, Depeche Mode had MASSIVE airplay, pr work the biz. Oasis dont get that out here in the states. Be nice though.

What do you think? i don't remember the last time anybody has played yankee stadium. so forget that. but madison square garden was pretty damn good. |

Oasis have always done well in America for tours.
They sold a total of 160,000 tickets for the last tour.
So they could fill a stadium, if it was well promoted and they had good support acts.

Personally i think they could pull it off. I would say New York would probably draw a lot more attention. All Oasis have to do is promote and advertise the show. Plenty of radio advertisment for weeks announcing the show. Huge adverts in all the daily newspapers and weekly music magazines. Big cover interviews with Mojo and Q. American TV show apperances (Letterman for example) and restrict the amount of other venues being played, so to attract a wide cirlce of fans. Say , no shows in Boston or Detroit. I think they could do it. And also, if it's a big event, it will draw in more people and create more interest. Take a look at Madison Sqaure Garden and the Hollywood Bowl for example. The bigger the show can sometimes appeal to more people. So yeah why not. I think they should go for a 40'000 venue in NYC.  |

We don't really have much in the way of 40k venues in NYC. It'd have to be 2 or 3 nights at the Garden to do that. Both Shea and Yankee are 50k+. I could imagine 2 shows at the Garden next time.

On the DBTT tour they played some of the biggest venues they ave ever played in the USA. i think the gig at Boston tweeter center was the biggest. they also played some famous venues too such as hollywood bowl, red rocks and madison square garden.
coldplay are quite sucessful in america and on their last tour they played some big arenas.
i hope oasis will take the gigs up to the next leveland move up to some bigger venues.
obviously they are not in the same league as the rolling stones or U2 so i very much doubt they will be doing any stadiums in the USA.
what the band really need tho in america is good promotion by the record label. coldplay and u2 always do well as they do loads of promo. maybe a better internet presence will help too

The fact that they sold 160,000 tickets (if thats the correct figure) only goes to rpove that they could never sell out a US stadium. To put it in perspective they sold about 130000 for 2 NIGHTS at Milton Keynes here in the UK. 160,000 tickets for a country the size of the US is really realy poor i'm afraid. |

That's not poor at all. Stadium shows aren't the norm quite the same way as they are in the UK here..Few bands crack 20k+ for a show here unless they are one of the REAL heavy hitters..I'm talking Springsteen, U2, The Stones, Greenday, DMB, Macca, etc. They played 2 shows at the Hollywood Bowl..That's 50k seats, ie, the size of Shea and Yankee Stadium. They played to 8k in Philly, 20k+ in Boston, 14k+ in NYC (they could do much, much more). If you change that to be one or two huge stadium gigs in the Northeast of the US they could easily fill Yankee, Shea, or Fenway. I'm gonna look into those numbers on ticket sales..not that I don't buy it but i'd like confirmation.

I did some quick math and that 160k sounds a bit low..I'd say closer to 175k-180k..What's the source on that number?!

They won't play a baseball stadium or such, not even U2 or The Who plays that. They'll play enclosed arenas in the east or The Gorge/Red Rocks like ampitheatres that are opened or so out in the West. Pearl Jam and The Who can't get much bigger here in the east and sellout every time here in less than 3 minutes. For example, in October 2005, Pearl Jam played 2 nights at the Borgata Casino here in atlantic city, new jersey. and then announced another show in Philadelphia at the Wachovia Center. Which holds maybe 25-30K or so. The Who plays that. And they sell that out every time in less then 2-3 minutes. They won't be playing baseball stadiums etc etc. If they do get out of playing Ampitheatres, the one in Philly is i think 17K. with the lawn, they'll play corporate owned centers and arenas like wachoiva center in phildelphia. Then again, Pearl Jam always comes to town saying how nobody plays them on the radio more hten Philly. Coldplay played the Tweeter Center at the Waterfront ampitheatre in 2005, Wachovia Center in 2006.
Will it happen for Oasis?! Most likely. If they get a song like Wonderwall abused on the radio. Otherwise, up in the air for them.

Yeah i suppose they are reasonably big shows that could be converted into one or two stasium gigs. i didnt realise Hollywood Bowl is 50,000 seats. |

Hollywood Bowl is around the 20k-25k range as is my understanding..so 2 nights would be 40k-50k range.
