I'm not ready if this is real. Oasis in Toronto and US stadium tour. Found it on twitter yesterday and the dates line up so maybe there's more to be announced. Fingers crossed   |

The only hope I have for European gigs is that I can't see them not doing South American and Asian dates if this all works out, those too would sell out immediately and some of the best crowds can be found there. Could they really just go back to their solo projects without visiting e.g. Argentina?

Even for Oasis, these US shows seem INSANELY ambitious. The biggest show they ever played in America was about 20,000 people in 2005 in Boston. They did about 18,000 at Madison Square that tour too. Yes, the Roses sold out Madison Square in 2016. Yes, Blur sold it out in 2015 (and nearly sold out the Hollywood Bowl that time too). But those were those band's only US dates at the time. There was a real exclusivity to it that drove attendance (and no doubt people from the UK travelled to see them in more intimate settings). Yes, Oasis are bigger than both in America combined. Soldier Field has a capacity of 62,000. The biggest shows Oasis ever played in the Chicagoland area were probably at the Rosemont, somewhere in the 15,000 range. Metlife Stadium has a capacity of 82,500. They played the Meadowlands arena in the same complex on the Be Here Now tour, but didn't sell it out. It was somewhere probably in the 13,000 - 15,000 range. As I said above, they have sold out Madison Square Garden before - and they did about 25,000 over two nights on Long Island on the Morning Glory tour. Gillette Stadium has a capacity of about 65,000. As I said above, their biggest Boston show - and biggest ever single stateside concert attendance - was about 20,000. The Rose Bowl in LA holds 90,000. Oasis' biggest show there was probably the Hollywood Bowl at ~16-17,000. I'm just not convinced they're a big enough draw, even on the 30th anniversary of WTSMG + reunited for the first time in 15 years, to successfully sell out these sorts of venues. Especially since I'm sure prices are going to be ludicrous - many casual fans will balk. Yes, the Roses sold out Madison Square in 2016.

There was a real exclusivity to it that drove attendance (and no doubt people from the UK travelled to see them in more intimate settings). Right now, several acts tours are flopping in America because of overestimated demand and way too high prices. Look no further than the Black Keys cancelling the entiriety of their arena tour because they were only selling a few thousand tickets a show. www.stereogum.com/2267170/arena-tour-ticket-sales-black-keys-jlo/columns/sounding-board/ |

A typical tour through the metlife area is a nj arena, nyc arena, Philly arena, Camden arena, etc.. All 15-20k. If they just do the one show in the area, along with the reunion, nostalgia, mega rock band mantra I think they can do 1 night at metlife. It also comes down to the follow up to this announcement. They need to do some interviews and drive the excitement as we. |

Oasis biggest us tour shifted over 250k tickets .. they’ll
Sell stadiums in America with the right support and strategy .. tickets prices will be lower .. they will condense the tour to make it work

Could they have someone else on the bill with them to help shift ticket sales? Another option, they could turn those stadium gigs in to the Caljam / US Festival / Gig on the Green type events and have a full supporting bill, starting at midday / 2pm? Like Knebworth and Finsbury Park in the UK.

I’d say Chinese makes up at least 30% of eras tour since ts isn’t planned to go to china and her last tour in China js 2016? Oasis is at the same boat since Noel is banned from china I have no problem with nj, I think it gonna work with a reasonable price. |

If the one and only show west of the Mississippi River is in LA then I could see them selling out the Rose Bowl, but with a cluster of shows on the other side of the country people have more choice, less chance to sell out any one venue.

Yeah because Liam has always looked prim and proper and like he has deodorant on at every Oasis gig.  Get out of here with this ignorant nonsense about what Americans like. Also, Oasis a bright bunch? lol Come on, now...Liam just dedicated a song to kids who failed their fucking exams, ffs. I mean, look, I love oasis and I'm excited but this fucking attitude is the worst part of oasis fandom, easily. Grow up. |

It is definitely ambitious, but if they keep it strategically one show in each part or North America most people will use it as a summer vacation type thing. I think there is more interest and demand in Oasis in America for a whole generation of fans now than there was in 2009 thanks to the internet, reissues etc.
They need to do a lot of press though, and hopefully nothing from their past comes up and ruins this since America still likes to cancel people.
They will definitely need some very good support acts to push anyone over who is still on the fence. They may even close off the third level seating.

As I said in the other thread, it's been 15 years. There is pent-up demand across the globe. I think they could sell out most of these shows besides the two east coast shows (in Boston and NY). There will be demand. America is a big country and Oasis fans across the country will travel to the nearest show to see them after such a long time.

After that leak having accurate dates so far and all the craziness... Not ruling out anything at that point.
Otherwise I'd say for US/Canada maybe roughly 10 arena shows with NYC(MSG)/LA(Forum) twice. And these selling pretty easily for sure.
One massive outdoor show on the east and west coast for example - I definitely see that too.

I dunno...I'm skeptical they'd embark for North American one week after wrapping UK.
And I suppose they'll be looking at the Americas as a whole. Stadiums in Mexico City, Lima, Santiago, Buenos, Rio would be more attractive than arenas in LA/NYC.
I def think USA/Canada would be arenas, not stadiums. 2x MSG, Red Rocks & Hollywood Bowl gets them east-to-west. Fly outta LA for Mexico/Peru.

I'm not ready if this is real. Oasis in Toronto and US stadium tour. Found it on twitter yesterday and the dates line up so maybe there's more to be announced. Fingers crossed If you think about it from this perspective (not including fly ins) - Toronto gig to pull people within Detroit / Buffalo / Cleveland / Ottawa - Boston to pull people within Montreal / Quebec City / Atlantic Canada (me) / Hartford / - NJ to pull people within NYC / Philadelphia / Baltimore / Washington D.C In those metro areas alone, one would feel like playing a single stadium gig would be viable. I think they could have gotten away with maybe Seattle or Portland to try and capture some of the pacific north west crowd. |

The entirety of the west coast, myself included, will be at the Rose Bowl show. I’m confident it will sell out, though second hand tickets will be easy to come by.
