Record sales is not album sales .. it’s total sales and oasis are past the 100 million mark … wonderwall alone is double figures .. they are a huge singles bands old Jeff may have got carried away but they’ve shifted more than many think .. their hits and big albums were big in America Wonderwall is really big in the US, probably 3M digital sales, the albums add up to 8,5M according to Chartmasters.org. A bit of singles and other digital sales make a US total of around 15M I think. Streams are hardly records, though they count towards certifications. |

The social media aspect will be quite important in the USA imo.
I can only speak as a British person who wasn't around for the band's heyday. But Oasis have always had, I think, a low-key cool factor in the States, precisely because they are a slightly lesser known act. Their inclusion in various TV shows and films over the years, along with high profile American artists singing their praises - e.g. Tom DeLonge, Anthony Kiedis, Weezer, and recently Kendrick Lamar - has contributed to this.
When American celebrities start gushing about Oasis on social media and on TV over the next few months that will cause a massive surge in popularity for the band and introduce them to a large new audience. Word of mouth on social media - and Oasis songs being used in TikToks - will do even more. The music's not all; the highly meme-able clips of the Gallaghers in interviews over the last 30 years also lend themselves well to the modern social media format.
This tech stuff didn't exist in the 90s and Oasis had to rely on the record label and willing media companies to promote them. I genuinely think we are heading for a revival in popularity to rival 1996-1998.

It feels like 1996 again when people out and about discussed Oasis. Hopefully USA dates get announced within a month to capitalize on this momentum plus they will need the 365 days or so to sell these football stadiums out. |

I like the idea of Oasis getting some local bands to play these USA dates with them.
LA - Weezer
Chicago - Smashing Pumpkins

Not sure who is the biggest rock band currently. |

Why can't oasis tour with someone who's actually in their league but with USA appeal
like the chili peppers or u2 or even the killers

Those bands you named are bigger here at the moment. Nobody is gonna outshine Oasis on this USA run. It’s gotta be a band just beneath them I think. |

When the boys do finally hit the states, I only want a giant black tarp with the classic decca style Oasis logo behind them. Thats it.

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 agree with this assessment. Outside of the UK, Oasis are a bonafide stadium band in South America and Mexico but otherwise, they are a 20K arena band in most places, including Europe unless I am mistaken. Possible exception is Japan if they consolodate and only play one or two gigs max. What is more outrageous than the American venues are the australian ones. When has Oasis ever been that popular down under? |

I would like to see your source for that figure, here is mine: chartmasters.org/cspc-oasis-popularity-analysis/ |

The Killers would be a good pick and definitely possible if it's really stadiums. |

Chartmasters talks rubbish. Under Alan McGee alone they sold 65 million records , he’s on record stating it . They have definitely in the last 24 years sold around 40 million records , wonderwall alone has 3 billion streams , they’ve sold over 25 million albums this turn of the century Record sales is not album sales .. it’s total sales and oasis are past the 100 million mark … wonderwall alone is double figures .. they are a huge singles bands old Jeff may have got carried away but they’ve shifted more than many think .. their hits and big albums were big in America Sorry for the double post but chartmasters had their total sales at 65.5 million... there is no way that in 7 years with no band activity they would jump to 100 million...

The answer to the American support is staring us in the face. Get Damon and Jarvis on the phone!

Seems like they'll wait to announce USA/worldwide dates until after the UK sale matures for a week or more.
I missed the pre-sale sign-up, and suppose the UK sale will be somewhat geofenced against non-EU folk. I'll try for tixs tomorrow morning, but not convinced I'll be successful.
I wanted to convince myself a 4-6 stadium gigs in USA could work, but the stadium gig season ends pretty quickly in September, and I don't foresee the band hightailing it to another global leg after smashing it for a solid 5+ weeks in UK. Not to mention I'm still skeptical a 50,000+ venue would be a full sellout.
Lends itself to maybe arenas in Oct/Nov? Surely they wouldn't build around the Austin City Limits Festival because a festival wouldn't need top pay a "reunion premium" to get their festival sales.
My latest guess: they enjoy 2 weeks off after UK, and then do Japan/South America stadiums late Sept/Oct; leaves N.American arenas for Nov/Dec (NYC, Boston, Toronto, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, LA, Mexico City)

At this stage I see no reason to doubt it. US will be a small number of big gigs. |

This will be their first worldwide stadium tour because it condense the gigs and travel times which in the past tends to cause problems.. they were playing 5/6 in Brazil when they could play a stadium.. the demand of marketed right will be there and most of the reasons they didn’t ever tour Europe stadium wise was the costs , in Japan they are the biggest international band of the last 40 years they are huge there .
This tour will be massive and will finish with Glastonbury and knebworth

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 MetLife Stadium is 80,000, no way are they playing there |
