U2 played there on their 360 tour.
As it was mentioned earlier I'm not a fan of other stage setups than the classic at the end of the pitch and I'm glad Oasis ain't doing anything different.
U2 on that tour ^^ and just this year Metallica in Amsterdam had those designs with the stage being put in the middle. Looks cool on video and of course you can sell all seats but the live experience didn't do it for me.

Looking back, when they did Wembley in '09 it looks like approximately 1/3 of the stadium wasn't even used. It's crazy to think about that many empty seats given how quick they can sell out UK dates. You would think the promoter/management this time would be real interested in finding some kind of a stage design that would suit the band and allow for more of the stadium's seating to be used. I wonder how similar this UK run will look to 2009's seating and how the classic method of removing seating could still come into play on the Canada/US run (US specifically because we don't get a stadium show in Canada). On that thought, the Rogers Center here in Toronto managed 52,704 for U2's 2017 Joshua Tree tour. The TO show is 24 with 25 as the off day and the Blue Jays are playing away games from Aug 18 - and including Aug 24. They return home on the 25. Had the away games been different I would have loved to see that Oasis date in the Rogers Center with the dome open and the CN Tower's lights in sync with the stage lighting. Would have made for a one off unusual show to draw in fans from around the world. A stadium show would have also allowed for better security for the stage given what happened the last time I saw Oasis when Noel was attacked on Toronto Island Park mid concert. 1/3? I did 2 nights and this was full. As you can see on this biblical moment I will never forget this night This is what I mean by 1/3 of the stadium wasn't used. I'm not looking for or expecting a 360 stage by any means but I thought the promoters might be thinking of ways to add 2-3 more sections in 500-100. It would make a lot more fans happy. Meaning more t-shirts and drinks sold to record breaking numbers for a band that hasn't been active for 15 years. There's no downside. There is a restriction on your view of the band but none on the 80,000 strong choir singing at you. As Lennon mentioned it's a unique experience. You can even see in the image they actually had smaller screens behind the larger screen. If you made them larger the restricted view seats could now watch the concert like a cinema inside a stadium and still get the experience of the crowd.  |

Ok yes so that's it you spoke about the use of the stadium 😉. I was in 2nd line on the golden circle, so I experienced a little the 80 000 singing at me 😂. To be serious, yes these configurations in stadium always cut a lot of seats, but I think they have no choice with all the stuff and don't have a tiny stage in the middle of a big stadium 😅 |

Finger crossed same will happen to oasis |

I hope so, the more fans the better. I want the records smashed and all the people who think Oasis aren’t relevant anymore to go back under their bridge.

Hearing that LiveNation may be involved in US dates does make me worry a bit about logistics. America is kind of a weak market for touring right now. Outside of a few permanent A-list legends and country music superstars, few artists are actually playing stadiums anymore. And a surprising amount of acts are struggling to fill arenas. A lot of it comes down to outrageous pricing hikes - after years of inflation, most consumers will balk at triple digit ticket costs. Some of it is just completely overestimated real word popularity/demand because artists’ egos have become inflated and they don’t think they should have to play smaller venues anymore - and then their management enables them. Because everyone wants a huge payday. The Black Keys were the biggest example of this recently. A whole arena tour cancelled because they couldn’t move more than a few thousand tickets in most cities. Completely embarrassing. But there were many others too, including artists that are currently far more mainstream today than Oasis ever were in the US in the 90s. There have been numerous articles on this phenomenon recently that are worth reading: www.stereogum.com/2267170/arena-tour-ticket-sales-black-keys-jlo/columns/sounding-board/www.gq.com/story/pulling-weeds-artists-are-canceling-arena-tours-right-and-leftFact of the matter is Oasis are just not the band here that they are elsewhere. They do not have the sort of diehard cult following that other bands have; most of their fandom is pretty casual. And unlike the UK, where even non-fans could probably sing along to most of “Morning Glory” and about half of “Definitely Maybe”, many Oasis “fans” here know them for 2-3 songs. But I could easily see their management/them chasing a payday and incorrectly assuming that their ability to both fill stadia, and do so at high prices, extends to the US. Especially if fans have to travel significantly to see them vs. Oasis coming to their city/metro area. Besides I’d rather see them in a packed-to-the-gills 15k capacity arena where a majority of the fans are madferit vs. some lifeless 90k outdoor college football stadium with horrible sound where the vast majority of the seats went unsold and the rest were steeply discounted last minute on Groupon to seat fillers who only showed up for “Wonderwall”. |

Touring usa stadiums for Oasis it's should be a very risky business. |

Sorry to break it to you but not "maybe involved"... Live Nation(w. Ticketmaster) is their global promoter for everything that's coming up regarding live shows in the next 2 years. Still better than if they went with AEG which was also rumoured as far as I know.

Only been few events over 90k so maybe just not worth the effort of trying to get health and safety over the line to got over that 90k average |

Just curious, for those that know, who consistently sells out major stadiums in the U.S.? I can only think of the following (and could be wrong):
- Taylor Swift
- Metallica
- U2
- Guns N Roses
- Coldplay (?)
Don’t know much about Country or Hip-Hop acts.

Rolling Stones + AC/DC Springsteen Make no mistake though how huge these Reunion news where around the globe and what massive push they had after this. Also no other big tours announced yet for 2025 I think which is also good timing for them. Just for example  they have more monthy listeners on Spotify than Metallica, Guns 'N Roses, Foo Fighters and almost twice as much as Muse |

Shouldn’t the theory go
Especially for New York
They are playing stadiums in USA because
All the English people who can’t get tickets or want
To make the visit for a second viewing
Are all gonna fill those USA stadiums
And what a rise it would be compared to the theatres and arenas from 2008 ?

I have no idea if Oasis can fill 4 football stadiums in America but boy do I wanna see it happen. The legacy, media coverage, social media posts and making it an event might just make it happen. |

The Black Keys case is a funny one because it was obvious they couldn't fill arenas at that scale of a tour. They're way past their prime in terms of public notoriety, and pretty far from the hype Oasis is gonna generate, even if they don't end up playing stadiums. I think everyone's underestimating the power of nostalgia + social media, not to mention they'll probably have dates in fewer cities in a continental and vastly more populous country. People from all over will travel to LA, NY and Chicago (or wherever) to watch them. No sense comparing them to The Black Keys like this (and I like them, not bashing the guys), they're probably closer to those artists someone listed above, I think.

Seems to me they should have announced it the same time as the British gigs. People I know who don't talk about Oasis where thinking of going. Who knows if that's still the case weeks later. Not sure what the hell they're waiting for.

Some hardcore fans from the US will have bought tickets to the UK gigs. Some hardcore fans from the UK will buy tickets for US gigs. Maybe it makes sense to them to wait until the end of September when most people are paid again to try and get more money from them.

I'm not sure about the other stadiums, but if Gillette Stadium is really in the cards based on the leaked schedule, they typically don't announce the next year's concert schedule until November/December time frame. There are examples of some shows that have been announced earlier, but I think that those cases are typically tours that have already been announced and more dates are being added. If we don't hear anything by the end of the year, then I would be worried that the US leg of things may not be happening or at least not happening at the leaked stadiums. |

There is always the possibility that they are waiting to release the US shows alongside a new album release cycle starting in November. That would help drive ticket sales (as long as it's a good album, obviously) They would know that the UK tour would sell out without new music anyway.
