Oasis will take their Live ’25 tour across the world with 13 cities in the US, Canada, Asia and Australia set to be played by the band.
Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher had always been clear that their reunion tour next year would be a ‘world tour’, but until now have been tight-lipped on what form this might take.
UK and Ireland dates were subject to ‘unprecedented’ demand when tickets went on sale last month, with fans left enraged by prices skyrocketing due to Ticketmaster’s ‘dynamic pricing’, or by being kicked off the site once they had queued for hours to secure a spot.
It had been suggested last week that US tour dates would be revealed on Friday, but NME have announced a day before then that 13 cities in the US and beyond will host the britpop legends.
Though their report does not mention venues, it suggests Oasis fans stateside might be able to watch the band at the enormous MetLife Stadium with East Rutherford, New Jersey, one of the cities which will host the group.

As well as East Rutherford, the Gallaghers and their bandmates will also be visiting Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles on the US leg of their tour.
Heading north, Oasis will reportedly be stopping off in Toronto to play to some of their Canadian fans.
Perhaps coincidentally, it has been revealed today that next year will see the construction of a new 50,000 capacity outdoor concert venue – which will be the city’s largest.
In the other direction, Mexico City is set to host the rock and roll stars, with more dates expected in Sao Paolo, Brazil, Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The world tour will apparently also take the band the other side of the Pacific Ocean, including in both Melbourne and Sydney, Australia.
Oasis are also set to appear in South Korea and Japan in Seoul and Tokyo respectively.
Exact dates, venues and ticketing details are all due to be confirmed shortly.
It remains unclear whether Ticketmaster will still be the main provider of spaces for fans at the gigs following the chaos which fans experienced when trying to book spaces in the UK and Ireland.
After the first wave of sales, Oasis and Ticketmaster faced calls to ‘do the right thing’ and refund fans hit by dynamic pricing by consumer group Which?
The band and ticketing giant faced the fury of those eager to watch Oasis’s hotly-anticipated tour after the price of standard tickets more than doubled from £148 to £355.
Ticketmaster said prices were driven up by surging demand and the policy had been agreed with the band’s management, Oasis itself said they were unaware of dynamic pricing would be implemented when tickets initially went on sale.
Since then the UK’s government and competition watchdog have pledged to look into the implementation of the policy.
And Which?, one of Britain’s most well known consumer groups, has called for those who paid more than expected to seal their place at the gigs to have some of their money returned.
Following the controversy, Which? asked Oasis fans to send in screenshots of the ticket-buying and checkout process to see if they were warned that ticket prices could surge due to high levels of demand.
Under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (CPRs), traders must not mislead consumers with how prices are presented or leave out key pricing information that they might need to make an informed decision about their purchase.
Which? said many fans were not informed about the increases until after they had already tried to add cheaper tickets to their baskets.
While the use of ‘dynamic pricing’ was mentioned in the terms and conditions on the website, fans were not warned that this practice would be used for Oasis tickets, the watchdog said.
