Oasis has added a second concert in Toronto to its long-awaited international reunion tour set to kick off next summer.
The English rock band, featuring brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, announced Wednesday that “due to phenomenal demand,” it will perform on Aug. 25, 2025, at the upcoming Rogers Stadium — a 50,000-seat outdoor venue to be built at the former site of Downsview Airport.
The second performance comes just two days after the group announced an Aug. 24 show at the venue.
Fans who want first dibs on tickets have a chance during the presale that opens on Thursday afternoon, while the general sale takes place on Friday.
All tickets will be sold on Ticketmaster.
Before the initial announcement on Monday, a rumour of a possible date in the city spread when the band posted on its X account an image of the brothers on a giant billboard in what appeared to be Yonge-Dundas Square.
The billboard, with the phrase “Be careful what you wish for” above a photo of the Gallagher brothers with the words “Monday 8AM ET” and “oasis” below, had been seen in-person by a few Star employees over the weekend.
The band also added shows in other cities, including Los Angeles, Mexico City and East Rutherford, N.J.
American rock band Cage the Elephant will be supporting all dates.
In late August, the Gallaghers announced that they will play multiple shows in the U.K. and Ireland next year, the band’s first reunion after splitting 15 years ago.
While the U.K and Ireland dates have sold out, thousands of ticket buyers say they waited online for hours, only to be charged exorbitant “surge” prices.
The band confirmed that Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing model” will not be used for the North American dates.
“We have made this decision for the North American tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the U.K. and Ireland experienced recently,” it said in statement.
Though still many months away, the tour is already one of the most-anticipated live music events in the world.
The band rose to global success in the mid-‘90s with hits like “Wonderwall,” “Champagne Supernova” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” Further buoyed by their bitter rivalry with the London rock outfit Blur, Oasis helped define the Britpop phenomenon, which offered a brighter alternative to the grunge music that dominated the airwaves in the first half of the decade.
Beyond the Gallaghers, the original Oasis members — drummer Tony McCarroll, bassist Paul McGuigan and guitarist Paul Arthurs — are not expected to join the reunion.
