Oasis plays to half a million people on North American tour

The band returns to their native UK for two more shows

Following an epic run of shows across North America, Oasis reigned supreme at the Live ‘25 North American Tour finale this past weekend at Mexico City’s GNP Seguros Stadium.

The historic tour has brought fans of all generations together as it has made its way across North America, with over half a million fans converging on the continent to be part of this undeniably joyous cathartic moment with sold-out stops in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, Los Angeles, and Mexico City.

As the brothers walked on stage for their first show in Mexico in 17 years on Friday, September 12th, Liam shouted to the rapturous crowd of 65,000, “¡Viva México! It’s good to be back!”

A few songs in and right before a stadium-shaking performance of “Cigarettes & Alcohol,” Liam teased, “Right then, Noel, is it you that wants to introduce this next tune? As you’re a big fan of Poznan. I’ve seen you do it.”

And for the first time on the tour, Noel took it away, saying, “Hola, México. The big man here doesn’t ask for much. He doesn’t ask for the hokey pokey or any of that shit, or the Macarena. But for this next song, we’d like everybody to turn around, link arms, jump up and down in time to the music. The world is fucking watching, do not let all the Oasis fans down.”

Throughout both sold-out shows in Mexico City, the cardboard cutout of Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, maintained his position on stage that he has had since the tour kickoff in Cardiff. Stood firmly in place faithfully behind the band, it wasn’t just his usual scarf he was wearing – this time, in honor of the Mexico City shows, he was also wearing a traditional charro sombrero, which Liam decided to wear himself for Saturday night’s final two songs.

Before the band reigned over Mexico City, Oasis played the last two American shows on the Live ’25 Tour at Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, CA, where Liam confirmed America and Oasis are “the new hot couple.”

During the final moments in LA, Liam offered his thanks to the crowd, saying, “Nice one for having us, America. This tour’s been the fucking bollocks, man. I wanna thank you, man. All of us. For sticking with us over the years. We must be a fucking nightmare to support and follow, and we appreciate it – gettin’ to play these beautiful stadiums in front of you beautiful people. Champagne Supernova. Look after yourselves. Take care.”

Later this month, the band will return to the UK for their sixth and seventh nights at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium before continuing to Asia, Australia, and South America.

Ahead of the Rose Bowl shows, Oasis released “Wonderwall (Live from Dublin, 16 August ‘25).” The track was recorded on Saturday, August 16th, during the first of two sold-out nights at Dublin’s Croke Park, where they performed to over 160,000 fans in total. “Wonderwall (Live from Dublin, 16 August ‘25)” follows “Bring It On Down (Live from Edinburgh, 9 August ‘25),” “Slide Away (Live from Cardiff, 4 July ‘25),” “Cigarettes & Alcohol (Live from Manchester, 11 July ‘25),” and “Little By Little (Live from London, 2 August ‘25).”

Also released in the lead-up to North America was the limited-edition Oasis Complete Studio Album Collection box set, including all seven studio albums plus iconic B-sides album The Masterplan on vinyl and CD formats.

(What’s The Story) Morning Glory? Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition will be released on October 3rd with limited-edition formats featuring new unplugged versions of classic tracks.
