U.S. Oasis fans may soon have reason to celebrate as the Gallagher brothers hint at bringing their reunion tour across the Atlantic.

On Tuesday, the band teased American fans with an intriguing image of a Times Square billboard that read: “If we need to put up a billboard to get these guys to come to the States, here it is.” This photo was shared on the official Oasis Instagram page, accompanied by a side-eye emoji.

Although plans for a U.S. tour have yet to be confirmed, Oasis recently announced that “plans are underway for OASIS LIVE ‘25 to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year,” according to Billboard.

After their U.K. tour dates sold out, a spokesperson for the band indicated that the hype around their international tour dates is “rapidly mounting,” reported Billboard.

Oasis faced a substantial backlash due to the high prices of their tickets during the 2025 tour. Every announced date sold out, as mentioned by Reuters, with tickets disappearing within 10 hours. The massive demand led to website crashes and increased ticket prices.

Ticketmaster commented on the chaos, saying, “As anticipated, millions of fans are accessing our site so have been placed in a queue. Fans are advised to hold their place in line, make sure they’re only using one tab, clear cookies, and ensure they aren’t using any VPN software on their device.”

Ticket prices surged significantly due to “dynamic pricing.” While tickets were initially priced at £135 each, they shot up to £355 because of this pricing strategy where costs increase with demand, per BBC. This left fans dismayed. One fan tweeted, “That feeling when you wait in a queue for four hours only to be told the price of the ticket has risen from £148 to… £355??? Because they’re ‘in demand’. How is this not illegal?”

Another fan criticized the inflated prices, stating, “It’s disgraceful to see standing tickets priced at £355.20—pure exploitation. They should be ashamed, turning fan excitement into a money grab. This greed is ruining what should be a joyful experience.”

In response, Ticketmaster denied raising ticket costs, pointing out that “promoters and artists set ticket prices,” as noted on their website.

Not long after the tickets sold out, their resale value shot up drastically. For instance, a single standing ticket for a Cardiff show is listed at £4,519 on StubHub. If you want a lower bowl seat at Wembley Stadium, it will set you back £7,223, also on StubHub.

Fans in the U.K. are hoping the Gallagher brothers can complete their 17-date tour without any major fallouts. The Oasis frontmen have a tumultuous history of public spats, sometimes even during performances, which have previously caused tours to end prematurely.

An infamous incident occurred during a 1994 show in Los Angeles when an onstage altercation ended with Liam striking Noel with a tambourine, prompting Noel to storm off stage, as documented by Variety. Supporters are praying that such drama doesn’t repeat itself this time around.

“I cannot stress this enough – this is the first, and only time that you should pay the $47 for event insurance,” one fan advised on social media regarding the tour.

With anticipation rising and fans eagerly awaiting possible U.S. tour dates, it seems the excitement for Oasis’s return is as high as ever.
