The Britpop legends - who will hit the road in 2025 for their highly anticipated reunion tour - are preparing to play their first live shows since their split in 2009, and now Liam and Noel Gallagher have unveiled further plans.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the band's management wrote: "Due to phenomenal demand, additional dates have been announced in Toronto, East Rutherford, Los Angeles and Mexico City!" They later confirmed that "fans selected in the private pre-sale ballot" for the North American tour have been given their code and "all the information required".

They added: "Please not, a code does not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis."

The band's Nort American tour tickets off on August 24 with two shows in Toronto, before a night in Chicago, and double headers in New Jersey, LA and Mexico City.

In August 2009 Noel Gallagher quit the band in the wake of a backstage bust-up with younger brother Liam Gallagher ahead of a Paris festival appearance which led to them being estranged for 15 years before the reunion announcement.

Oasis have already sold out 19 stadium shows in the UK and Ireland, but the ticket sale led to complaints from fans due to Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing policy being enacted.

After queuing for hours and battling through technical issues many fans were charged over double the price of a face value ticket due to the phenomenal demand.

For the North American dates Oasis have confirmed that Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model will not be applied. An official statement from Oasis' management read: "Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model will not be applied to the forthcoming sale of tickets to Oasis concerts in North America.

"It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a significant tool to combat ticket touting and keeps prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable.

"But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.

"We have made this decision for the North America tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the UK and Ireland experienced recently."
