Oasis Reunited Play First US Show in 17 Years at Chicago

Oasis has successfully reestablished their presence in the United States with their Live ’25 reunion tour, marking their first U.S. concerts since 2008. Their sold-out show at Chicago’s Soldier Field demonstrated that American fans have embraced the band with enthusiasm comparable to their U.K. fanbase, dispelling previous doubts about their stateside appeal. The Gallagher brothers’ improved relationship and the band’s tight performance energized the crowd, with fans engaging deeply in classic hits and the band delivering a charismatic show. Despite previously struggling to fully crack the U.S. market in the 1990s, Oasis has sold over seven million records in America, and Noel Gallagher attributes their earlier limited success to the band's refusal to conform to American industry expectations. The reunion tour’s success, combined with fervent fan reactions and merchandise sales, signals a strong American resurgence for the band. This renewed acclaim suggests that Oasis is now poised to fill a stadium-rock void in the U.S. market left by acts like the Rolling Stones and U2.
