Overview

• The band played a sold-out show at Soldier Field on Aug. 28, marking Oasis’s first U.S. concert in nearly 17 years and the first American stop of the Live ’25 tour.
• A tightly rehearsed 23-song set leaned on 1990s staples, closing with “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Wonderwall,” and “Champagne Supernova.”
• Liam and Noel Gallagher signaled reconciliation with hand-in-hand entrances and onstage nods, while Cage the Elephant opened with a high-energy set.
• Fan fervor spilled beyond the stadium, with long lines at a Chicago pop-up shop and brisk merchandise sales during a run of limited U.S. dates.
• Reviews diverged, with outlets like Rolling Stone and Billboard praising a triumphant return as the Chicago Tribune criticized a routine, tightly scripted show; the tour moves next to MetLife Stadium and the Rose Bowl after opening the North American leg in Toronto.
