Overview

• Oasis kicked off the North American leg in Chicago with a sold-out, two-hour stadium show featuring opener Cage the Elephant.
• The 23-song set leaned on classics with encores of “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” “Wonderwall” and “Champagne Supernova,” and Noel Gallagher took lead on a mid-set ballad run.
• Reviews highlighted visible goodwill between Liam and Noel Gallagher, with onstage gestures replacing the rancor that defined their long hiatus.
• Chicago’s show was billed as one of only a few U.S. dates, with subsequent North American stops reported to include East Rutherford, Pasadena and Mexico City.
• The concert drew more than 60,000 fans and fueled a local surge in demand, as the Chicago Tribune noted higher hotel rates and cited a U.K. press–reported “Oasis bump” in prices during earlier tour stops.
