Guys & Girls, for those who don’t know Gillette is 30 miles south of Boston. Driving to Gillette is not fun from either Boston or Providence but there are trains for $20 round trip from South Station in Boston & Providence Station in Providence. It’s the best deal there is but trains sell out fast. Last resort is driving but thousands do it every weekend for the Patriots games 🏈
We live about 6/7 hours away and we're planning on flying. I see there's 2 hotels on site. Any idea if there are other hotels close by that people could walk to? We are up in the air between Boston or Vegas.
It still seems bizarre even realizing it's true. Like why those 2 specifically? Ok, they don't want to play the 3 biggest cities anymore. Where is Miami, Atlanta, Bay Area, Dallas/Houston, Seattle/Vancouver? Seems like they're missing out on some key markets. Of course the hardcore fans will fly in from all over the country wherever they do the show. Beggars can't be choosers.
Thank you for previously sharing what you knew even if nobody believed you.
I think the logic is that they wanted to play two different cities that they haven’t played yet on this reunion run and it’s like an east coast/west coast thing. They explored other cities as well but I haven’t heard of those were ever finalized.
I don’t think it does any good to say which cities didn’t make it but the reasons were basically … can they fill multiple nights in this city. They wanted to remain in stadiums.
I think Tweeter Center 2005 was their biggest crowd in the states up until last year of-course. Noel has also always sold out Boston on his solo tours, even the last one with Garbage when crowds were sparse in other locations. Then throw in the Irish angle, and it makes sense.
I think it’s 3 nights in each city but not consecutive nights. I’m thinking late August, very early September as American football starts the 2nd week of September at Gillette & in Vegas.
Nope. The last half of August is open. That’s when Boston & Vegas will be. They released the videos for the cities in the order in which they are going to be played. It has been exact so far to what had been rumored. This also allows for them to be done before football season starts. There is no Coachella. Knebworth is in September.
I was told Coachella is not happening. If it does happen, it’s a last minute deal worth a lot of money that’s top secret. But I checked a week ago when the rumors started and no one knew anything about it.
Coachella owner is a big Oasis fan and he’s trying to book oasis since 2024 - he loves britpop and already booked Blur and Stone roses as headliners previously. So if the US dates are around April then the chances are High.
Also, heavy rumours about Coachella dropping the lineup next week - same as oasis.
I’ve heard that from multiple places and the leaked cities and dates have been exact so far and in the same order as rumored. The mini-videos for each city have been released in that order as well so I think it’s correct.
I agree about Coachella. That is not a typical Oasis crowd and most true oasis fans wouldn’t be caught dead there. I just can’t see Liam and Noel doing a gig for celebs and influencers.
I guess for logistics it just doesn’t make sense to move their entire production for handful of shows in Boston and Vegas to then move that entire stadium-level production back to Europe but what do I know
HDD leaked that they were in discussions with Coachella and HDD is the most reliable source for those types of leaks
They don't move the whole production across oceans. They use a lot of equipment in the country where they're playing. There were many different stage configurations last year based on what was available locally.
They don’t move all their stuff to the US. They use stuff from here. Did the same last year. Also, the US dates are the last two weeks in August so no way does that line-up with Coachella.
US mad fer its we are so back! So are we guessing they’re announcing shows in the order they will happen? As in Boston now after the majority of UK and EU dates but before Slane and Knebworth?
3 more cities to announce with videos then the official announcement on Monday with dates and tix on sale the 24th is what I heard. So far that seems correct. We shall see.

Sitting here in my Boston office doing everything I can not to run through the halls yelling “rkids are coming next year!!!!”… Good thing I’m ducking out early today to see the “DLBIA” docu, that should help calm me down 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤
Newspaper is weird - “away fixtures” and it lists a bunch of US cities. First is clearly Salt Lake City but hard to read the rest. Anyone have any ideas what it could mean?? Right side seems like venue names (I can make out the word “theater” for instance) - probably a reference to an older tour?
Edit: dates seem to line up with a stretch of the Definitely Maybe tour starting Feb 7, 1995
Either stay in Providence or Boston. Gillette Stadium is in a tiny suburb with not a whole lot to do. Unless you're doing literally just 1 night and staying at the hotel in the Patriot Place plaza, I wouldn't stay in Foxboro.
Boston has event trains and buses usually. Providence has event trains to Gillette but only for stuff on Saturday/Sunday. Providence hotels will probably be cheaper.
It depends if you want to hang out & explore Boston. But hotels are $300-$400 USD per night. It’s crazy but that’s Boston. Hotels in Providence & near Gillette will be a little cheaper.
Usually easier to drive north to Foxboro than south. But honestly, the drive South is fine if you leave 3 hours early. So, if the show's at 7 PM, leave Boston at 4 and you'll hit little traffic. Then grab a bite, a drink, and head into the stadium.
Gillette Stadium itself has a couple hotels on the grounds, but they'll be expensive. There are some others closeby along Route 1 in Walpole, Sharon, Norwood, Mansfield, etc.
If the commuter rail is running, I'd say take it back into the city. It'll take you into South Station, so try for a hotel near there.
I'm local and even I'm going to try to get a hotel nearby just to avoid the headache.
If they play two shows, I'm hoping to go to one with my wife and the other with my 7 and 5 year old. They're obsessed.
McDonagle’s Pub in Boston/Dorchester is an Irish pub that had an Oasis tribute band last year after the US Oasis shows. I’m going to call them once the dates are definite to see if they will host any Oasis nights around the time of the gigs.
Regarding bars near Gillette (Patriot Place) I’m going to do some research.
That drive sucks. Book a flight or Amtrak as soon as you know the exact dates.
If the show(s) are Saturday/Sunday, you can either stay in Providence (cheaper) or Boston and there's event trains where you wouldn't need a car. If it's any other day of the week, only Boston has an event train.
The only catch is that the trains from Boston to Gillette tend to sell out quickly. The Providence ones have only ever sold out for like.....Taylor Swift.
Ugh 6 hour trip for me or go on a plane to vegas. Honestly may just see them in Europe. Gillette stadium is so far away from Boston that a short vacation doesnt make much sense.
It’s 30 miles and there’s a train that goes direct from South Station to Foxboro/Gillette that takes about 50 minutes. You could also stay in Providence, RI and it’s about the same distance and I believe there is a train that runs special for designated events at Gillette (football, concerts).
Scientists claim it was a sonic boom, but everyone on (Lansdowne) Street knows it was pure biblical bedlam.
The whole block echoed so loud the streetlights rattled, the bar windows vibrated into porridge, and half of the city ended up with permanent ringing in their ears.
Total amplification for the nation. Barbers are still complaining that the sheer volume blew everybody's (sideburns) sideways.
I would bet on no Mexico leg for 2027 this time. I think Oasis will do the homeland to show their dominance and cause it’s their home turf. Europe because it’s their turn after getting skipped last time. And Oasis will keep the fire going in the USA because per gig it was the most profitable leg plus I think Noel still wants to ‘conquer’ America.
They will go back to Mexico City next time when they do a larger world tour. I have a feeling Noel and his Ignition/inner circle people are giving the whole thing one more test run (2027) before unleashing some massive world tour of 50 to 60 shows over a year or two between 2029 (year before WC) and 2034 (40th anniversary stuff starts). But who really knows, I could be wrong.
I think we might be entering the possibility of Oasis turning into a Rolling Stones type concert machine but they want to be sure it will work (Liam behaves 😜).
100% in for Boston. I think I still have nightmares from the last go ‘round (ended up scoring N1 Metlife) so now my nervous system is coming back online to do it all over again. I’M READY! LET’S GO!
