Last night, after over 16 years, Oasis returned to North America to kick off the next leg of their global Oasis Live ‘25 tour at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium in front of a sold-out crowd of 55,000.

Shortly after taking the stage last night at 8:45pm, Liam shared a story from earlier that morning.

“I bumped into a geezer today about half seven in the morning called Hugo. He comes up to me and says, ‘Mr. Gallagher,’ and I said, ‘No need for that. It’s Liam.’”

“He says, ‘Good luck tonight trying to get these Canadians doing the Poznan.’”

“He says, ‘Cause they’re all a little bit shy. They’re a little bit scared and stuff. They all smoke pot now. They’re all fucking out of their heads.’”

“He says, ‘Good luck with doing that shit tonight.’”

“So what, are we going to prove them wrong then or what? You don’t want to be the first one letting this side down.”

Liam continued before launching into “Cigarettes & Alcohol” instructing the crowd, “You lot turn around. Put your arms around each other. Give each other a cuddle, and just jump up and down. It’s very easy.”  And by the end of the song, Toronto proved victorious and delivered a proper Poznan. Liam concluded, “We showed Hugo. We showed ‘em.”

Another few songs in, the skies unleashed the rain and the wind during “Stand By Me,” and before “Whatever,” a drenched Liam pondered to the still 55,000 strong crowd, “Don’t you just love it, a little bit of chaos when the weather comes? So fucking good, innit? Twist your melons just a little bit, innit? All that sunshine, it’s not good for ya. Wind and sleet. Good for the soul.”

The band will return tonight for another sold-out show at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium before heading to Chicago for a sold-out show at Soldier Field on August 28th. From there, the band will play back-to-back sold-out shows in East Rutherford, Los Angeles, and Mexico City to wrap the North American leg.
