Oasis Say Hello, Goodbye to America: 5 Best Moments From Reunion Tour’s U.S. Finale at the Rose Bowl

More than 30 years ago, Oasis made their very first trek to Los Angeles, hitting the Sunset Strip to play the 500-capacity Whisky A Go Go. While a tiny show like that is typically the stuff of rock ‘n’ roll legend, we don’t need to rely on word of mouth to know what a disaster the night turned out to be.

There’s video of the full September 1994 set – which found the band having to restart several songs and even playing different tracks at the same time – and as the Gallagher brothers relayed in a 2016 documentary, they were high on what they thought was coke but turned out to be crystal meth. It all led to Noel Gallagher briefly exiting the band (for the first time, but not the last time).

It was a bleak beginning for the British band’s relationship with the second biggest city in the U.S., but there were clearly no hard feelings on Saturday and Sunday night in the adjacent Pasadena, California, as Oasis’ massive Live ’25 tour drew around 180,000 fans out to the Rose Bowl for the reunion trek’s final weekend in the U.S.

“So America, it’s official: Are we dating?” Liam Gallagher asked the crowd Sunday night before launching into “Wonderwall” – appropriately the group’s only top 10 hit on the U.S.-only Billboard Hot 100. Liam took the crowd’s booming cheers as a yes: “America and Oasis, the new hot couple, yeah?”

It’s an on-again, off-again romance that just needed a 17-year cooling-off period to really reach its full, two-sold-out-stadium-nights potential. Below, find our favorite moments from Oasis’ final weekend in the U.S.
