The story
British rock band Oasis announced on September 14 that they will tour Europe and North America starting in May next year. Last year’s tour — their first world tour since reuniting — included shows in Japan and generated major buzz, but the newly announced dates don’t include any Asian stops. In the thread, many pointed to a shortage of suitable venues (箱/hako, slang for concert venue) and the weak yen as possible reasons, while others noted that this tour itself is limited to Europe and North America, leading to mixed reactions.

[LONDON, Kyodo] British rock band Oasis announced on the 14th that they will kick off a tour of Europe and the United States starting in May next year. Oasis reunited and carried out a world tour last year, which included shows in Japan and drew major attention. The newly announced schedule does not include any Japan performances.
The tour opens on May 21 next year in Glasgow, Scotland, and travels through Germany, France, Italy, the United States and more, wrapping up with a show near London on September 19.

What people said
Japan's genuinely short on venues (箱/hako) these days.
I wonder how much tickets will go for on the resale/auction sites.
This is Japan passing.
Last year they only came out of obligation.
If they do come to Japan, maybe there's a slim chance it'd be Nissan Stadium or the New National Stadium.
I don't think they're head and shoulders above the rest of the Britpop pack talent-wise.
Go on then, tell me which bands you think are good.
Even among '90s Britpop bands, they've got a ton of Beatles-esque, catchy pop songs.
Correct: 'Oeacis'
I'm Native American, so posts like this irritate me.
Tani Masao and Rock Community.
So Asia, South America, and Australia are probably getting skipped again this time.
Are they playing new cities in North America? Haven't checked, so not sure.
Wait, seriously, not a single Asian date?
Calling it 'Japan passing' is just dumb.
Re: #34
Glasgow — Celtic Park (Celtic's home ground), 5 days
Manchester — Etihad Stadium (Man City's home), 11 days
Munich — Allianz Arena (Bayern's home), 2 days
Barcelona — Barcelona Olympic Stadium, 2 days
Amsterdam — Johan Cruyff Arena (Ajax's home), 2 days
Paris — Stade de France, 2 days
Rome — Stadio Olimpico (Roma and Lazio's home), 2 days
Boston — Gillette Stadium (Patriots' home), 3 days
Las Vegas — Allegiant Stadium (Raiders' home), 3 days
Ireland — Slane Castle, 3 days
UK — Knebworth, 4 days
It sounded great to me though.
I actually want to hear his own voice.
Say it! 'Orasho-say!' (a jokey phonetic take on Liam's garbled ad-libs)
Plus Japan's just far away.
Huh?
Less than the UK for sure, but I always had the impression they were bigger in Japan than in the US.
Maybe it's the buzz from this year's World Cup, combined with Japan's general drift away from Western music — did Japan just become a low-priority market for them?
Back in the '90s and 2000s, Oasis's popularity in Japan should've been pretty high, relatively speaking.
Nah, it's probably already been announced in full — that's it.
That vibe has never once existed in 30 years.
Background and Key Points of This Story
Oasis went on hiatus in 2009 before stunning fans with a reunion announcement in 2024, and last year they completed their first world tour in roughly 16 years. The newly announced tour, running from May 2026, opens in Glasgow, tours various European cities and the US, and wraps up near London in September — covering only Europe and North America. The article itself doesn’t fully address the fact that Asia, along with South America and Oceania, is also missing from the schedule. In the thread, some pointed to venue shortages and the weak yen as reasons, while others noted that this tour was simply limited to Europe and North America from the outset, splitting opinion between those who felt ‘Japan alone got cut’ and those who argued ‘other regions aren’t getting toured either.’ Some also voiced skepticism about the real state of Noel and Liam’s relationship, given their famously strained history.
