British rock band Oasis launched the U.S. leg of their 2025 reunion tour with a sold-out concert at Chicago's Soldier Field on Thursday night. This performance marked the band's only Midwestern stop in the United States and was part of a limited North American itinerary that includes just five cities. The reunion tour is notable as Oasis returned to the stage after a 16-year hiatus, led by the Gallagher brothers. The event featured a drone light show illuminating the Chicago sky on the eve of the concert. The series of four major concerts in four days at Soldier Field is expected to generate substantial local revenue, including a notable contribution to Chicago's 9% amusement tax, benefiting the city's economy through concert tourism.
