Oasis concert chronology

The Don't Believe the Truth Tour was a concert tour by the English rock band Oasis in support of their sixth album Don't Believe the Truth (2005). The world tour began with a run of warm-up shows in May 2005, including a widely covered date at London's Astoria, and continued through arena, festival and stadium appearances across Europe, North America, Asia, Oceania and South America before concluding in March 2006.[1]

The tour marked the group's first major outing following the departure of drummer Alan White who was replaced by touring drummer Zak Starkey.[2][3]

In early coverage of Oasis's May 2005 warm-up performances, reviewers framed the dates as a high-profile re-introduction ahead of the release of Don't Believe the Truth and the band's summer stadium commitments.[4] The Astoria set, for example, combined older material ("Bring It On Down", "Morning Glory", "Live Forever") with new songs from the forthcoming album, reflecting the band's emphasis on premiering new material while retaining a hits-heavy core.[5]

The tour itinerary mixed headline concerts with major festival appearances (including Hurricane Festival, Southside Festival, and Summer Sonic) and a set of large UK outdoor shows in late June and July 2005.[6]

In North America, Oasis played a mixture of amphitheatres and arenas in 2005, quickly selling out Madison Square Garden in New York City.[7]

Critical reception

Contemporary coverage often framed the 2005 warm-up dates as a high-profile re-introduction for Oasis ahead of the wider world tour, with reviewers noting that sets typically paired established singles with unreleased new songs.[8][9][10][11]
