Oasis could be “set to announce US dates in New York and Los Angeles,” according to a new report.
Liam Gallagher, 51, appeared to confirm that he and his brother Noel, 57, will be undertaking their reunion tour in the US in a cryptic update last week.
And now, a source has claimed that a new batch of shows could be revealed as early as Friday.
Oasis have already sold out the UK leg of their long-awaited reunion tour but have come under fire after the price of standard tickets was doubled from £148 to £355 due to Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing”.
A source said The sun:Noel and Liam will announce their US shows on Friday.

They continued: ‘There will be a number of packed dates in major cities. Brits living in New York and Los Angeles should have a good chance of getting a ticket.
‘Oasis don’t want a repeat of the ticket problems they had for their home shows, but they’re hoping for the same huge demand they saw here.’
MailOnline has contacted an Oasis representative for comment.
Last week, Liam appeared to confirm that Oasis will be heading to the US for their reunion tour in a cryptic update.
Despite recent backlash, they could now be set to play their biggest US concerts yet, with Liam hinting at recent rumours about X.
When a fan asked: ‘Liam, I know you’re not our biggest fan, but are Oasis coming to America?’
He replied, “I love America and I know deep down that you love ME.”
Reports claimed on Saturday that Liam and Noel had a “financial incentive” to extend the tour.
A source said The mirror‘Their promoters at Live Nation are incredibly keen to make this happen, and Liam and Noel have verbally agreed to the plans. There has been a question of whether they’ll make it through the tour without falling out, but there’s now a massive financial incentive for them to go ahead with the show.’
When a fan asked him: “Liam, I know you’re not our biggest fan, but are Oasis coming to America?”, he replied: “I love America and I know deep down you love ME.”

The report claimed the band will play at the 70,000-seat SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, as well as other large venues across the US.
Billboards in New York’s Times Square seemed to be advertising dates in the United States.
The emails included the Amazon Music logo and a photo of the Gallagher brothers with the message: “If we need to put up a billboard to get these guys to come to America, this is it.”
Meanwhile, Oasis and Ticketmaster have faced calls to “do the right thing” and refund fans affected by the dynamic pricing from consumer group Which?
The band and ticket giant have faced fury from those eager to see Oasis’ long-awaited tour after the price of standard tickets was doubled from £148 to £355.
Ticketmaster said prices had been raised due to growing demand and the policy had been agreed with the band’s management, while Oasis said they were unaware that dynamic pricing would be implemented when tickets initially went on sale.
The UK government and competition watchdog have since agreed to review the implementation of the policy.
Now Which?, one of Britain’s best-known consumer groups, has called for those who paid more than expected to secure their place at concerts to get some of their money back.
Last week, some reports claimed that Liam and Noel had a “financial incentive” to extend the tour to the US (pictured in 2005).
Following the controversy, Which? asked Oasis fans to send screenshots of the ticket purchase and payment process to see if they were warned that ticket prices could rise due to high levels of demand.
Under the Consumer Protection and Unfair Trading Practices Regulations (CPRs), traders must not mislead consumers by the way prices are presented or omit key pricing information that they may need to make an informed decision about their purchase.
Which? said many fans were not informed about the increases until after they had already tried to add cheaper tickets to their baskets.
While the use of “dynamic pricing” was mentioned in the website’s terms and conditions, fans were not warned that this practice would be used for Oasis tickets, the watchdog said.
