Don't Believe the Truth Tour

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