By MARIA SHERMAN, AP Music WriterNEW YORK (AP) — Oasis shocked fans by announcing a reunion tour last month, ending a 15-year hiatus and, presumably, the long-held feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. But those were only U.K. dates. On Monday, the band shared that they're planning on heading to North America in 2025, too.

"America. Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along," the Britpop band known for timeless hits like "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger" shared in a statement.

There are five new stadium dates for next summer, in Toronto, Chicago, outside New York, Los Angeles and Mexico City. American rock band Cage the Elephant will open.

Last month, error messages, hourslong online queues, and dynamic pricing — the quick rise and drop of price due to demand — frustrated fans hoping to score tickets to Oasis' U.K. dates. There may be a solution for at least one of those issues: a spokesperson for Oasis management shared in a statement Monday that "Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model will not be applied to the forthcoming sale of tickets to Oasis concerts in North America."

"When unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans," it continued. "We have made this decision for the North America tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the UK and Ireland experienced recently."

Oasis split in 2009 after many years of infighting, with Noel Gallagher officially leaving the band just before a performance at a festival near Paris. Even before the dissolution, the brothers had long had an antagonistic relationship and reportedly did not speak to each other for years after the breakup. While the Gallagher brothers haven't performed together since, both regularly perform Oasis songs at their solo gigs.

Tickets for North America go on sale at 12 p.m. local time on Friday. Registration for the presale ballot is open until Tuesday at 8 a.m. Eastern. Attempts at registering for the North American presale ballot required users to answer a trivia question: "What year did Oasis last play in North America?" (It was 2008.) Last month, the U.K. presale asked for the name of band's original drummer, Tony McCarroll.

Nearly 140,000 people in Illinois have money in the form of an unclaimed property check waiting for them, Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs said in a press release last week.

According to the release, as many as 138,561 people -- a "record-setting" amount -- are set to receive a total of $13.2 million from Illinois' Unclaimed Property program.

"All they have to do is cash the check," the release said.

The recent checks, Frerichs said, are part of the latest round of the "Enhanced Money Match" program. The program allows the Treasurer's Office to "automatically" return money to individuals without them needing to file a claim, the release said.

The vast majority of the checks in this round are for between $50 and $100, the release said.

"Returning this money to its rightful owners will help make life a little bit easier for people," Treasurer Frerichs said in the statement. "At a time when we are all dealing with higher prices, it can pay for a couple bags of groceries or maybe a fill-up or two at the pump."

How does Illinois' missing money program work?

The state's "Enhanced Money Match" program crossmatches data from the state with the State Treasurer's unclaimed property database, the release said. Frerichs' office then matches and confirms names and mailing addresses and then subsequently sends a letter to the unclaimed property owner that contains the amount of unclaimed money, and the source.

Following a "quick, final review," a check is issued to the owner, the release said.

"All they have to do is watch for it in the mail a few weeks after they receive a letter from the State Treasurer's Office," the release said.

Don't don't forget to deposit the check, Frerichs' office stressed.

The program is specifically designed for cash owed to a single person, the release said.

"Not included is cash owned by multiple parties, including a joint holding of a parent and minor child, as well as shares of stocks and bonds, escrow accounts, and the contents of bank safe deposit boxes," the release added.

According to officials, the money match program is part of the office's "Unclaimed Property" program, also known as I-Cash. Illinois currently holds more than $5 billion unclaimed property, the release said.

The release stressed that the treasurer is legally required to return unclaimed property to its rightful owners or heirs, "no matter how long it takes."

How to check if you have unclaimed money in Illinois

While the money match program only applies to individuals, the state's searchable I-Cash database can be found here. The database contains unclaimed property information for individuals, properties or businesses.

You can check the I-Cash database to see if you have unclaimed money here.

You can also visit the Comptroller's website to check for unclaimed money here. The Office of the Comptroller currently has records of almost 150,000 uncashed checks worth over $50 million, the website said.
