Oasis are an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991. The group initially included Liam Gallagher on lead vocals, Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs on guitar, Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan on bass, and Tony McCarroll on drums. A few months after formation, Liam Gallagher asked his older brother Noel Gallagher to join as a fifth member, taking on lead guitar and vocals. Noel became the de facto leader of the band and assumed songwriting duties for their first four albums. Oasis signed with Creation Records in 1993 and released their debut album, Definitely Maybe, in 1994. The album topped the UK Albums Chart and became the fastest-selling debut in British history at the time. In 1995, they released (What's the Story) Morning Glory? with new drummer Alan "Whitey" White. The band was involved in a highly publicized chart rivalry with Blur, known as the "Battle of Britpop." Oasis is regarded as the most successful group of the Britpop era and one of the most influential rock bands of all time.

Nine songs to establish the comeback, a central change of voice and four songs held for the encore: the Live ’25 running order had more than one finish in mind.

Oasis’s 1996 Knebworth shows reveal the practical work behind a colossal PA, from mapping a field to controlling the noise on stage.

Oasis’ anniversary campaign combined five unplugged reworkings made from original masters with a singles box using 2014 remasters, original B-sides and recreated 1996 packaging.

Black Foxxes’ 2018 album turns an Icelandic word for rage into a study of recovery, escape and emotional contrast.

From a debut-night set at Stockport’s Plaza to a Manchester residency built around venues from their ascent, Blossoms have treated home as material, audience and memory rather than a branding exercise.

From Morning Glory's seven-minute finale to the reunion's three-guitar arrangement, 'Champagne Supernova' gave Oasis room to grow without losing the song.

The planned sale of 63 Oasis recordings has been suspended amid reported legal action from the band.

Liam Gallagher has said Oasis may talk about new music once their 2027 stadium run is complete, while stopping short of confirming an album.

The songs are long and the guitars are plentiful. But the making of Oasis’ third album reveals more deliberate choices, and more musical variety, than its reputation allows.

Liam Gallagher marked Oasis Live ’27 selling out with a typically blunt message for fans who missed tickets.

Their 1995 appearance came before ‘Morning Glory’; their 2009 headline show came months before the split. Slane holds two distinct chapters of Oasis history.

Oasis’ audience now includes people who remember the original era and those who inherited its records, films and choruses later on.

The first Live ’27 ticket window has opened, with early buyers reporting swift purchases alongside technical problems and resale concerns.

Joshua Halling, Gabrielle Ravet, Tom Pallant and more have been recognised at this year’s Abbey Road Music Photography Awards.

From Knebworth’s quarter-million people to a reunion built around songs with decades of history, Oasis crowds changed shape between 1996 and 2025.

After Rob Collins’ death, Martin Duffy helped The Charlatans take the stage. Tim Burgess has since described how close they came to never playing again.

Liam Gallagher has said Oasis’ Live ’27 dates are not intended as a farewell, though he cannot promise they will not be the band’s last shows.

The reunion’s strongest argument isn’t an imagined next album. It’s the musical decisions that made familiar songs worth returning to in 2025.

Oasis say their Live ’27 ticket codes are personal, non-transferable and will only arrive from one email address.

Oasis Live ’27 makes the reunion a continuing commitment. Whether that means creative renewal is a separate question, and a new album needn’t be the only test.

Oasis have expanded their 2027 itinerary with extra dates in Munich, Rome and Knebworth, while revising their Paris shows.

A huge audience for Oasis isn't automatically an audience for new bands. Support slots, student gigs and investment in smaller venues offer more concrete possibilities.

At Wembley in 2025, the audience drowned out the closing songs. Behind that communal roar were carefully shared guitar parts, a worked-over setlist and thousands of people who knew when to come in.

Three guitars, a shorter setlist and jokes before the curtain opened: the details that show how Oasis made their 2025 reunion work.

Nick Hodgson and Justin Parker wrote ‘On The Same Side’ with Liam Gallagher in mind. After Gallagher declined it, the song became part of Everyone Says Hi’s debut album.

A quarter of a million people attended Oasis’ two Knebworth concerts in August 1996. Beyond the enormous numbers, the setlist captures a band still looking forwards.

Jake Scott’s documentary brings concert archives and fans’ memories together, with all the intimacy and selective hindsight that an anniversary invites.

Between the debut album and Knebworth lay overseas club dates, a rapidly expanding repertoire and British engagements that kept changing the meaning of big.

Oasis songs framed Liam Gallagher’s 2022 return, but his solo repertoire and John Squire’s guest appearance made it more complicated than a rerun of 1996.
