Biography
When Noel Gallagher quit as a guitar tech for local psychedelic scenesters Inspiral Carpets and joined brother Liam Gallagher's band the Rain, a new British force was born. Borrowing heavily from the Beatles, punk and the baggy Madchester scene, a swaggering, working-class retort to grunge soon blared out of Manchester. Debut album Definitely Maybe (1994) positioned them at the helm of Britpop, before a snarling spat with Blur turned them into bad-boy tabloid darlings. As "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back In Anger" and "Some Might Say" became terrace anthems, second album (What's The Story) Morning Glory (1995) crowned Oasisas UK's biggest band and two legendary nights in front of 250,000 at Knebworth was their coronation. Be Here Now (1997) didn't fare as well, but they still sold out stadiums, topped charts and raised merry hell. Through line-up changes, blazing rows and mixed reviews the fans stayed loyal, but a bust-up in Paris in 2009 finally ended their reign. However, in 2010 their album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? was awarded the BRIT for Best Album of 30 years. In 2024, they kept the rumour mill spinning with news of a potential reunion, which was then announced on 27 August, two days before the 30th anniversary of Definitely Maybe. The Oasis Live '25 Tour will mark Oasis's first live appearances since their 2009 split. Following the announcement of the tourâwhich was marred by criticisms of dynamic pricing that prompted an investigation from the UK's Competition and Markets Authorityâseveral of the band's tracks found their way back into the charts, including "Live Forever."
