About our Oasis news
Latest news, reviews and comment on Oasis, the Manchester rock band founded by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.
Having risen to prominence in the 1990s, Oasis are widely recognised as one of the defining and most globally successful groups of the Britpop genre. The band's debut album, Definitely Maybe, was released in 1994 and became the fastest-selling debut album in British history. Follow-up record, (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, was released the following year and spent ten weeks at number one on the British music charts, largely due to the success of singles Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger and Some Might Say.
In August 1996 Oasis played two iconic shows at Knebworth to 250,000 fans. Two and a half million people applied for tickets. The Gallagher brothers featured regularly in tabloid newspapers throughout the 1990s for their public disputes and wild lifestyles, and this eventually took its toll when Oasis confirmed their split in 2009. On 27 August 2024, following years of speculation, Oasis announced that they would reform for performances in the UK and Ireland in the Summer of 2025.
