Oasis are returning to Knebworth!  Band plan five shows to mark the 30th anniversary of legendary 1996 gigs after wrapping their reunion world tour

by

They were the gigs that epitomised the Britpop era. 

During the peak of their popularity, Oasis performed to entirely full audiences totaling 250,000 people across two evenings, which took place on the grounds of the historical Knebworth House in Hertfordshire, England, during the month of August in the year 1996.

To celebrate the 30-year anniversary of those concerts, and to prolong Liam and Noel Gallagher’s reunion tour, they have scheduled five performances at that venue for the following summer.

According to reports from the music industry, it’s suggested that the brothers are planning potential performances in 2026, after their highly profitable global tour which might have raked in as much as £1.2 billion. These upcoming Knebworth anniversary concerts could potentially add another £100 million to their earnings.

According to a source, there’s been mention of a financial opportunity. Despite decades of maintaining they wouldn’t reunite, it appears that Liam and Noel have scheduled some concerts, allotting five days for these performances.

For enthusiasts, it’s an incredibly thrilling prospect. Back in 1996, it was a particularly memorable event. It represented the height of Britpop, so if Oasis were to perform at Knebworth once more, it would undeniably be a dream come true for the fans.

The proposal involves holding five extraordinary musical events, collectively known as a music festival. Initially, fans were offered a reunion tour. It now seems probable that they’ll have the opportunity to reminisce about those two concerts at Knebworth.

During the year 1996, when Oasis, renowned for their popular songs like “Don’t Look Back In Anger” and “Some Might Say,” performed there, an astonishing number of people in the UK sought tickets. It is said that over 2% of the entire UK population applied for them! Incredibly, these tickets were sold out within a mere 24 hours.

In the year 2022, Liam made a comeback to the venue for two performances, exactly one year following the cinema release of a documentary film that showcased the iconic 1996 Knebworth concerts.

In the previous year, it was revealed that Oasis would be getting back together for a tour following a 15-year period marked by public disputes, arguments, and heated exchanges among the band’s brothers.

This is about an altercation that took place backstage during the Rock en Seine festival, which was held on the western side of Paris in August 2009.

As I eagerly awaited their much-anticipated performance, my heart raced with excitement… but then, right before they were about to take the stage, the brothers erupted into a ferocious fight! The tension had been building for a while, and as Liam learned that Noel was planning to leave the band, he exploded in anger and shattered Noel’s guitar in the heat of the moment. I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing – it was like watching my own personal rock ‘n’ roll drama unfold before my eyes!

In the end, they reconciled, and began their highly anticipated reunion tour on July 4, at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

After some time apart, they patched things up and officially launched their reunion tour on the 4th of July at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

58-year-old Noel and 52-year-old Liam are presently showcasing their talents in the United States. Over the weekend, they performed two packed concerts at the sprawling Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California, which seats 90,000 spectators. The enthusiastic crowd included music legends like Sir Paul McCartney, Rita Ora, and renowned actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, finding myself in the esteemed company of Sir Paul McCartney, aged 83, and his delightful partner Nancy Shevell, 65, I was treated to the mesmerizing rendition of two timeless Beatles classics – ‘Birthday’ and ‘I Saw Her Standing There’. Witnessing such a performance, I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration: ‘Simply fabulous!’

Earlier this week, it was reported by The Daily Mail that the band’s longtime photographer, Kevin Cummins, speculated that Oasis might be prepared to create their initial studio album in 17 years.

Cummins, aged 72, expressed optimism about the upcoming album, noting that Noel has been composing songs during tours, while Liam’s more assertive stage persona seems to have toned down.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I can’t help but suggest that these two musical talents could easily collaborate on an album. With Noel continuously crafting beautiful melodies and Liam possessing a vocal range perfectly matched for the tunes, it seems only natural to me that they would take advantage of this opportunity in the recording studio.

Offering some perspective on their renewed bond, Cummins noted: “Liam has grown significantly. He’s quite humble about himself. There’s a great deal of affection evident during their performance.
