Oasis calling on fans to share 'deep meaning' stories for tour film
Oasis fans are being invited to share their stories about "a particular song" that holds "deep meaning" to them for the Oasis Live '25 Tour film.
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is producing the reuniting Britpop legends' documentary, with renowned filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace on board to direct - the duo behind LCD Soundsystem's concert film Shut Up And Play The Hits.
Magna Studios - whose credits include Beastie Boys Story, Gangs Of London, 20000 Days On Earth, and Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now - are heading up the production and are asking fans to send in their special memories associated with the Live Forever hitmakers' songs for potential inclusion in the film.
A post on the oasis-film.com website read: "Now, in the year of Oasis' sell out reunion tour, Magna Studios and Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, A Thousand Blows) - in association with Oasis - are making a film exploring how this band's music has become so important to so many.
"We are asking people all over the world if there is a particular Oasis song that has deep meaning for you. A song that tells the story of a life changing moment, a love, a loss, a heartbreak, or a break for freedom.
"Whatever the Oasis song, whatever the story – tell us…"
Oasis' UK and Ireland shows - their first in 16 years - will kick off in Cardiff on July 4 and see them joined by special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast.
The Supersonic band will also play USA, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil.
Meanwhile, frontman Liam Gallagher recently dismissed fan concerns over his vocal health ahead of the long-awaited reunion tour.
The 52-year-old frontman - who has Hashimoto's disease, which can cause a hoarse voice - sparked a frenzy online after posting about taking throat lozenges, sour candies and cough syrup, prompting speculation from fans that his voice might not hold up during his and older brother Noel's upcoming stadium comeback shows this summer.
One fan messaged him on X after his admission: "@liamgallagher If you need that many throat stuff does that mean anytime your voice can still go? We don't want cancellations."
Liam replied: "Shut up you melt."
Another user asked the singer: "@liamgallagher Did you eat all your sour throat candies yesterday?" – to which Liam responded: "@adele_liam I did 2 pacs."
The Oasis reunion marks the first time the band have performed together since 2009, when they split after a backstage altercation between the siblings at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events of the decade.
Rehearsals kicked off in London, with Liam joining his bandmates — including his brother Noel, 58 — for rehearsals this week.

Irish TikToker goes on epic quest to find classic drink from 2010s
An Irish TikToker has embarked on an epic quest to determine if anywhere in the country still serves a classic drink from the 2010s. Being sold in the good old days in promos such as two for a tenner, the staple that was Zaconey and Coke was a bestseller in pubs and clubs around the country — becoming a particularly popular beverage of choice for the college students, before being unceremoniously discontinued in 2016. While bottles of the 'God's nectar' were knocking about until 2019, there are, unfortunately, only a finite number of bottles left; with TikToker Liam Mackessy going on a quest to try and find a bottle of the brown stuff. @liammackessy I feel we are closer to getting Zaconey back on the market but in case we don't succeed, Linnane's bar in Tralee is the place to be! Sinead, you are and will always be a legend for this! #zaconey #zaconeyandcoke #bringbackzaconey #irelandtiktok #blastfromthepast #ireland ♬ original sound – Liam Mackessy After being inundated with comments saying that people have a 'tiny drop' left that they want to save for a special occasion, Liam didn't stop there, saying that he was looking for a proper bottle/to see if there were any pubs, anywhere in the country, that still served it (and again, we cannot stress, this was discontinued over half a decade ago). However, he struck gold (and Coke) when he found out that Hennessy's Bar in Tralee bought a number of the bottles before they were discontinued, and are serving the drinks, as well as Linnane's Bar — with a follower whose partner worked there bringing up a bottle of the good stuff to Liam, where he and his husband enjoyed a Zaconey and Coke over a decade later. 'We used to drink this all the time when we lived in Galway back in 2014, 2015,' Liam said. 'Let's do a little taste test and see if it brings back all those memories from that time.' Zaconey and Coke was a staple of the college town drink in the mid-2010s, with the drink being discontinued. However, some people are still looking for the finite bottles. Pic: Riley's Dundalk/Instagram The taste brought back the memories for Liam, who immediately said: 'I didn't realise how much I missed Zaconey until now.' While the drink has been discontinued, some people have shared that they have managed to keep their bottles over the years — with one person on the Ireland subreddit sharing an unopened bottle of Zaconey and writing 'Could this be the last one in Ireland?' '2 Zaconey and Coke for €10 (I think) in Workman's Dublin,' one person reminisced. 'Peak college years!' The drink has been discontinued with a few bottles still knocking about — and even a few pubs still serve them. Pic: Zaconey/Facebook 'Man, we really were living in the good days,' another wrote. 'Nowadays they'd call it a cocktail and you'd be paying €15 for a watered-down one,' while another added 'Zaconey and Pepsi in Electric Galway. What a time to be alive gods nectar.'

Picture This frontman can't wait to see Oasis live as the Irish band hit the road
Back with a new EP and set to tour Ireland, Picture This star Ryan Hennessy is also bracing himself for the Oasis live experience. He was too young to see his idols the first time around, so Picture This star Ryan Hennessy is bracing himself for the experience of his life when Oasis come to town in August. Back with a new EP and set to tour Ireland, the Picture This frontman tells Magazine+ that he understands his own band's appeal to fans because he's a 'superfan' himself. 'For us it's always just naturally been about the fans, I think because we're such big fans of music ourselves,' Ryan says. 'I love being a fan of things, I'm a huge Man United fan, I'm a huge Oasis fan, I'm super passionate about Leonard Cohen… people like that get me so excited.' Ryan, Jimmy, Owen and Cliff are releasing a new EP News in 90 Seconds - 6th June 2025 'I'm a super fan and I don't find it embarrassing. 'I'm sorted for a ticket for Oasis in Croke Park and it will be a huge moment for me because I've never seen them live. I was just too young to catch them and they mean everything to me and have meant everything to me since I can remember, and have informed so much of my life. 'It's going to be a crazy moment for me to see them on stage. I don't know how I'm going to feel, actually, seeing them. I've seen Liam and Noel separately playing their solo stuff and that alone is just so amazing to see. But the two of them standing on stage together is going to be an incredible moment.' Picture This lead singer Ryan Hennessy on stage at Belsonic I've been interviewing Picture This since the start of their career and have seen them navigate the often shark-infested waters of the music business… and live to tell the tale. Nearly 10 years down the line, frontman Hennessy, Jimmy Rainsford (drums), Owen Cardiff (guitar) and Cliff Dean (bass) are enjoying the self-assurance that comes with experience. 'We're leading an extraordinary life, but we're ordinary people and I used to be afraid of saying that. I think it was maybe an ego thing,' Ryan says. 'I didn't want people to think I was ordinary. I wanted people to think I was extraordinary, but the older I get and the more mature I get I realise that I'm just as ordinary as anybody else. 'I'm just very lucky that I lead an extraordinary life and very, very grateful that that's the case. But I like being grounded and on earth with the boys and not being away with the fairies.' Rainsford acknowledges how their wealth of experience has shaped the band. 'It's true that we're very experienced now, we know what we're doing, we have great trust in our team and our fans and we've never been happier creating music than we are today,' Jimmy says. Picture This 'We're always trying to up the stakes a little bit because that's what the fans expect. That's what I would expect from my favourite band anyway. 'I want to be challenged as a fan. I want to be told what to listen to and like and I want to be inspired.' Picture This have weathered many a storm throughout their career. 'Oh we have!' Jimmy says. 'We've had some big storms, the biggest one being the coronavirus. It was just a terrible time and our career was hanging in the balance. 'But in a way I feel kind of thankful for that happening because it really made us stop and realise what we have and how lucky we are. I probably subconsciously still think about that. 'To weather those storms and come back stronger was really important because this is all we do. We don't have any other hobbies.' Picture This will play all over Ireland this summer, coming to a town and city near you. 'It's that old-school approach,' Ryan says. 'We're from Kildare so we know how it feels to forgotten about or overlooked or passed through while people are on the way to Dublin. 'So instead of people travelling to see us, we're coming to see them in their home area.' Releasing today, their new EP, Let The Light In, which includes Let's Try Love and A Thousand Times, is a set of stripped down songs with their unique storytelling. 'It was just the four of us hanging out and playing songs together and they just ended up coming out in that more acoustic stripped style,' Jimmy reveals. 'There are no bells and whistles… just pure storytelling and pure heart and pure craic between four friends.' THE LOWDOWN: Picture This released their new EP, Let The Light In on Friday.
