Oasis unveil Live 25 Tour merchandise with homage to iconic Knebworth gigs
Amazon has dropped an exclusive Oasis merchandise collection. Ahead of the eagerly awaited 'Oasis Live '25 Tour' - which kicks off in Cardiff on July 4 - the major online retailer has announced a series of designs spanning the Britpop legends' 30-year history.
The first drop is 'Knebworth 1996' t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts and jumpers; emblazoned with the Oasis logo on the crest sitting atop the bold Union Jack tricolour.
The design is a tribute to the band's era-defining shows at the Hertfordshire park in 1996, which saw the 'Supersonic' group play to 250,000 fans over two evenings.
Over the next six months Amazon will drop further designs, including odes to Oasis' 2006 North American Tour and the Wembley concerts from 1997's 'All Around The World' tour, plus classic album artwork merchandise for 'Be Here Now' and 'Heathen Chemistry'.
Laura Lukanz, Head of Music Industry, UK, Australia and New Zealand at Amazon Music, said: 'Ahead of the seismic return of Oasis this summer, we're excited to bring this exclusive range of merch to the fans. Throwing back to some of their most iconic gigs and albums, from Knebworth '96 to Heathen Chemistry, these designs capture moments in Oasis history and are an essential for those going to the shows this summer, or for fans looking to celebrate this monumental moment. And we're just getting started – stay tuned for more exclusive drops to follow!'
Oasis merchandise is available globally on Amazon now.
Oasis will first take to the stage this summer for two performances at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
The UK and Ireland tour will also visit Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September.
After tickets for the UK and Ireland shows went on sale last year, there was outrage as some standard tickets appeared to have jumped from £148 to £355.
The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge that they would look at the use of dynamic pricing.
The band is also travelling to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America and a movie, produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, is being made in conjunction with the reunion tour.
Oasis, who signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, soared to fame after they released their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994.
They had hits with songs including Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall, Supersonic and Live Forever.
Noel quit the rock group in August 2009 saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer'.

Oasis star Noel Gallagher's Bentley goes on sale for £1.2 million
Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher's red 1997 Bentley Turbo R has gone on sale priced at £1.2 million. The four-door saloon car listed on Auto Trader was previously owned by the 58-year-old, despite the fact he cannot drive, once telling Zoe Ball on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show that he gave up learning after being mobbed by children when he was told to park close to a school for a lesson. Speaking about the sale, Erin Baker, editorial director at Auto Trader, said: 'Cars listed by music legends don't come around very often, and Noel Gallagher's Bentley Turbo R is certainly one for the Auto Trader history books. 'With over 80 million visits to Auto Trader every month, we expect this rock 'n' roll ride to strike a chord with music lovers and car collectors alike.' The car also has the number plate 'OASI6 2', in reference to his Britpop band, who will reunite to play a run of gigs this year in the UK and Ireland, featuring stops at Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, and Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium, throughout July, August and September. Despite not being able to drive, Gallagher was ordered to pay a court £1,000 and was handed six penalty points in April 2023, for failing to tell police who was driving his Range Rover, when it was clocked speeding at 41mph on a 30mph stretch of the A40 in Edgware Road, West London. Speaking about his driving lesson in the 1990s, Gallagher told Ball in 2023: 'I have had one driving lesson in the 90s and I was driving round a housing estate in Slough and she (the instructor) said to me, 'if you just indicate and pull over here' then I pulled over. 'She got out the car she said, 'I'll be back in a minute', she came out with her mum, she drove me to her house. 'Then the local comprehensive bell went and they all came out. 'This is at the height of Oasis-mania and I was like, 'never, never again'.' Gallagher began his career in the 1990s with Oasis, who he formed alongside his brother singer Liam Gallagher. The band has gone on to have eight UK number one singles and eight UK number one albums, and is best known for songs such as Wonderwall, Rock 'N' Roll Star and Live Forever. The guitarist formed the High Flying Birds after Oasis's initial break-up in 2009, who have gone on to have four UK number one albums.

Drive Noel Gallagher's Bentley! Oasis star's iconic noughties motor goes on sale for huge seven-figure sum
Oasis star Noel Gallagher 's former 'pride and joy' retro Bentley Turbo R has hit the market for £1.2million. The 1997 model, which packs a punch with its 6.8L engine, was one of Gallagher's many cars which he could famously never drive after quitting his lessons while being mobbed by fans. Instead the legendary songwriter opted to be chauffeured around, with the deep red saloon just one of his many luxury motors. Its doors open to a cream leather seated interior, complemented by wood trim which allows prospective buyers into 'a slice of British rock and roll history'. Described as being in 'excellent condition' and 'surprisingly reliable', the five-door saloon is also kitted out with a registration plate which reads 'OA6I6 2' in a nod to the upcoming reunion. It has clocked 100,000 miles in its 28-year life, having been registered on March 25, 1997, and the accompanying logbook proves that it was once owned by Gallagher and five others. The car can hit top speeds of 150mph, though having been 'rarely driven', it may take an extra bit of greasing to get there. Erin Baker, Editorial Director at Auto Trader said: 'Cars listed by music legends don't come around very often, and Noel Gallagher's Bentley Turbo R is certainly one for the Auto Trader history books.' The deep red saloon was one of Gallagher's many cars which he could famously never drive after quitting his lessons while being mobbed by fans in the 1990s Gallagher previously told how his driving instructor caused a group of fans to mob him in the 1990s, meaning the Bentley and other 'expensive mistakes' like his 1967 Jaguar Mark II spent most of their time gathering dust. He told BBC Radio in 2023: 'I was driving round a housing estate in Slough and [the driving instructor] said to me, "pull in here". 'I pulled over and she got out of the car. 'She said "I'll be back in a minute" and came out with her mum. She'd driven me to her house and her mum was taking a picture of me in the street.' Things quickly descended and further chaos ensued for Gallagher when a local school bell rang and floods of pupils ran towards him. He said: 'I'm in a red Nissan Micra with a massive great big triangle on the top of it with an L, with all these kids coming out. 'This is at the height of Oasis mania. I was like, "never, never again am I getting in a car".' Though Gallagher doesn't have a license, he still splurges on luxury cars today - though he did brand his purchase of a vintage Jaguar as his 'most expensive mistake'. He previously said: 'I thought when I became a fully-blown rock star, I was gonna need a car. So I got a Jaguar Mark II from 1967, the year I was born. 'But they take about 18 months to two years to build, so I thought I'll easily have learned to drive in two years. 'This low-loader pulled up outside the house with this car on the back. I was putting the kettle on, thinking, 'f***ing lovely car, that. I'm gonna get one of those, one day'. 'And the guy knocked on the door and said 'Mr Gallagher? Your car!' I'd forgotten that I'd bought the car.' The convertible was said to have only covered nine miles in five years. In recent years, the rockstar was even hit with a six-month driving ban after his chauffeur-driven Range Rover racked up a number of speeding tickets. He appeared at Lavender Hill Magistrates Court in June 2023 and was ordered to pay more than £1000 for not naming who the driver was.
