Supersonic Siblings: Oasis Brothers Feature In Wembley Park Photo Exhibition
Noel and Liam Gallagher of British rock band Oasis on Portland St, Manchester, 2 August 1994. Kevin Cummins / Iconic Images Wembley Park is hosting a free outdoor photography exhibition of images taken by celebrated NME photographer Kevin Cummins of Liam and Noel Gallagher in 1994. The exhibition coincides with the Oasis Live '25 reunion tour. As Oasis fans pack stadiums for the much anticipated music reunion of the decade, Wembley Park has unveiled a free outdoor photography exhibition, featuring photographs by Kevin Cummins that capture the brotherly bond and raw talent that defined the early days of Liam and Noel Gallagher. Titled Brothers: Liam and Noel Through the Lens of Kevin Cummins , the open-air exhibition features over twenty large-scale portraits taken in 1994 by Cummins. Installed throughout Wembley Park–including along Olympic Way and outside Wembley Stadium–the exhibition provides a rare glimpse into the early relationship between the famously combative siblings who powered Oasis to global stardom. This isn't just another collection of rock 'n' roll photographs. It's a visual love letter to a band, a moment, and a brotherhood that helped shape British pop culture. Brothers is timed to coincide with Oasis's reunion tour–an event that's already turned Wembley into a pilgrimage site for a new generation of Britpop enthusiasts and nostalgic original fans alike. Brothers, Wembley, Oasis Photography Exhibition. Images by Kevin Cummins. Kevin Cummins/ Iconic Images Oasis's seminal album Morning Glory was released in 1995–a year after Cummins' photoshoots with the Gallagher brothers, before their sound went Supersonic. Morning Glory became a soundtrack for Nineties Britain–with Oasis famously locking horns with chart rivals Blur during the height of Britpop–and signalling a new golden age for British music, with Oasis fandom reaching similar giddy heights to Beatle-mania. Three decades since the Cool Britannia phenomenon and Oasis-mania has returned with their sellout tour, making it a perfect moment to revisit Cummins' raw images of Liam and Noel on the cusp of global stardom. I asked Kevin Cummins if he feels his 1994 images of Liam and Noel challenge or reinforce the public perception of their turbulent relationship: 'It wasn't turbulent when I took those photos. The point of them was to reinforce the sibling relationship. The fact that these photos have consistently been used over the past 31 years, proves that worked.' A Tender Take on a Turbulent Bond Most media portrayals of Liam and Noel Gallagher focus on their legendary fallouts and tabloid-worthy feuds. But 'Brothers' shows something very different: a deep emotional connection forged in the chaos of rising fame. Cummins' photos–many on display for the first time–were taken during a pivotal year in Oasis's history: 1994. That was the run-up to the release of their debut album, Definitely Maybe , which would go on to become one of the fastest-selling debut albums in UK chart history. But these images predate the mega stardom. They show the Gallaghers in hotel rooms, tour buses, and backstreets—relaxed, playful, and close. Back in 1994 Liam and Noel were musicians starting to make waves on the Manchester music scene, but their star was still in the ascendant–whereas Cummins was a celebrated NME photographer, known for his images of many high-profile musicians of the era. I asked Cummins how he engaged with the Brothers to capture such natural images of the young siblings pre-global stardom: He explained: 'There are many photo shoots from 1994. It wasn't just one day you know. I was better known than they were at that time and they were aware of the work I'd done with some of their favourite musicians: Joy Division, The Smiths, Sex Pistols especially, so they were good to work with. They did everything I asked of them. We got on well because we liked similar music, supported Man City and we had similar backgrounds.' The photos are spontaneous and unstyled, and there's a palpable sense that Cummins' Mancunian swagger and youthful confidence behind the lens was mirrored by Liam and Noel in front of it. Liam slouches in an Adidas tracksuit; Noel contemplates a guitar in a quiet Amsterdam hotel room. There are shots from backstage, in alleyways, and on public transport, including a memorable snap of the brothers hopping on a No.73 bus in central London. One standout image captures the Gallaghers in matching Manchester City shirts with the word 'Brother' emblazoned across the front—a now-iconic moment in British pop photography. Brothers, Wembley, Oasis Photography Exhibition. Images by Kevin Cummins. Kevin Cummins / Iconic Images An Archive That Helped Shape a Band's Identity Kevin Cummins is no stranger to capturing defining cultural moments. As the former chief photographer for NME , his images chronicled the rise of era-defining bands including Joy Division, The Smiths and New Order. In 1994, Creation Records brought Cummins in not only to document Oasis but to help shape how the band presented themselves to the world. Cummins' work with the Gallaghers culminated in the bestselling photo book Oasis: The Masterplan– published last year–which offered fans a sweeping visual history of the band's breakthrough year. The Brothers exhibition narrows the focus of images from the book, spotlighting the emotional core of the Brothers' story: the complex, tender, and often volatile relationship between Liam and Noel. Brothers showcases images from across the UK and Europe—London, Manchester, Portsmouth, Newport, and Amsterdam. One of the images shows Noel alone in Amsterdam, stranded after a fight on a ferry led to the deportation of the rest of the band. Other highlights include Oasis's first studio session at Sly Street Studios in February 1994, and an unforgettable full-band portrait in a rubbish-strewn alley off Manchester's Back George Street. The exhibition's Curator Claudio Giambrone has a pedigree of curating photographic exhibitions with a music focus–last summer he curated an exhibition of Taylor Swift photos with Getty Images– and he told me that he wanted to curate an Oasis tribute when the Oasis gigs were announced. Giambrone gave me some insight into how the project happened and gives some insight into the collaboration with Cummins: 'I knew Kevin's name through some of his portraits of Nick Cave, who I'm a fan of, but I hadn't really explored his Oasis work until I started working on this exhibition. I reached out to Iconic Images Gallery, who represent a number of photographers with material on the band. My original idea was to curate something about the whole, using images from different photographers. But they suggested I focus on just one, and recommended Kevin. That's when I found out he'd recently published a book of his Oasis work. They got in touch with him, and he kindly agreed to give me access to his archive of over 150 photographs. Once I saw the images, it was clear he was the right choice. There's a level of trust in his work that goes beyond the usual press shots. His photographs feel honest and personal, probably because he's also a personal friend of the brothers and worked with them on and off for 30 years. As I went through them, I moved away from the initial idea for this to be a traditional band retrospective. What really stood out to me from Kevin's material was the dynamic between the brothers. There's affection, tenderness and a strong brotherly bond. I wanted the exhibition to focus on that. Something that would resonate not only with fans of the band, but with anyone who's got a sibling.' Brothers: Liam and Noel Through the Lens of Kevin Cummins © Amanda Rose More Than Nostalgia–A Celebration of Cultural Impact Cummins is clear about the significance of this moment—not just for Oasis fans, but for British culture as a whole. 'When (What's the Story) Morning Glory? came out in 1995, it was the national soundtrack. You heard it in every pub, corner shop, car, and open window. That sort of cultural dominance just doesn't happen anymore,' he reflects. 'Now, we're back in 'Oasis world' again—and it's thrilling. I love that people who lived it the first time are now sharing it with their kids.' It's this sense of generational connection that gives the exhibition its emotional weight. Younger fans–many of whom weren't even born when Definitely Maybe was released–are now descending on Wembley to experience the band's legacy firsthand. Brothers offers a visual bridge between past and present, allowing fans to connect not just with the music, but with the human story behind it. So how does Cummins feel about the enduring significance of his images, and how they helped to shape a narrative of Oasis? 'They're significant because they helped shape the way they were perceived by the public and the media. Many were taken to work out what best suited their image and helped form that too.' Brothers, Wembley, Oasis Photography Exhibition. Images by Kevin Cummins. Kevin Cummins/ Iconic Images Wembley Park's Expanding Cultural Footprint Cummins and Giambrone wanted the exhibition to be free and accessible to all, and given that thousands of fans couldn't get tickets, Brothers is an opportunity to experience some Oasis nostalgia through images of Liam and Noel. Claudio Giambrone explains: 'Oasis first played Wembley Stadium in July 2000, so this year marks exactly 25 years since that show. That felt like the right moment to do something that celebrates what they've meant to music and to their fans. They've also played both Wembley Arena and the Stadium a few more times over the years, so there's a real connection with this place. The fact that the exhibition sits right between the two venues makes it even more meaningful. What I really wanted to do was extend the experience beyond the gig itself. For the fans who were here 25 years ago, but also for younger ones who might not have been around in the 90s as well as the casual visitors, this gives a bit more context. It's a way to understand the relationship between the brothers–not just the arguments or the public spats, but the bond, the humour, the moments of real affection that often get missed. Kevin Cummins' photos really capture that, and his captions, along with a few quotes from Noel, add another layer to it all.' The Brothers exhibition is part of the Wembley Park Art Trail, a growing initiative that's gradually transforming the area into one of London's most dynamic cultural zones. Alongside Cummins' photographs, visitors can explore the now-viral Swiftie Steps (a Taylor Swift tribute), a mural to Lana Del Rey, and the Square of Fame, which includes the handprints of Madonna, George Michael, The Who, and other music legends. Oasis has a strong connection to Wembley Park, and the Brothers exhibition celebrates this connection and the contribution of Oasis to British Music history. The open-air format means the exhibition is fully accessible 24/7. You don't need a ticket. You don't even need to be going to the reunion gigs. You just need to walk down Olympic Way and look up. Brothers: Liam and Noel Through the Lens of Kevin Cummins © Amanda Rose More Than Just Rock 'n' Roll At a time when much of the music industry feels increasingly digital and distant with entire teams of managers, stylists and PR's surrounding bands and manipulating their image, Brothers looks back at a simpler, more analogue and unfiltered era. Two brothers, a camera, and a moment in time. Unfiltered, unguarded, unforgettable. Cummins played a role in shaping the early visual identity of Oasis, in particular the Brother shots where he came up with the masterstroke of photographing Liam and Noel wearing Manchester City football shirts with the logo of Japanese electronics company Brother, a double entendre which confused some people outside the UK. Cummins explains: 'The Brother shots helped take them to another level–especially in other territories–where some people were maybe unaware that Brother was a Japanese electronics company. In the USA I was asked more than once if it because they were a brotherhood. One journalist asked why I'd had Brother printed on the shirts, rather than Liam and Noel. They were also unaware of British sport at the time, so the Manchester City branding passed them by too.' Brothers. Wembley. Oasis photo exhibition. Images by Kevin Cummins. Kevin Cummins / Iconic Images The exhibition stands as both a nostalgic tribute and a contemporary celebration of one of Britain's most influential bands. Whether you're reliving memories or discovering Oasis for the first time, Kevin Cummins' photographs offer something timeless. It's not just about Oasis. It's about family, fame, identity—and how a few photographs can capture the storm before the supernova. Brothers: Liam and Noel Through the Lens of Kevin Cummins is at Wembley Park, London until 30th September, 2025 and is presented in partnership with Iconic Images and the Wembley Park Art Trail.

From Seoul to soul: ‘We Are Forever Young' chronicles the BTS ARMY's global bond
K-pop is enjoying a fresh landslide of interest from the runaway success of 'KPop Demon Hunters' on Netflix, Blackpink's summer tour and, most recently, BTS completing its South Korean mandatory military enlistment, with new music and a tour teased for 2026. Amid these seismic events, documentary filmmaker Grace Lee (' The Grace Lee Project,' 'American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs') and UC San Diego professor and K-pop scholar Patty Ahn couldn't script a better time for their documentary to drop. In ' BTS Army: Forever We Are Young,' which opens Wednesday, July 30, in theaters, the Korean American directors spent three years meeting with and learning about the group's fiercely dedicated global fan base known as ARMY, an acronym for Adorable Representative M.C. of Youth. There are many documentaries floating around about the elite seven-member Korean boy band, but 'Forever We Are Young' is the first one devoted just to ARMY. The duo traveled the world to understand how BTS — rappers, singers and dancers RM, Jin, Jimin, Suga, J-Hope, V and Jungkook — have affected the lives of this intergenerational collective, and how ARMY manifested that inspiration to spread the BTS gospel, advance social causes and love themselves. 'Forever We Are Young' captures fans' intimate thoughts, many confessing how BTS' music and message helped them overcome hardships and find connection and community. With Ahn and Lee being self-proclaimed ARMY, their familiarity with and understanding of BTS and the attendant cultural minutiae comes through and allows their subjects to feel comfortable opening up to them. And there's a strong diversity of voices represented. The film introduces viewers to YouTube content creator Nico, who related his story about how BTS' ballad 'Epiphany' helped him reexamine his life and reconcile feelings of loss and trauma due to Hurricane Katrina. Len, a nonbinary dancer in Mexico City, spoke about how BTS' youngest member Jungkook inspired her to express her masculine side. And there's Jackie, an older small-town ARMY flying BTS' purple colors in a deep-red state. She credited the band with helping her deal with severe depression. 'I found myself becoming happy and alive again,' Jackie said. 'I truly believe God used BTS to save my life.' The documentary focuses on DIY organizational tactics fans use to influence airplay, awards show voting and chart positions. They also mobilize for social media campaigns that the group supports. When BTS and their management company donated a million dollars to Black Lives Matter in 2020, ARMY quickly matched that amount. That said, fandom is not all finger hearts. The filmmakers acknowledge pain points when someone's favorite underdog group suddenly becomes popular and how fan behavior can turn toxic when old and new opinions mix. There's lots of footage from key moments in the group's evolution, from the 2013 debut days begging passersby to attend their 200-seat showcase to the massive 2022 post-pandemic concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood (Los Angeles County). Despite the constant onscreen presence of BTS, there's no face-to-face interview between directors Lee and Ahn with BTS. If the film has a shortcoming, it's the absence of bespoke commentary from the band about ARMY.
