History

Historical Context

After Oasis headlined Glastonbury in 2004, the band’s 2009 breakup ended a decade of Britpop dominance that began with the 1995 “Battle of Britpop,” when Blur’s “Country House” sold 274,000 copies to Oasis’s 216,000. Liam’s recent X rant and Noel’s podcast criticism echo that historic rivalry, prompting festival bookers to weigh artist conduct against brand image.
