History

Historical Context

In August 1996 Oasis played two Knebworth shows that drew 125,000 fans per night, setting a UK outdoor-concert record and cementing the band’s stadium-rock dominance after the 1995 “Battle of Britpop” with Blur. The concerts now anchor documentaries and the 2025 Live ’25 tour, illustrating how massive-scale gigs and multimedia releases have become core to legacy management.
