Oasis, formed ‍in 1991, released‌ its first full-length album ⁢‘Definitely Maybe’ in ‍1994. He led the⁣ revival of Britpop by releasing ‌numerous famous songs such as ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Don’t Look⁤ Back in Anger’, and ‘Live Forever’. All seven full-length albums topped the UK album chart upon release and are selling⁣ more than 90 ‌million copies worldwide.

As ⁢many as 250,000 people flocked to this performance. ​3.5 million people,⁣ or about 4% of the UK population,​ rushed to reserve tickets. The music⁣ documentary ‘Supersonic’, released in 2016,‌ opens and ‍closes with the Knebworth ​Concert. ⁤However, ⁤in ⁤the mid to late 2000s,⁢ the conflict between Noel and Liam became ‍severe and they⁣ eventually split​ up.

Then, on‌ August⁤ 27th, the two brothers announced that they had decided ⁤to get back together, exciting music fans around the world. They ‍will begin a new ‌world tour starting at the‌ Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on July⁣ 4-5 next⁤ year.

The news ​of⁤ Oasis’ resumption ⁣of activities thrilled music fans around the world. Their 1994 debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’,​ newly released as a 30th‍ anniversary edition, topped ⁤the UK album chart. ‘Live Forever’ and ‘Don’t Look⁤ Back in ‌Anger’ reached the ​top ten⁤ of the UK Singles Chart.
Since then, they have been showing great popularity by selling​ out‌ not only the North ‍American schedules ​such‍ as Canada, the United States, and Mexico, the Australian ‌performances, and the ⁢South American schedules such⁢ as‍ Argentina,​ Chile, and Brazil, ‍but also performances⁤ added by region.

Following their first sold-out performance in Korea in 2006, Oasis visited Korea ⁣twice⁢ in 2009 as a solo performance‍ and ‌festival ⁤headliner. They have expressed their‌ special affection ⁢for ⁢Korean⁣ performances and⁢ fans to‌ the extent of‌ specially performing ⁤’Live ⁢Forever’, which was rarely⁤ performed on‌ tour.

Tickets ⁢for ​the performance ‌were sold out in an instant and additional performances were⁤ held, and ​the scale of the performance continued to‌ grow. At the recent performance, teenagers and people in their 20s accounted ⁤for⁣ more⁢ than 70% of the ‌audience, making it a hot topic.

    Dr. Kim: This reunion is likely to have a‌ ripple effect—revitalizing the live music ⁤scene and encouraging more international acts to consider⁤ performing ​in Korea.⁣ It ⁤could also inspire a new wave of Britpop-influenced artists to ⁣emerge from the region,​ whereas for fans, it’s a reminder of the profound impact music⁤ can have across borders and generations. Ultimately, it’s a celebration of not just a band, but​ the community that music creates.
