Oasis's debut album, Definitely Maybe, completes 30 years in 2024
Oasis was first formed in 1991 by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher as the frontman and guitarist-songwriter. The duo was accompanied by bassist Andy Bell. The band shot to fame during the late 1990s and quickly became one of the most popular bands in the UK, starting the era of "Britpop."
Their debut album, Definitely Maybe, was released in 1994 and became the fastest-selling ever debut album at the time. 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of their debut album, and the release of a deluxe edition is scheduled for August 30. The new edition is set to include unheard versions of their popular tracks from Monnow Valley Studio near Rockfield and Sawmills Studios in Cornwall. The album was re-recorded in the latter venue.
Oasis's second studio album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, dropped in 1995 and cemented their status as one of the UK's most loved bands. The band currently has 30 million listeners on Spotify.
The Gallagher brothers reportedly had a difficult relationship until 2009, when they split the band after a physical altercation. As per Deadline, Liam Gallagher has been keen on a reunion for a while, but Noel Gallagher only agreed to it recently.
Liam and Noel Gallagher have not performed together since August 2009, but the former recently completed a tour with his band. The singer performed Definitely Maybe during his tour, leading to an overwhelming response from the audience. The singer mentioned he would be open to reuniting the band for free.
However, Noel Gallagher earlier stated that he would be willing to reunite the band in exchange for 100 million pounds.
