This year marks 25 years since Oasis’ two iconic record breaking live concerts at Knebworth
Park in Hertfordshire on the 10th and 11th August 1996. The shows were both the pinnacle of
the band’s success and a landmark gathering for a generation of young people.
Released alongside the cinema debut of the feature length documentary film of the event,
‘Oasis Knebworth 1996’ is the definitive live recording featuring a setlist packed with stone
cold classics album taken from across both nights of the concert, from the opening salvoes
of ‘Columbia’ and ‘Acquiesce’, to ‘Champagne Supernova’, ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’, ‘Live
Forever’, an orchestra backed ‘I Am The Walrus’, and ‘Wonderwall’ the first song from the
1990’s to reach over one billion streams on Spotify and universally loved anthem.
The DVD and Blu-ray formats feature ‘Oasis Knebworth 1996’ - the eagerly anticipated
feature length documentary telling the story of the special relationship between Oasis and
their fans that made the largest concert of the ‘90’s possible, directed by Grammy Awardwinner Jake Scott. It is told entirely in the moment through the eyes of the fans who were
there, built around extensive and never before seen archive concert and backstage footage
from the event, with additional interviews with the band and concert organisers. Both
formats also include the full concerts from both nights edited by Dick Carruthers with audio
mixed by Will Shapland in Dolby 5.1 surround sound.
