Oasis is back, and if you haven’t heard the news, buckle up because this is huge. After over a decade of split rumors, Oasis announced their long-awaited reunion for 2025, with performances set for the UK and Ireland. If you’re part of Gen Z and only know bits and pieces about this legendary British band, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Before their Oasis Live '25 Tour kicks off, here are 14 things you need to know about Oasis, their iconic history, and why this reunion is such a big deal.

1. Oasis Defined '90s Britpop

Imagine a time when music wasn't just something you streamed—it was a cultural movement. That was the '90s, and Oasis was leading the charge with a swagger that screamed, “We don’t care if you like us!” Oasis was the backbone of Britpop, a genre that clashed with grunge, championing British pride, catchy hooks, and lyrics that hit you right in the feels. Alongside bands like Blur and Pulp, Oasis became the kings of the scene, with their iconic sound shaping what would become the soundtrack of a generation. Their music wasn’t just a vibe, it was an attitude—loud, unapologetic, and full of energy. If you ever want to feel like you’re owning the world, throw on one of their albums, because Oasis practically invented the soundtrack for living life large. With their 2025 reunion, it's time to embrace your inner rockstar and join the Britpop revolution!

2. Their Breakout Hit: "Wonderwall"

Okay, here’s the thing: "Wonderwall" is that song. You’ve heard it at least once, probably at every karaoke night or random party where someone thinks they’re cool for whipping out a guitar. But there’s a reason for it. “Wonderwall” isn’t just a song—it’s a moment. Released in 1995, it became the anthem of misunderstood love and unspoken feelings (basically, all the stuff Gen Z thrives on). The lyrics? Vague enough to relate to anything but deep enough to feel personal. And the chorus? Gets everyone singing, no matter how out of tune. It’s the go-to track for when you’re feeling nostalgic, romantic, or just kinda chill. So, whether you’ve rolled your eyes at it or secretly vibe to it, get ready to scream it at the top of your lungs when Oasis hits the stage in 2025. "You're my wonderwaaaall!" will never sound better.

3. The Gallagher Brothers' Feud

Oasis isn’t just known for their music—they’re infamous for the drama. Enter: Liam and Noel Gallagher, the brothers who could rival any reality TV family feud. These two have been beefing since the band’s early days, and honestly, it’s like watching a rock version of "Keeping Up with the Gallaghers." Onstage, they made magic, but offstage? Think epic blowouts, trash-talking interviews, and enough sibling rivalry to fuel a Netflix series. Their fights were legendary—one even led to the band’s ultimate breakup in 2009. But despite all the chaos, fans have been holding out hope for a reunion. Now that they’re finally back for the Oasis Live '25 Tour, everyone’s wondering—can the brothers keep it cool, or will old habits die hard? Either way, it’s gonna be electric. Drama or not, Oasis knows how to put on a show, and the Gallagher bros bring the fireworks every time.

4. Oasis Was HUGE in the '90s

Picture this: It’s the '90s, and Oasis is everywhere. Seriously, everywhere. They were the band you couldn’t escape—and trust me, you didn’t want to. Their second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, wasn’t just a hit, it was a monster. Selling over 22 million copies worldwide, Oasis became the kings of the charts, the radio, and pretty much everyone’s CD collection. They were the face of youth culture, and their music became the anthem for an entire generation of people who wanted to break free from the norm. Their hits like "Wonderwall" and "Don’t Look Back in Anger" were the songs of the decade. So when we say Oasis was huge, we mean H-U-G-E. And now, in 2025, they're coming back to remind everyone just how epic they were—and still are. Get ready to relive the hype, because Oasis is about to take over again!

5. They Broke Records

If you think waiting in line for a concert ticket is tough, imagine trying to snag tickets to Oasis at the peak of their fame. In 1996, they performed two sold-out shows at Knebworth Park in front of 250,000 fans, and get this—over 2.5 million people applied for tickets. That’s like the whole population of Chicago trying to see a single band. These shows were legendary, marking a pinnacle in rock history. And now, with the Oasis Live '25 Tour on the horizon, the hype is back and stronger than ever. If you’re thinking about going, better move fast because these tickets are going to disappear quicker than you can say "Wonderwall." Will they break more records this time? Probably. One thing’s for sure: Oasis is back, and the world is ready to see them break the internet (and probably Ticketmaster) once again.

6. They've Influenced Modern Bands

If you love bands like Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, or even The 1975, you’ve got Oasis to thank. The swagger, the confidence, the giant, anthemic choruses? That’s pure Oasis DNA. They weren’t just a band that defined their time; they shaped the future of music. Their sound—gritty, loud, and unapologetically British—became the blueprint for countless modern artists. Even if you didn’t grow up with Oasis blaring through the speakers, you’ve felt their influence. That indie rock sound you love today? Oasis was one of the pioneers. And with their 2025 reunion, you’ll get a front-row seat to experience the band that started it all. Whether you’re into alt-rock or indie pop, you’re about to see where so much of today’s music got its swagger from. Oasis isn’t just history—they’re a vibe that keeps echoing.

7. Their Iconic Fashion

You know how every era has that look? Well, the '90s were all about Oasis’s Britpop style. Think oversized parkas, bucket hats, and a whole lot of attitude. They made dressing casual look cool, and their fashion choices became just as iconic as their music. It wasn’t about being fancy; it was about owning your look with confidence. Liam Gallagher, especially, was the king of this laid-back style, rocking tracksuits like they were designer couture. Fast forward to today, and those '90s fashion trends are making a comeback—especially as Gen Z loves retro vibes. So when Oasis hits the stage in 2025, expect to see fans channeling that classic Britpop aesthetic. Parkas? Check. Sunglasses at night? Double check. Bucket hats? You bet. If you want to pay homage to Oasis, it’s time to get your vintage gear on and dress the part. Britpop is back, baby.

8. The Beatles Connection

Oasis has never been shy about their love for The Beatles. In fact, Noel Gallagher famously once said, "We’re bigger than The Beatles," and while that’s debatable, their admiration for the Fab Four runs deep. The Beatles’ influence is all over Oasis’s music, from the melodic structures to the psychedelic vibes on tracks like "Champagne Supernova." Noel even named his son Lennon, after the legendary John Lennon. If you’re a Beatles fan, listening to Oasis will give you major déjà vu in the best way possible. They took what The Beatles did and cranked it up with a gritty, rock ‘n’ roll attitude. With the 2025 reunion, there’s a good chance you’ll see them throw in a Beatles cover or two. Oasis didn’t just look up to The Beatles—they wanted to be them. And now, they’re ready to bring that rock legacy back to life.

9. "Don't Look Back in Anger" Is Another Anthem

Before there was "Wonderwall," there was "Don’t Look Back in Anger." This song is the one that gets stadiums screaming, and let’s be real, it’s impossible not to sing along to the chorus. Released in 1995, this track is all about leaving the past behind and moving forward—which, let’s face it, is some pretty solid life advice. It’s become an anthem for resilience and positivity, and it’s one of Oasis’s most beloved hits. When the band hits the stage in 2025, expect this song to turn the crowd into one giant sing-along. Whether you’re belting it out with your friends or screaming it at the top of your lungs in the shower, "Don’t Look Back in Anger" is the song that brings the good vibes. Trust us, you’ll want to be there for this one. It’s not just a song; it’s a moment.

10. The Band's Breakup Was Messy

Let’s be real: the Oasis breakup was straight-up messy. After years of simmering tension, things finally boiled over in 2009 when Noel Gallagher quit the band following a heated backstage argument with Liam. This wasn’t your typical, "Let’s take a break and figure things out" type of split. No, this was full-on rock ‘n’ roll chaos. Liam and Noel hurled insults at each other for years—on social media, in interviews, and pretty much everywhere else. But after years of will-they-won’t-they rumors, 2025 is finally the year the brothers bury the hatchet (hopefully) and reunite for their Oasis Live '25 Tour. The real question is: can they keep it together, or will old habits resurface? Either way, the drama adds to the hype. We all know when Oasis is on stage, it’s going to be explosive—both musically and personally. Grab your popcorn, because this comeback is going to be wild.

11. Their Music Videos Were Legendary

Oasis wasn’t just a band—they were visual storytellers, too. Their music videos were iconic in their own right, with a style that was equal parts gritty and artistic. Take "Wonderwall," for example—the video’s abstract desert visuals have become just as memorable as the song itself. Then there’s "Champagne Supernova," with its trippy, dream-like sequences that totally scream '90s cool. And who could forget the swagger-filled "Don’t Look Back in Anger" video, where Noel Gallagher casually strums his guitar in a futuristic house? Back in the day, music videos were a big deal, and Oasis mastered the art of creating visuals that matched their larger-than-life sound. If you’ve never watched these classic videos, now’s the time to do a YouTube deep dive before their 2025 tour. Trust us, you’ll get all the nostalgic feels—and probably some new appreciation for the band’s visual vibe.

12. "Champagne Supernova" Was Peak Oasis

Seven minutes of pure, dreamy, rock magic—that’s what "Champagne Supernova" is. Released in 1996, this track is the ultimate example of what makes Oasis special: it’s emotional, atmospheric, and builds to an epic crescendo that leaves you in awe. The lyrics are famously cryptic—what even is a "Champagne Supernova"?—but that’s part of the charm. The song captures the larger-than-life vibe that defined Oasis, making it a fan favorite. Expect this one to be a highlight of their 2025 reunion tour because hearing it live will give you all the feels. Whether you’re daydreaming, headbanging, or just vibing out, "Champagne Supernova" is peak Oasis. And honestly, after all these years, it still hits just as hard. If you’ve never listened to it on full blast with your eyes closed, now’s the time. Let yourself get lost in the music—it’s what Oasis was made for.

13. Liam Went Solo

After the Oasis breakup, Liam Gallagher didn’t fade away—he came back swinging. His solo career has been a hit, with albums like "As You Were" topping the UK charts and reminding everyone that he’s still got it. His solo work keeps the classic Oasis vibe alive, but with a more modern twist. Liam’s got that unmistakable voice and swagger that you just can’t ignore. Even though the world’s been waiting for an Oasis reunion, Liam’s been busy carving out his own path. He’s headlined festivals, sold out arenas, and kept the rock ‘n’ roll dream alive. But let’s be real, no matter how successful his solo career is, fans have always hoped for that Oasis comeback. With 2025 just around the corner, it’s time to see Liam back where he truly belongs—onstage with his brother, making history all over again. It’s about to be legendary.

14. The 2025 Reunion Is the Real Deal
