25 Years Since the Legendary Knebworth Concert, Which Drew Over 250,000 People Over Two Days
Formed in 1991, Oasis was a rock band from Manchester, UK, centered around the Gallagher brothers: Noel, the elder, responsible for guitar and main songwriting, and Liam, the younger, on vocals. Until their hiatus in 2009, they produced numerous hit songs such as "Don't Look Back In Anger" and "Live Forever." Now, BE@RBRICKs commemorating their legendary outdoor concert held on August 10th and 11th, 1996, in Knebworth, Hertfordshire, which attracted over 250,000 fans, are set to be released.
The Oasis Knebworth concert shattered all British entertainment records and is remembered as the most iconic live event of the past 25 years. Hailing from working-class backgrounds in Manchester's council estates, their debut album "Definitely Maybe" topped the UK charts in 1994. The following year, their second album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" solidified their popularity, offering hope to countless young people. Indeed, the Oasis Knebworth concert also coincided with Britain's gradual recovery from a decade of recession and the emergence of the term "Cool Britannia," signifying a resurgence in arts and culture.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Oasis's formation and the 25th anniversary of the Knebworth performances, with the release of the documentary film "Oasis: Knebworth 1996," executive produced by the Gallagher brothers. Fans who experienced the era, as well as newer fans who have recently discovered Oasis, have surely been eagerly awaiting the arrival of official merchandise capturing the band at the peak of their career. Given the Gallagher brothers' history of frequent band departures due to their famously turbulent relationship, it is hoped that those who acquire these BE@RBRICKs will proudly display both Noel and Liam figures side-by-side in harmony.
