Oasis shared a release date for their much-anticipated documentary ‘Oasis Knebworth 1996′. The film that shows the band’s performance from 1996 at the Knebworth Festival has been announced back in May. It marks the 25th anniversary of that legendary show, where Oasis performed for an audience of 250,000 fans. The show “set the record for largest demand for attendance in British history as over two percent of the population applied for tickets, and tickets sold out within 24 hours“.
In a statement, Liam called the concert “the Woodstock of the 90’s. It was all about the music and the people. I can’t remember much about it, but I’ll never forget it. It was Biblical“. Noel added: “I can’t believe we never played ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Star!’“.
The movie, directed by Grammy winner Jake Scott, will hit cinemas worldwide on the 23rd of September and will show: “concert & exclusive never before seen footage (…) through the eyes of the fans who were there“.

The film is: “a joyful and at times poignant cinematic celebration of one of the most iconic live concert events of the last 25 years, driven entirely by the music, and the fans’ own experiences of that monumental weekend” explains the press release.
“Oasis Knebworth 1996” has been produced by Black Dog Films, with the Gallagher brothers being executive producers.
Oasis last live show was almost 12 years ago, therefore the new documentary is an amazing treat for the fans and a great legacy of the iconic British rock group.
The documentary is “the story of the special relationship between Oasis and their fans that made the largest concert of the ‘90’s possible. 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.”
Tickets will go on sale on 10th August. You can find your nearest showing and book your ticket here.
