English Rock band Oasis have announced the reissue of their fourth studio album ‘Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants’ to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
The brand new issue is set to be released later this month on Friday February 28, the same date the original album was released back in 2000. The album will be available on a limited-edition vinyl in a silver LP, and on official store-exclusive blue and purple marble LP.
The album reissue will mark the band’s first release since 2008 with their last album ‘Dig Out Your Soul’.
‘Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants’ was released during a pivotal time for the brothers as it was their first release under their own label Big Brother Recordings LTD. The label was launched in 2000 after the sudden closure of Oasis’ label Creation Records.
To celebrate the re-release as well as the anniversary of the album’s first single ‘Go Let It Out’ on February 7, the Mancunian band surprised their fans with a brand new lyric video for the occasion.
The album was a huge step for Oasis as it was their first experimentation with more modern-psychedelic rock-influenced sound, something new for the piece.
The band’s work reached No.1 in the UK Album Chart, selling over 310,000 copies in just its first week out. It has now been certified double platinum whilst having sold over 200,000 copies in the US. The LP will also feature some of the group’s most iconic songs such as ‘F***in’ In The Bushes’, ‘Where Did It All Go Wrong?’ and ‘Gas Panic’.
Meanwhile, the Gallaghers are getting ready to go back on tour with Oasis Live ’25, giving millions of fans what they have been eagerly waiting for since 2009. Indeed, the band was the UK’s most searched for artist in 2024 after announcing they had buried the hatchet and would reunite the band to hit the road in 2025.
Their tour will include seven sold-out shows at London’s Wembley Stadium, five homecoming shows at Manchester’s Heaton Park, and will include dates in Ireland, Australia, Japan, North Korea, North America and South America.
The countdown is set on the famous band’s website to show how many days are left before they make history again.
