The Gallagher brothers, shown here onstage in 2009, are getting back together for a string of shows next year.
Culture critics Rich Pelley, Maura Johnston and Oasis cover band member Alex Spears unpack everything we know so far about the reunion that most fans believed could never happen.CBC Arts Almost 15 years to the day since Oasis broke up, Noel and Liam Gallagher are getting the band back together.
So what was it that finally persuaded the "marding" brothers to squash their quarrels? Was it Matty Healey ? Is it because Taylor Swift currently holds the record for most sold out shows at Wembley? Or, is it all a decades-long PR stunt, intended to keep the "Brit-pop" duo relevant far past their expiration date?culture critics Rich Pelley, Maura Johnston and Oasis cover band member Alex Spears join Elamin to unpack everything we know so far about the reunion that most fans believed could never happen.
I mean, this is a band that belongs to people in a way very few bands belong to people. That's one of the last shows they ever played. You get the sense that the audience is just there, ready to do anything for them. How massive were Oasis at their peak, would you say, Rich?They were massive. They appealed to everybody. That's the whole thing. The big stats is when they played Knebworth in 1996, which is a big open, outdoor venue that they historically used for gigs.
But they were huge, and I think one of the reasons they reformed is that Noel Gallagher has always said he didn't want to tarnish the relationship people had to Oasis — so for people who knew them the first time, why go and see a couple of middle aged men do not quite as good job as before? But Oasis have transcended the generations. Generation Z are now massively into Oasis, as much as generation X were when they came out.
