About this episode
On August 10th in music history, one significant event took place in 1996 when Oasis, the iconic British rock band, played their historic concert at Knebworth Park in Hertfordshire, England. This massive outdoor event attracted an astonishing 250,000 fans over two days, cementing Oasis's status as one of the biggest and most influential bands of the 1990s.

The Knebworth concerts were the pinnacle of Oasis's popularity, coming just two years after the release of their debut album, "Definitely Maybe," and a year after their second album, "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" which propelled them to international stardom. The band, led by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, had already achieved phenomenal success in the UK, but the Knebworth shows took their fame to new heights.

The demand for tickets was unprecedented, with over 2.6 million people applying for the 250,000 available tickets. Fans from all over the world traveled to Knebworth to witness the band's electrifying performances. Oasis played a setlist packed with their greatest hits, including "Wonderwall," "Don't Look Back in Anger," "Champagne Supernova," and "Live Forever," creating an unforgettable singalong experience for the massive crowd.

The Knebworth concerts also featured a stellar lineup of supporting acts, including The Charlatans, Kula Shaker, Manic Street Preachers, and The Prodigy. The event was a celebration of the thriving British music scene of the 1990s, which was dominated by Britpop bands like Oasis, Blur, and Pulp.

The scale and impact of the Knebworth concerts were captured in the 2021 documentary film "Oasis Knebworth 1996," which features never-before-seen footage, interviews with the band members, and stories from fans who attended the historic shows. The film offers a nostalgic look back at a defining moment in British music history and the cultural phenomenon that was Oasis.

The legacy of Oasis's Knebworth concerts endures to this day, with many considering it one of the greatest live performances in rock history. It remains a testament to the band's incredible popularity and their ability to connect with fans through their powerful, anthemic songs. August 10th, 1996, will forever be remembered as the day Oasis solidified their place in music history, delivering an unforgettable experience to a quarter of a million adoring fans.
