Oasis, the iconic British band, have announced their return after 15 years apart, causing quite a stir among their fans. As you can see in the video that accompanies this news, Fernando Navarro analyses the decision of the Gallagher brothers to commemorate the 30th anniversary of their album ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?’ with a tour of huge stadium concerts in the United Kingdom. This year marks the 30th anniversary of their debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’. After numerous rumours and offers to headline festivals, the band has opted to return in a big way, coinciding also with the 15th anniversary of their last concert in Paris, where there was no formal farewell to the public.
Oasis’ return comes as a surprise, as the relationship between Noel and Liam Gallagher has been marked by constant conflict and public fights. Considered by many to be the UK’s “modern Beatles”, Oasis symbolise the spirit of the British working class. However, no one knows for sure whether this reunion is a genuine reconciliation or a strategy to capitalise on their musical legacy. What is certain is that their return will be one of the most anticipated events of the year.
