Oasis have officially entered their Supreme era – and they want you to get in line. Literally.
Ahead of the band’s monstrous ‘Live 25’ reunion tour kicking off in Cardiff next week, Oasis have launched a series of exclusive merch pop-up stores across the UK and Ireland. And if the first few hours in Manchester are anything to go by, you’ll want to book a slot before you’re stuck queuing behind a thousand people in bucket hats quoting Definitely Maybe.
The first of the stores – set up in The Avenue at Spinningfields – is already open and drawing heavy foot traffic, offering limited edition t-shirts, hoodies, coach jackets, hats, and even special tour vinyl prints. Further stores will land in Cardiff, London, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Dublin in the coming weeks.
“Get gig-ready at one of the Oasis Live ‘25 Official pop ups!” the band posted online. “A limited number of walk-ins will be available, but to avoid disappointment book your visit.”
Translation: if you don’t want to be standing outside next to some bloke shouting the lyrics to “Slide Away” for two hours, grab a booking now.
The merch itself is exactly what you’d expect too. Full Britpop nostalgia, designed to separate you from your wallet in the most stylish way possible. The line-up includes graphics ripped straight from the band’s golden years: Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory, ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Supersonic’ – all there, printed across premium cotton and riding the Adidas Originals co-sign all the way into the 2025 fashion calendar.
Here’s where the stores are popping up:
- Manchester – Open now
- Cardiff – June 26
- London & Birmingham – July 8
- Edinburgh & Dublin – August 4
There’s also tour-exclusive Adidas gear, first teased in that gloriously over-the-top ‘Live Forever’ ad featuring Liam and Noel in full retro tracksuit mode. Some fans didn’t love it. Liam’s response? “Oasis don’t discriminate… now get involved and stop crying your heart out.”
I’d say that’s pretty solid advice.
