Guess what? Liam Gallagher is hitting the road for a tour to commemorate the three-decade anniversary of Oasis’s inaugural album, ‘Definitely Maybe’. Can you believe it’s been that long? This will be the first time he’ll perform the iconic album in its entirety, and he’ll be making stops all over the UK in 2024.
‘Definitely Maybe’, which came out in August 1994, was packed with Oasis classics like ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Star’, ‘Live Forever’, ‘Supersonic’, and ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’. These tunes didn’t just define Oasis but also played a significant role in shaping an era of Britpop and catapulting Liam and his brother Noel Gallagher into the limelight.
Remember, though, that Oasis split up in a rather bitter fashion back in 2009. Since then, there’s been no love lost between the brothers Gallagher. Fans have been dreaming about a reunion for years, but it’s never panned out. But hey, don’t despair! The ‘Definitely Maybe 30 Years’ tour will offer us a rare chance to hear Liam belt out tracks that have scarcely been performed since their mid-’90s heyday, including gems like ‘Up In The Sky’ and ‘Digsy’s Dinner’.
Liam himself is thrilled about this tour. He said: “I’m bouncing around the house to announce the Definitely Maybe tour. The most important album of the ’90s, bar none. I wouldn’t be anywhere without it and neither would you, so let’s celebrate together.” And celebrate we shall!
But wait, there’s more! According to his representatives, Liam may also perform other crowd favourites from that era, including ‘Whatever’, along with some deeper cuts like ‘Fade Away’, ‘Listen Up’, and ‘Sad Song’.
The tour will comprise 12 dates in June 2024, featuring three gigs at Manchester’s 23,500-capacity Co-Op Live, soon to be the country’s largest indoor arena, as well as three shows at The O2 in London. So mark your calendars and set your alarms because tickets go on sale at 9am on 20th October.
Since his Oasis days, Liam has notched up five UK number one studio and live albums as a solo artist, and even returned to Knebworth – the site of Oasis’s most legendary gigs – for his own performances in 2022.
