RE-LIVE THE HISTORIC CONCERTS of OASIS KNEBWORTH 1996 – WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DIGITAL PURCHASE AND RENTAL APRIL 26TH, 2022. Here’s some information about it.
SYNOPSIS – Directed by Grammy Award-nominee Jake Scott, ‘Oasis Knebworth 1996’ celebrates the story of the special relationship between Oasis and their fans that made the largest concert of the ‘90’s possible. It is a story told entirely in the moment through the eyes of the fans who were there, built around extensive and never before seen archive concert and backstage footage from the event, with additional interviews with the band and concert organizers.
Oasis’ two record breaking nights at Knebworth took place on the 10th and 11th August 1996, with over a quarter of a million young music fans from all over the world converging on Knebworth Park, Hertfordshire.
The monumental shows were set against a backdrop of the UK slowly recovering from a decade of recession. A cultural resurgence in arts and culture was giving rise to ‘Cool Britannia’ and, in their meteoric rise to becoming one of the biggest bands in the world, Oasis embodied that newfound optimism and swagger. Featuring a setlist packed with classics, from the opening salvo of ‘Columbia’ and ‘Acquiesce’, to ‘Champagne Supernova’, ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger,’ ‘Live Forever’, a triumphant, orchestra backed ‘I Am The Walrus’, and the chart-topping hit, ‘Wonderwall,’ the Knebworth concerts were both the pinnacle of the band’s success and the landmark gathering for a generation.
This sounds like an interesting way to portray this historic concert. I would be interesting in seeing and hearing it.
