Oasis

It’s difficult not to compare current-day line-ups to the older days at a festival like this one.

"The difference between me and Noel is that I do a series of interviews to promote an album, whereas he does an album to promote a series of interviews."

Mantra Of The Cosmos' first single is a little bit of Stone Roses meets trip-hop, with a psychedelic music video to match the strange yet addictive vibe.

Could an Oasis reunion ever really work? Why don’t we picture what it could look like?

“The 1975, Best Rock Band? Someone needs to re-define that immediately, because that is… I don’t know what that is, but it’s certainly not f***ing rock.”

"He’s being a little bit disingenuous.”

What do you think of The Lost Tapes Vol. 1?

"Here's how I see it the little fella aka potato has done a lot of damage to Oasis as a band..."

"I went off the rails a bit when it happened, because it was the thing that glued my life together.”

Festival founder Ken West has shared various chapters from a yet-to-be-finished book on Big Day Out via a new website celebrating the iconic event’s 30th anniversary. In ‘Controlled Kaos’ (working title), West will take a deep dive into the festival’s history and more. Below you can read a section from chapter 27, which discusses what happened behind the scenes when Oasis cancelled a huge Aussie tour in '97.

That's the story.
