About

Oasis are an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991. The group initially consisted of Liam Gallagher (lead vocals), Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs (guitar), Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan (bass guitar) and Tony McCarroll (drums). Liam asked his older brother Noel Gallagher (lead guitar, vocals) to join as a fifth member a few months later to finalise their formation. Noel became the de facto leader of the group and took over the songwriting duties for the band's first four albums. They are regarded as the most globally successful group of the Britpop era and one of the most influential rock bands of all time.

Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993 and released their record-setting debut album Definitely Maybe (1994), which topped the UK Albums Chart and quickly became the fastest-selling debut album in British history at the time. The following year, they released follow up album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) with new drummer Alan "Whitey" White in the midst of a highly publicised chart rivalry with peers Blur, dubbed by the British media as the "Battle of Britpop". Spending ten weeks at number one on the British charts, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? was also an international chart success and became one of the best-selling albums of all time, the UK's third-best-selling album, and the UK's best-selling album of the 1990s. The Gallagher brothers featured regularly in tabloid newspapers throughout the 1990s for their public disputes and wild lifestyles. In 1996, Oasis performed two nights at Knebworth for an audience of 125,000 each time, the largest outdoor concerts in UK history at the time. In 1997, Oasis released their highly anticipated third album, Be Here Now, which became the fastest-selling album in UK chart history selling 696,000 copies in its first week.

Founding members Arthurs and McGuigan left in 1999 during the recording of the band's fourth album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000). They were replaced by former Heavy Stereo guitarist Gem Archer on guitar and Ride guitarist Andy Bell on bass guitar. White was asked to leave the band in 2003 and replaced by touring member Zak Starkey the following year. Oasis released three more albums in the 2000s: Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don't Believe the Truth (2005) and Dig Out Your Soul (2008) which all reached number one in the UK album charts with the last two releases of their original run being regarded as a return to form for the band. The group abruptly disbanded in 2009 after the sudden departure of Noel Gallagher. The remaining members of the band continued under the name Beady Eye until their disbandment in 2014. Both Gallagher brothers have since had successful solo careers. Oasis reformed in 2024 and concurrently announced the Oasis Live '25 Tour, which they embarked on the following year. The band consists of Liam and Noel Gallagher, Bonehead, Archer and Bell.

As of 2026, Oasis have sold over 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. They are among the most successful acts in the history of the UK singles chart and the UK Albums Chart, with eight UK number-one singles and eight UK number-one albums. The band also achieved three Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)-certified Platinum albums in the US. They won 17 NME Awards, nine Q Awards, four MTV Europe Music Awards, one MTV Japan Music Award, two Ivor Novello Awards for songwriting, three World Music Awards, two UK Music Video Awards and seven Brit Awards, including one in 2007 for Outstanding Contribution to Music, one in 2010 for the Best Album of the Last 30 Years for (What's the Story) Morning Glory? and in 2026, Noel Gallagher received Songwriter of the Year. They were also nominated for three Grammy Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2026.

Oasis est un groupe de rock britannique, originaire de Manchester. Formé en 1991 et initialement nommé The Rain, le groupe est au départ composé de Liam Gallagher (chant), Paul « Bonehead » Arthurs (guitare), Paul « Guigsy » McGuigan (basse) et Tony McCarroll (batterie), rapidement rejoints par Noel Gallagher (guitare solo et chant), le frère aîné de Liam. Il est considéré comme l'un des principaux représentants du genre Britpop, sous-genre du rock alternatif. Oasis est souvent cité comme source d'inspiration par de nombreux groupes, passés comme actuels, comme Coldplay, The Libertines, The Strokes, The Killers, Snow Patrol ou Arctic Monkeys.

Oasis signe avec le label indépendant Creation Records en 1993 et sort son premier album, Definitely Maybe, en 1994. L'année suivante, alors qu'une rivalité naît avec le groupe Blur, Oasis enregistre (What's the Story) Morning Glory? avec Alan White, nouveau batteur du groupe après l'éviction de McCarroll. Ce nouvel album devient l'un des albums les plus vendus de tous les temps avec plus de 22 millions d'exemplaires vendus dans le monde entier et les frères Gallagher apparaissent régulièrement dans les tabloïds pour leurs frasques et leurs disputes fraternelles. En 1996, Oasis se produit deux fois à Knebworth devant un public de 125 000 personnes chaque soir, à l'époque les plus grands concerts en plein air de l'histoire du Royaume-Uni. 2,5 millions de personnes essayent d'acheter des billets, ce qui reste la plus forte demande pour un spectacle dans l'histoire britannique. En 1997, Oasis sort son très attendu troisième album, Be Here Now, qui devient l'album le plus rapidement vendu de l'histoire des charts britanniques, mais qui est rétrospectivement considéré comme décevant.

Arthurs et McGuigan quittent Oasis en 1999. Ils sont remplacés par Gem Archer à la guitare, ancien guitariste du groupe Heavy Stereo, et Andy Bell à la basse, ancien guitariste de Ride. White est évincé du groupe en 2004. Il est remplacé par Zak Starkey et plus tard par Chris Sharrock pour les tournées. Le groupe sort quatre autres albums studio au cours des années 2000, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants en 2000, Heathen Chemistry en 2002, Don't Believe The Truth en 2005 et Dig Out Your Soul en 2008, qui rencontrent un succès critique et commercial modéré comparés aux albums précédents. Le groupe se sépare alors qu'une dispute mène Noel Gallagher à quitter le groupe le 28 août 2009 après une nouvelle altercation dans les coulisses du festival Rock en Seine. Les autres membres du groupe, désormais menés par Liam, continuent sous le nom de Beady Eye, alors que Noel crée un projet solo, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. À la suite de la séparation de Beady Eye en 2014, Liam Gallagher se lance dans une carrière solo, accompagné occasionnellement par Paul Arthurs en tournée, tandis que Bell retourne avec le groupe Ride et Archer et Sharrock deviennent membres de Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

Oasis est l'un des groupes les plus populaires du UK Singles Chart et du UK Albums Chart, avec huit singles et huit albums numéro un au Royaume-Uni. Ils remportent 17 NME Awards, neuf Q Awards, quatre MTV Europe Music Awards et six Brit Awards, dont un en 2007 pour « contribution exceptionnelle à la musique » et un pour le « meilleur album des 30 dernières années » pour (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. Ils sont également nommés pour deux Grammy Awards. (What's the Story) Morning Glory? est le cinquième album le plus vendu au Royaume-Uni et l'album le plus vendu au Royaume-Uni dans les années 1990. En 2022, Oasis a vendu plus de 70 millions de disques dans le monde entier.

Le 27 août 2024, les frères Gallagher annoncent une trêve et la reformation du groupe Oasis pour la tournée Oasis live ’25, débutant en juillet 2025 avec des dates aux Îles Britanniques, en Amérique du Nord et en Australie.
