UK”A trip to high street retailer Marks and Spencer, popular with older shoppers, feels like stepping back 30 years, with Oasis T-shirts flying off the shelves.But they’re also on sale at Urban Outfitter, a retailer favoured by teens and young adults. On Instagram and TikTok, young people are filming themselves styled like the band’s brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.

The band’s reunion, 16 years after the brothers’ messy split, has generated huge enthusiasm across the generation gap.

Tickets for the UK and Ireland tour, which kicks off on July 4 in Cardiff, were snapped up at the end of last August.

And Liam and Noel aren’t the only ones making a comeback.

Pulp recently returned to the top of the charts for the first time in 27 years with their new album “More”.

At the band’s concerts, the first notes of most famous hit “Common People” are greeted with the kind of delirium last seen when it was released in 1995.

Suede will release an album in September and Supergrass are touring this summer to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the band’s debut album.

The only band missing is Oasis’s arch-enemies, Blur, but they already sold out Wembley Stadium in July 2023.
