Oasis: Knebworth 1996 on SBS Viceland and SBS on Demand – Relive Oasis’ monumental 1996 Knebworth Park concerts that drew 250,000 fans.
The landmark concerts sold out in under a day with over 2% of the UK population attempting to buy tickets. This was a time when the UK was slowly recovering from a decade of recession; a surging confidence in arts and culture ushered in Cool Britannia and Oasis meteoric rise and reflected the country’s new-found conviction and swagger.
Featuring a setlist packed from beginning to end with stone cold classics, including Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back In Anger, the Knebworth concerts were both the pinnacle of the band’s success and the landmark gathering for a generation.
Oasis Knebworth 1996 is the story of that weekend and the special relationship between Oasis and their fans that made it possible.
It is told through the eyes of the fans who were there, with additional interviews with the band and concert organisers.
