On the 10th August 1996, Oasis played the then fastest selling ticket in concert history at Knebworth Park, known as the defining weekend in Britpop. Their Knebworth record was held until 2003 when Robbie Williams played THREE nights at the same venue! Tickets went on sale at 9am on Saturday 11 May 1996 - the same day Manchester United beat Liverpool 1-0 in the FA Cup Final.

Coming on stage to an intro of The Swamp Song, Noel Gallagher announced: “We’re all making history tonight. The brothers Gallagher where supported by The Charlatans, Kula Shaker, Manic Street Preachers, The Bootleg Beatles, The Chemical Brothers, Ocean Color Scene and The Prodigy.Meanwhile, the support acts on the Sunday were The Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers, Kula Shaker, Cast and Dreadzone. and support acts on Saturday 10 August were T he Prodigy, Manic Street Preachers, Ocean Colour Scene, The Chemical Brothers and The Bootleg Beatles. Some of the faces backstage were were Kate Moss, Jarvis Cocker and, er, Martine McCutcheon and Mick Hucknall. Bands like Queen and Led Zeppelin had performed to huge crowds at Knebworth in the 70s and 80s… but Oasis held the record for the biggest crowd to that date. Here's a little know fact that I hadn't revealed before today - When I designed the programme for the Oasis Knebworth gigs, I based the tickets on the front cover entirely on the Beatles tickets used at the Hollywood Bowl.

Noel Gallagher said the years after Knebworth were like a “comedown” - “I really suffered,” he admitted to the NME ten years later.

The Charlatans had lost their keyboard player Rob Collins in a car accident three weeks earlier - Martin Duffy from Primal Scream stood in. Oasis announced that they were to play two nights at Knebworth House, Hertfordshire on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 August 1996.

Liam Gallagher takes to the stage at Knebworth this weekend, reliving one of the finest moments of Britpop - when Oasis played two massive nights at the park in August 1996. They broke the record for outdoor concerts and to this day, it remains the largest show in demand in British history.
