We spent the whole year complaining about the silence and wondering when we’d finally get some news… and now suddenly it feels like we’re about to be hit with everything at once. 😭❤️😍

We already have the teaser, next are the trailer, Live ’27 dates (based on media rumors and increasing hype, I can safely say that things are getting ready to be announced), then the documentary, a live album… and who knows what else is coming!!

From nothing happening to an entire Oasis overload. Three summers in a row! What a time to be a fan! 😍😍

Before anyone calls me petulant and unreasonable, yes, I am fully aware we waited 15 years for the reunion and I am fully aware that one year of relative silence should therefore be a walk in the park.

But after the excitement, speculation, announcements and sheer euphoria of the last two years, this period of absolutely nothing happening feels surprisingly frustrating.

As someone from outside the US, I’ve always found it fascinating that Oasis are basically second only to The Beatles in terms of cultural impact in the UK, yet they never became as massive in America as bands like U2 or Coldplay or maybe even Radiohead and Arctic Monkeys too? (Not sure about the last two though, as again I’m not American).

I know Oasis were still big and definitely had success in the US, but not on that stadium-dominating level those bands reached there long-term and I often wonder why.

Do you think it was:

The Gallagher attitude/personality? Timing and the American music landscape in the 90s? The heavy British identity/humor not translating? Less touring/promotion in the US?

Or simply that their sound resonated more deeply with UK culture than American culture? (It’s mainly this last point that I wonder about and if so, what’s about their sound that didn’t resonate as much as those other bands in the US).

Curious to hear people’s opinions because it’s something I’ve genuinely wondered about for years.
