Oasis Knebworth 1996: ‘We had no fear’

For historic context, the celebration took area just after Euro 96 and on the cusp of New Labour’s election victory. Immediately after “many years of bleakness”, as Noel puts it, Britain – boasting Oasis, Kate Moss, Damien Hirst and Trainspotting- was the moment again awesome. Oasis themselves hadn’t still been paid out in full for their best-marketing second album, he pointed out, and so Knebworth marked the last time they have been at any time remotely close to their adoring admirers once more in terms of life-style and prosperity.
