In response to fan questions on whether the artist will also be performing any of the album’s b-sides, Gallagher responded with an emphatic yes. He added, ““of course your getting it all (‘Definitely Maybe’) and a few Norty b sides might even roll out (Oasis’ cover of The Beatles‘) ‘I Am The Walrus’ just for crocs n boob tubes.”

With the relationship struggles between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher well documented, Liam has decided to tour Definitely Maybe alone and independently as Noel has unequivocally dashed the idea of a reunion happening any time in the near future. There are however, plans in the works to provide the album with a 30th anniversary reissue with Noel sharing that the record will feature a few lost songs.

Speaking to Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera, Noel said, “In the Sony archives we’ve found tapes dating to those sessions. We thought they were lost, but they were mislabelled. They are wonderful versions of those songs, some acoustic versions.” 

Recorded and released in 1994, Definitely Maybe announced Oasis onto the music scene and shot the band into instant success and popularity. The album was critically praised and heralded a new awakening for interest in Britpop, with many publications citing the effort as one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

The album spawned hit singles that remain some of the band’s most recognisable and fan favourite songs including, “Supersonic,” “Shakermaker,” and “Live Forever.” The album cemented Oasis as a household name on both sides of the Atlantic and served as the catalyst for the band’s highly successful career.

The announcement came to fans via twitter yesterday, with the singer-songwriter explaining that he will be playing the album “from start to finish in it’s original order at a few BIBLICAL venues“.

While it is not yet known where these so-called biblical venues will be located, one thing that is abundantly clear is that these shows will sell out and sell out fast, given Liam’s, and Oasis’ in general, tremendously huge fan base and the popularity of the seminal LP.

Recorded at Sawmill Studios in Cornwall in January 1994 and mastered by Owen Morris later on in Manchester, Definitely Maybe was released later the same year by Creation Records on 29th August to immediate widespread critical acclaim. Following the release of singles “Supersonic“, “Shakermaker” and “Live Forever“, the album went straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart and subsequently became the fastest-selling debut album in the UK at the time.

Watch the music video for “Live Forever” below:

Definitely Maybe thereby cemented Oasis’ position as one of the best bands in the UK at the time, and helped instigate a surge in popularity of the britpop genre. The LP continually ranks extremely highly amongst fans and critics of the band alike and ultimately set Oasis on the road to attaining rock and roll legendary status.

In addition to Liam’s live shows, his brother Noel, last month, too expressed a wish to celebrate the anniversary of the release, this time by way of a 2024 reissue of the album. The reissue will feature acoustic, never heard before versions of “Live Forever“, “Supersonic” and “Slide Away“, and the prospect of both brothers celebrating the 30th anniversary next year, albeit in different ways, will surely leave fans salivating at the idea of a possible reunion.

Noel, however, undoubtedly piling on the misery to fans persisting on a reunion, unfortunately quashed hopes of the band performing together again in announcing the aforementioned reissue, claiming, in an interview with NME, that there “won’t be a tour” and that “we won’t come back to play them together“.

Watch the music video for “Supersonic” below:

Regardless, Oasis fans can find solace in the fact that both brothers will be doing something, at least, to celebrate one of the group’s finest and most successful albums.

They join acts such as Neurosis, Godflesh, The Bug feat Moor Mother, Jerusalem in my Heart and The Body. The event will run from 19-21 of July. Further information and tickets can be obtained here.

Supersonic was first launched in 2003 originally as a one day event produced by Capsule Brum and has become one of the most celebrated arts and music festivals in the world. One of the highlights of Birmingham’s cultural calendar every year, it attracts an audience who come from everywhere.

As far as festivals that specialise in the more experimental side of music go, Supersonic is considered to be the very best, with much support from publications such as “The Quietus” and “Arts Desk” and even gaining acclaim from leading tabloids such as The Independent and The Guardian. Over the course of its fifteen year history it has been host to some incredible performances not just from musical artists but also visual art and performances that get the audience involved.

“The betting suggests that 2017 is the most likely year for Oasis to get back together at 5/4.

Alger continued, “With the band’s biopic set to be released next month, some might say that our offer of 3/1 for Oasis to reform by the end of this year is good value. “

Guitarist Bonehead is keen for a reunion to happen, stating:

“There’s never a day goes by when I’m not asked by someone about a reunion. But nothing has been said to me about that. If I was asked? Then absolutely, like a shot.”

Still in regular touch with frontman Liam Gallagher, Bonehead and Liam will be reuniting this Sunday for Supersonic, the Oasis documentary. See our article here for a detailed account on the anticipated documentary which hits cinemas on 2 October. Two years ago they both attended the Chasing the Sun exhibition which gives fans their chance to recreate the iconic Definitely Maybe album cover in a recreation of Bonehead’s living room in West Didsbury, Manchester.

Despite the heavily slashed odds, Liam Gallagher insists there will be no Oasis reunion via comments on Twitter:

“Listen up no Oasis reunion Rkids not into it and I am hes too busy being beige new sounds on there way stay cool and most of all relevant LG x.”

Liam Gallagher has been writing his own material for a solo career and a new album release. So the question fans are left with: do we go with the slashed odds or trust Liam Gallagher’s statement and his history of feuds with his brother, Noel. In any case, their documentary Supersonic will give fans something to be nostalgic with.

Watch the video to their debut single ‘Supersonic’ below.

The trailer shows how Oasis were signed “there and then” and how the 90s were the perfect times to live in and perform in. Tabloid fame exploded and the trailer emphasises how it brought Oasis to “the dark side”.

Formed in 1991, original fans of Oasis – following them from their ground breaking 1993 debut album, Definitely Maybe – will know a lot about their history because of their zenith fame in the mid-90s. But Oasis have attracted fans of many differing generations: Supersonic will allow all fans to access a historic story. Their most recent and seventh studio album was Dig Out Your Sole in 2008.

Famous for their fights, falling outs, and arguments – including their famous ‘split’ in 2009 – the brothers attended frequent interviews and recorded voiceovers separately. Directed by Mat Whitecross, he has suggested the possibility of a reunion, stating:

“Neither of them have discounted the idea of getting back together. It will happen, I’m sure. The idea of never seeing them again for me is impossible.”

Whitecross also added that Coldplay’s Chris Martin was to be helping to join the brother’s hands back together. It has not been announced if both Liam and Noel will be attending the premiere to Supersonic.

Liam Gallagher recently tweeted:

“Just seen the trailer for oasis film i must say I do come across mighty fine super real unlike some people see you at the premiere LG x.”
