Oasis masterclass set to take place ahead of band's massive reunion tour
Glasgow Clyde College in Scotland is set to bring Britpop back into the classroom with an Oasis masterclass, ahead of the band's highly anticipated reunion tour this summer. The college aims to introduce the Manchester band to a new generation of concert-goers through this unique class.
The Oasis reunion tour has already generated massive interest, with over 1.4 million tickets sold for the 17 UK dates. This innovative course follows on from last year when the college offered a Taylor Swift class to help parents understand the popstar's music before accompanying their children to her Eras Tour shows.
The Oasis masterclass at Glasgow Clyde College will guide fans through the band's early days as The Rain, their discovery at Glasgow's King Tuts venue, their most popular albums and their notorious falling out.

The course will delve into the attitude, aesthetic and anthems that made Oasis a cultural phenomenon, highlighting why they were one of the biggest bands globally and showcasing key moments to anticipate in one of the most eagerly awaited series of concerts in recent memory.
Designed specifically for younger fans attending the tour, this one-off course will take place at Glasgow Clyde College's Langside Campus on June 26 from 6pm in the Innovation Centre.
The presentation and audio commentary will also be available online for those unable to attend in person. Two members of the college's team, who claim to have devoted their lives to the band, will teach the course.
Christopher Kennedy, a 50 year old curriculum manager for the school of business and finance, is a die-hard Oasis fan who has been following the band since their inception and has attended over 40 live performances, including iconic shows at Glastonbury and T in the Park's King Tut's Tent in 1994, as well as Wembley in 2000.

Amy Butler, a 38 year old accounting lecturer and e-learning development officer, claims she has "lived and breathed" Oasis since 1995. With more than 20 concerts to her name, Oasis-themed tattoos adorning her skin, and a son named Noel, she's on a mission to prove that Oasis represents not just music, but "a movement".
Robert Anderson, assistant principal at Glasgow Clyde College, commented: "With the Oasis reunion now just weeks away, we wanted to create something that would help fans, especially younger ones attending with their parents, understand why this band still means so much to so many.

"This masterclass is about more than just the music; it's about the attitude, the era, the energy, and the cultural moment that Oasis defined. For anyone heading to the gigs, it's a chance to feel fully immersed, to know the backstory, and to connect with what made them the biggest band in the world," Anderson added.
He continued: "Last year's Taylor Swift masterclass helped parents understand the world their kids were stepping into. This flips that idea. Now, it's the younger generation getting a crash course in Oasis before experiencing the reunion with their mums and dads. At Glasgow Clyde College, we're all about helping people prepare, learn, and create unforgettable memories together, and this felt like the perfect moment to do just that."

Taylor Swift helps BFF Selena Gomez celebrate her 'most beautiful year yet' at glamorous 33rd birthday bash
Selena Gomez kicked off her 33nd birthday celebrations in style — and she wasn't alone. Her longtime best friend and pop powerhouse Taylor Swift was right by her side as the Only Murders in the Building star rang in another trip around the sun with her closest pals. In one image, uploaded to Gomez's Instagram, the stars were pictured sitting in what appeared to be a ball pit as the birthday girl playfully reached toward the camera. Dressed in a sequined silver jumpsuit, the singer and actress looked radiant as she posed with Swift, who sported her signature red lip and a black minidress. Although the Sunset Blvd hitmaker did not disclose any party details, the gathering appeared to have a 70s disco theme and be held at the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. In an early birthday celebration (her actual birthday lands later this week), Gomez shared a glowing Instagram post reflecting on what she called 'the most beautiful year of my life.' 'As I prepare to celebrate my 33rd birthday, I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey that has brought me here,' Gomez wrote in her caption. 'This past year has truly been the most beautiful year of my life, and I owe so much of that to all of you.' Gomez continued, thanking her followers for their support through 'highs and lows' and promising to carry that love into her next chapter. The Cruel Summer hitmaker wasn't the only VIP in the room — Gomez's fiancé, music producer Benny Blanco, was also in attendance. The couple shared sweet moments throughout the night, including a passionate kiss caught on camera that had fans swooning. In another image, taken on the dance floor, the pair looked happier than ever as they wrapped their arms around each other and swayed to the music. Fellow singer and former Disney star Sofia Carson, 32, was also in attendance to help Gomez ring in her birthday with her loved ones. While the bash served as an early celebration — it was a clear reflection of the support system and creative energy surrounding her. The past few years have marked a major turning point for Gomez both personally and professionally. In late 2023, she confirmed her relationship with Blanco, and in late 2024, the couple announced their engagement. The two also collaborated on a surprise joint album that gave the world a personal glimpse into their relationship.

Marcus Rashford's journey to Barcelona almost scuppered by OASIS ahead of transfer
Marcus Rashford has touched down in Barcelona to complete a medical ahead of his season-long loan move to the La Liga champions, but the journey wasn't straightforward Oasis nearly scuppered Marcus Rashford's masterplan as he attempted to travel to Barcelona and complete his hotly-anticipated transfer move. Rashford, 27, is leaving Manchester United on a season-long loan after he was made part of the Red Devils' five-man bomb squad. The England international will join Barca on a temporary basis before a £26million option to buy becomes active next summer. Just before 9pm on Sunday, Rashford's private jet landed in Barcelona. But the United wantaway and his representatives had hassle getting up in the sky. Rashford had planned to take a private jet from Manchester but ended up having to travel to East Midlands Airport. That's because all of the slots at Manchester Airport's private terminal were full thanks to Oasis and their rabid fans, according to the Sun. The reunited rockers played their final homecoming gig at Heaton Park on Sunday. While match-going Manchester City fan and legendary guitarist Noel Gallagher travelled by train, his City-supporting brother and lead singer Liam flew via private jet from his home in the south of France. Celebrities have also flown in from around the world to watch Oasis perform 16 years after the brothers' explosive split which contributed to a packed Manchester terminal. A source said: "Marcus' travel plans were disrupted so it was all a bit stressful but he would have walked to Barcelona to sign for them. Noel and Liam can have a laugh that they accidentally put a spanner in the works." Upon finally landing in Barcelona, Rashford was filmed getting into a car taking him to a hotel, where he'll sleep before having a medical on Monday. The 27-year-old didn't offer any words, but he gave a smile and a thumbs-up to journalists and supporters who were welcoming him. Rashford identified Barca as his dream move after being told that he had no future under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. Last month, the forward was asked by Spanish YouTube channel XBuyer whether he wants to play with Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal in the future, and his response was telling. "Yeah, sure. Everybody in the world wants to play with the best," Rashford replied. "So hopefully, we'll see." Rashford added: "Spain is nice, it's not too far from home. If I'm training over a long period, my family can come for a few days, it's a nice location and good weather."
