Oasis unveil Live 25 Tour merchandise with homage to iconic Knebworth gigs
The first drop is 'Knebworth 1996' t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts and jumpers; emblazoned with the Oasis logo on the crest sitting atop the bold Union Jack tricolour.
The design is a tribute to the band's era-defining shows at the Hertfordshire park in 1996, which saw the 'Supersonic' group play to 250,000 fans over two evenings.
Over the next six months Amazon will drop further designs, including odes to Oasis' 2006 North American Tour and the Wembley concerts from 1997's 'All Around The World' tour, plus classic album artwork merchandise for 'Be Here Now' and 'Heathen Chemistry'.
Laura Lukanz, Head of Music Industry, UK, Australia and New Zealand at Amazon Music, said: 'Ahead of the seismic return of Oasis this summer, we're excited to bring this exclusive range of merch to the fans. Throwing back to some of their most iconic gigs and albums, from Knebworth '96 to Heathen Chemistry, these designs capture moments in Oasis history and are an essential for those going to the shows this summer, or for fans looking to celebrate this monumental moment. And we're just getting started – stay tuned for more exclusive drops to follow!'
Oasis merchandise is available globally on Amazon now.
Oasis will first take to the stage this summer for two performances at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
The UK and Ireland tour will also visit Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September.
After tickets for the UK and Ireland shows went on sale last year, there was outrage as some standard tickets appeared to have jumped from £148 to £355.
The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge that they would look at the use of dynamic pricing.
The band is also travelling to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America and a movie, produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, is being made in conjunction with the reunion tour.
Oasis, who signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, soared to fame after they released their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994.
They had hits with songs including Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall, Supersonic and Live Forever.
Noel quit the rock group in August 2009 saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer'.

Oasis dedicate song to Ozzy Osbourne as they begin series of gigs in London
Liam Gallagher told tens of thousands of fans of his pride as the band graced the stage at Wembley Stadium for the first time in more than a decade. Just three songs into their much-anticipated appearance, he declared the crowd was 'f****** beautiful', having bowed to the sea of raised arms before him. Liam and brother Noel played with their band for the first of seven nights at the stadium on Friday – with five shows over the next week and two more scheduled in September. It was the first time they had appeared together onstage at the London venue since July 12 2009, when they performed during their Dig Out Your Soul tour. Towards the end of the gig, they paid tribute to Osbourne. Lead singer Liam said: 'I wanna dedicate this one to Ozzy Osbourne, rock 'n' roll star.' The Black Sabbath star's death at the age of 76 was announced earlier this week. Oasis superfans in bucket hats and branded T-shirts had packed the Tube en route to the gig from earlier in the day, with international accents denoting the band's worldwide popularity. As with previous gigs Liam and Noel walked onstage hand in hand, opened with Hello and proceeded to belt out many of their classics including Some Might Say and Morning Glory. The packed-out stadium was in full voice throughout and at one point Liam threw a tambourine into the jubilant crowd, while later positioning one on top of his head. Despite pledging to concentrate on his vocals rather than talking – telling those gathered 'every time I open my mouth at these gigs I seem to get myself into a lot of trouble so I'm just going to do the singing' – Liam later engaged in some light football banter. The well-known Manchester City fan appeared to poke fun at Arsenal fans in the crowd, joking about their position in the Premier league. Phone camera torches lit up the stadium as darkness fell and crowd-pleasers Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova closed the gig. At various points Noel thanked the crowd, with Liam telling them they had been 'amazing', ahead of fireworks erupting into the London sky. Friday's show – the eighth of the tour – followed a five-night run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park and the two opening shows in Cardiff earlier this month. Following the first part of their Wembley stint, the band will head up north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium followed by Dublin's Croke Park. The group will head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America later in the year. Oasis announced their reunion tour in August of last year – 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009 which saw Noel quit following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. While fans were excited at the Britpop band's reunion, many were left outraged after some standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing.

Recorded on the first night of their stint at the park, Cigarettes and Alcohol has become a staple favourite on the brothers' set list.

Oasis, Wembley Stadium, review: Enough tears to fix the water shortage
I was slightly hoping, from a purely critical point of view, that the eighth concert of Oasis's much-hyped reunion tour – and their first of seven shows at London's Wembley Stadium – might somehow deviate from the raucous joy-filled carnival of the first seven. Some on-stage tension between Liam Gallagher and older brother Noel, perhaps. Or a steadfast refusal by Liam to sing the right notes in the right order. Britpop's enfants terribles couldn't still be on blistering form, could they? Well, yes. Scorching form, actually. This was raw, loud, bracingly unpretentious, thankfully apolitical… and proof that rock and roll is the ultimate democratic artform. The stage set was simple. Liam, in fine voice and sporting a velvet beanie hat, may have looked like an urban gillie, but, my goodness, his voice was powerful. Some Might Say and Slide Away were momentous. And Noel seemed the most relaxed he's been all tour. This was the gig at which all the band's celebrity chums were present. Sienna Miller, Noel's ex-wife Meg Mathews, and tennis star Jack Draper, were among the celebs. But they were, at best, a side show. This was all about the 90,000 fans. I pulled pints at an Oasis concert in Finsbury Park in 2002 – after the band's mid-1990s imperial phase but before they imploded in 2009 – and it was among the most miserable days of my working life. Pouring rain and 50,000 gnarly drunk people. A corridor of police horses awaiting outside. No thanks. Here, the intoxication was celebratory. What changed? Nostalgia's a mollifying cushion. But mainly those fans grew up and had kids, many of whom were here. The sense of occasion was off the scale, and rightly so. Oasis are only playing 17 UK shows; they'd need to play 170 to satisfy last year's demand for tickets. The band were tight, held together by rhythm guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs. He left the band in 1999 but, as tonight proved, provided the 'Oasis chug' that gave many of the songs their heft. Noel's solo numbers – Little by Little and The Masterplan – were the emotional heart of this extraordinary show. Live Forever, with Liam back on vocal duty, was dedicated to the late Ozzy Osbourne. It's astonishing that all but three of the 23 songs played tonight were released in an 18-month blitzkrieg between April 1994 and October 1995, many of them as B-sides. Surely only The Beatles between 1962's Love Me Do and 1964's Can't Buy Me Love can beat that in terms of mass cultural impact. Or perhaps ABBA, following the release of SOS in 1975. The rockers, like Roll With It and Rock 'n' Roll Star were phenomenal. Yet the music's only one thing. These concerts matter for another reason. The economy's shrinking, taxes are rising, pubs are permanently shuttering, trains are creaking, supermarket food costs so much it's security tagged and Britain hasn't produced a decent mainstream rock band for decades. In other words, the UK feels about as effervescent as Keir Starmer's haircut right now. Reasons to be cheerful? Lionesses, Lions and Bazballers aside, there aren't any. So, believe it or not, something as slight as a rock concert by greying men in their 50s can actually make a difference. Sometimes the shallow end is where the important stuff happens. If last summer belonged to the Swifties, this summer belongs to Oasis and their fans. Here's a way to end the current water shortage. Attach a water butt to Wembley and catch 90,000's people's tears. When Noel sang Don't Look Back in Anger, and Liam Wonderwall, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Extraordinary scenes. Will there be more after this tour? I don't know, but assuming vocal cords and brotherly relations hold firm, I'd bet they do three or four Knebworths next summer with a valedictory sign-off at Glastonbury 2027. They'd be daft not to. Prepare to refresh your browser. It was utterly mesmerising.
