This proves to be a well-timed revelation for Liam Gallagher as he embarks on a nationwide tour in June, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the album ‘Definitely Maybe’.
Recently, it was announced that the 30th anniversary of Oasis "Supersonic" would be marked by a re-release of the track as a physical single.
Originally released on April 11 1994, the track was the debut single from the Britpop duo and later appeared on their debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’.
Liam Gallagher confirmed the news last month. “To celebrate 30 years of Supersonic, the original CD single and a limited edition pearl-coloured and numbered 7” release on April 12th, 2024,” he wrote on Instagram.
Gallagher also announced that his son Gene’s band would be the supporting act throughout the tour. Starting in Sheffield, the tour is a must for Oasis fans as he is due to perform the entirety of the ‘Definitely Maybe’ album along with some “b-sides” from their collection.
