OASIZ are one of the UK’s most authentic tribute bands, a point proved in 2023 when a short clip of frontman Steve performing as Liam went viral on social media with over half a million views. Many fans were convinced the clip was actually of Liam Gallagher himself, which led to the story being covered in the national press as well as a high-profile TV appearance later that year.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the record-breaking Oasis shows at Knebworth, OASIZ are embarking on their third UK tour – and this is your chance to see them in top form. The setlist will pay homage to the most memorable parts of the Knebworth shows and will also include all the big-hitting, career-spanning anthems that you would associate with a greatest hits tour.

One not to miss!
