Oasis sold out stadiums in '94, now they sell out Galleries

Londonewcastle

The Oasis exhibition at the Londonewcastle Project Space in Shoreditch has been one the most successful exhibitions since we opened the gallery over five years ago.

People from all over the UK - and Europe - have travelled to see iconic photographs of Oasis taken during the Brit-Pop years of the mid-90s - and a full-size mock-up of the Burnage flat pictured in the band’s debut Definitely Maybe (where you could recreate your own album cover).

We were even lucky to have an impromptu visit from former band members Liam Gallagher and Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthur on the opening night - Bonehead telling NME, “We didn’t get to see [the exhibition] - we got f**kin’ mobbed.” Media and fan frenzy then ensued throughout the opening.

Oasis

Rare images, memorabilia and artefacts were featured in this the first ever solo exhibition of the band’s seminal moments, gathered under the title: Chasing the Sun: Oasis 1993-1997. It follows the band’s rise from the streets of Manchester to international rock stardom and legendary gigs at Glastonbury and London’s 100 Club.

We are proud to have played a small part in bringing this Champagne Super Nova to Shoreditch.
