Oasis 96 Knebworth Pop Up Shop

Knebworth Calling: Oasis 96 Pop-Up Shop Takes Over

Ever found yourself humming Wonderwall while doing the dishes, or caught yourself belting out Don't Look Back in Anger in the shower? You're not alone. Oasis, the legendary British rock band, has left an indelible mark on music history, and now, they're taking over Knebworth with a pop-up shop that's as iconic as their tunes.

For those who missed out on the legendary Knebworth concerts in '96 (or weren't even born then), this is your chance to step back into that era. The pop-up shop, nestled in the heart of Knebworth village, is a time capsule of sorts, transporting you back to the Britpop heyday with its vintage band merch, retro posters, and even the classic Oasis parkas.

What's in Store?

The shop is a treasure trove for Oasis fans, with rare and exclusive items up for grabs. Think limited edition t-shirts, hoodies, and even a special Knebworth '96 commemorative mug. And yes, you can still get your hands on the classic Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? albums on vinyl - because who doesn't love the crackle of a record spinning?

But it's not just about the merch. The pop-up shop is also hosting a series of events that'll make you feel like you're backstage with the band. There's acoustic sets from up-and-coming musicians, Q&As with people who were there in '96, and even a screening of the Oasis: Knebworth 1996 documentary. It's like a festival, but indoors and with more tea.
