Their Knebworth record was held until 2003 when Robbie Williams played THREE nights at the same venue!

Oasis announced that they were to play two nights at Knebworth House, Hertfordshire on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 August 1996.

Radio X’s John Kennedy was part of a team - along with Gary Crowley and Keith Cameron that presented “Radio Supernova” between 11am on the Friday and 2am on the Sunday morning for people travelling to Knebworth. On the 10th August 1996, Oasis played the then fastest selling ticket in concert history at Knebworth Park, known as the defining weekend in Britpop.Bands like Queen and Led Zeppelin had performed to huge crowds at Knebworth in the 70s and 80s… but Oasis held the record for the biggest crowd to that date.

Here's a little know fact that I hadn't revealed before today - When I designed the programme for the Oasis Knebworth gigs, I based the tickets on the front cover entirely on the Beatles tickets used at the Hollywood Bowl. Meanwhile, the support acts on the Sunday were The Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers, Kula Shaker, Cast and Dreadzone.Some of the faces backstage were were Kate Moss, Jarvis Cocker and, er, Martine McCutcheon and Mick Hucknall. Noel Gallagher said the years after Knebworth were like a “comedown” - “I really suffered,” he admitted to the NME ten years later.
