It’s pretty obvious that Oasis are our communal golden children here in Manchester, despite all the ups and downs, and now an indie radio station has put those Gallagher brothers on a brand new pedestal. To celebrate the legacy, spirit, and reunion of Oasis, Radio X, home to huge indie and rock tunes, announced today (Thursday 15th May) the launch of a pop-up radio station entirely dedicated to the Manchester band.
A must-listen for any Oasis fan, this station is definitely not maybe the best thing to happen to your speakers in years. ‘Radio X Oasis‘ is a celebration of one of Britain’s most influential bands and will soundtrack the summer for Oasis fans.
Oasis, one of the biggest bands in history, revolutionised rock music with a string of seminal albums and era-defining gigs. Last year the Gallagher brothers officially announced their long-awaited reunion, with tour dates marking their first shows in 16 years.
From today, fans are able to listen to Oasis’ extensive and legendary discography and catalogue of music on the station including fan favourites such as Slide Away, huge hits including Wonderwall, much loved B-Sides and archived live tracks recorded exclusively for Radio X. The station will go into the Radio X interview archives with Noel, Liam and Oasis band members and curated shows including Oasis Top 10s, Chilled hours, 90s dedicated shows, and the opportunity for fans to pick their ideal set list.
Oasis’ enduring legacy and devoted fan base remains unparalleled across the generations. Last month Live Forever by Oasis was voted as the best British song of all time by Radio X listeners in the station’s 10th annual Best Of British poll, with another four Oasis tracks making up the top 10.
As the reunion tour draws closer, Radio X Oasis will bring listeners all the latest updates on The Oasis Live ’25 Tour and soundtrack the build-up as fans prepare for the ultimate gigs this Summer.
Matt Deverson, Managing Editor of Radio X said: “Launching Radio X Oasis feels like the ultimate way to celebrate this unforgettable chapter in music history. There’s no band like Oasis, and no audience more passionate — in the words of the band themselves: ‘the guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The wait is over.’
“And now we’re thrilled to bring this moment to life for our listeners with a dedicated radio station. It’s just rock’n’roll.”
