The 25th anniversary of Oasis’ legendary Knebworth concerts is being celebrated with Knebworth 1996, a raft of audio and video releases which offer the definitive live recording of the event along with a new feature length documentary (which gets a theatrical showing in September).
The two record breaking nights at Knebworth took place on 10th and 11th August 1996, with over a quarter of a million young music fans from all over the world converging on Knebworth Park, Hertfordshire to see the legendary sets.
The formats are as follows:
2CD+DVD – 20-song setlist taken from Sat and Sun plus documentary on DVD
3LP vinyl – 20-song setlist from best of Sat and Sun
Blu-ray – Documentary, Saturday gig in full, Sunday gig in full
3xDVD – Documentary, Saturday gig in full, Sunday gig in full
2CD – 20-song setlist taken from Sat and Sun
As detailed above, the DVDs and blu-ray include Oasis Knebworth 1996, the new feature-length documentary telling the story of the relationship between Oasis and their fans, directed by Jake Scott. The film is told entirely in the moment through the eyes of the fans who were there, built around extensive and never-before-seen archive concert and backstage footage from the event, with additional interviews with the band and concert organisers. In addition, the DVDs and blu-ray include both nights edited by Dick Carruthers with audio mixed by Will Shapland in Dolby 5.1 surround sound.
The 2CD+DVD set (documentary only, on the DVD) comes in ‘casebound book’ packaging, the blu-ray is standard ‘amaray’ case, the triple vinyl comes in a six-panel gatefold sleeve and the two-CD is card ‘softpack’.
There is actually a super deluxe edition box set available only via the band’s website which brings together 3LP vinyl, 2CD, 3xDVD and double cassette along with various printed memorabilia like numbered concert ticket, AAA pass, show information booklet, art print, and “rare commemorative event binocular”. There is no blu-ray in this box set (go figure).
Knebworth 1996 will be released on 19 November 2021.
