The resurgence of Oasis’s legendary status continues as the band embarks on their highly anticipated Live ‘25 tour, which launched in Cardiff and is heading towards a homecoming gig in Manchester followed by a series of major shows at Wembley Stadium in London. To complement this landmark tour, Big Brother Recordings has introduced the Oasis Live ‘25 Map Experience, a digital companion designed to deepen fans’ connection to the band’s rich history. The app, built with Google Maps, enables users to explore an immersive, location-based journey across cities featured on the tour, spotlighting key landmarks linked to Oasis’s legacy.

London holds a particularly significant place in Oasis’s story, reflected clearly in the map’s curated stops throughout the city. Among these are iconic recording sites such as Air Studios in Hampstead, where parts of the seminal album Be Here Now were recorded, and Abbey Road Studios in St John’s Wood, where they crafted their seventh album, Dig Out Your Soul. The app also highlights culturally important sites outside the studio environment, including the Creation Records base in Hackney, founded by Alan McGee who famously signed the band in 1993. Fans can trace the locations of notable music video shoots, including the Little By Little video in Islington and the Cigarettes and Alcohol artwork featuring the Halcyon Hotel in Holland Park. In addition, standout photoshoots such as those at The Columbia Hotel in Lancaster Gate are also part of the experience.

North London’s pub scene, integral to the band’s personal and social life, features prominently on the map as well. The Sir Richard Steele pub in Haverstock Hill, near Noel Gallagher’s former home known as Supernova Heights, was a well-frequented drinking spot. Likewise, The Good Mixer in Camden Town stands out as one of the key haunts where the band and their contemporaries used to gather, embodying the Britpop era’s social fabric.

This interactive platform offers fans an enriching way to navigate each tour stop with curated hotspots, including historic music venues where Oasis played legendary shows, iconic bars frequented by the band, and official merchandise outlets. The app also utilises real-time geolocation features to provide augmented reality experiences exclusive to those visiting the host cities, enhancing the engagement for concertgoers and dedicated followers alike.

Moreover, fans are encouraged to share their journey and enthusiasm on social media through YouTube Shorts, with opportunities for their content to be featured both on the Live ‘25 Map Experience and the official Oasis YouTube channel. This encourages a participatory dynamic, enabling the global fan community to unite in celebrating Oasis’s enduring influence.

As the band’s Wembley Stadium dates approach, with multiple performances scheduled through July and into September, tools such as interactive seating maps are also being made available to assist fans in preparing for the concerts. These include 3D views from each seat, allowing attendees to select their preferred vantage point for witnessing what promises to be historic shows.

Oasis’s London landmarks have long been pilgrimage sites for fans, with Berwick Street in Soho standing as a photographic symbol thanks to its appearance on the cover of (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? The Water Rats in King’s Cross is another notable venue, hosting the band’s first show of the Definitely Maybe tour in 1994. These historic venues, alongside the recording studios and pubs, form a vivid tapestry that celebrates not just the band’s music but their cultural moment in the 1990s Britpop movement.

In sum, the Oasis Live ‘25 Map Experience offers an innovative way to revisit the band’s legacy, blending technology with music history, and engaging fans old and new as they follow the band’s landmark tour. The app is available at live25.oasisinet.com and promises to be a defining companion for the Oasis experience throughout 2025.
