The Oasis reunion is no longer a rumour, it’s happening. With shows already underway in Manchester, Cardiff and soon Dublin’s Croke Park, fans are once again screaming Champagne Supernova like no time has passed. In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, I revisit the song that captured Oasis on the edge of everything, before Be Here Now, before the implosion, before break-up and the 2025 reunion.
I first heard it on a crackling 2FM broadcast in Waterford in 1996, when the Manchester Brit pop band played Dublin’s Point Theatre. Now, watching clips from the reunion flood social media, I feel the same way I did back then like the world cracked open for just a few minutes. This video explores why Champagne Supernova might be the most Oasis song Oasis ever made, all drift, ego, grandeur and aching beauty.
The Last Mixed Tape is hosted by Stephen White, and is also available in podcast form on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
