Liam Gallagher will honor the 30th anniversary of his former band Oasis’ classic debut album Definitely Maybe with a tour performing it in its entirety for the first time. The set will also include B-sides from that era. “I’m bouncing around the house to announce the Definitely Maybe tour,” Gallagher said in a statement. “The most important album of the ‘90s bar none. I wouldn’t be anywhere without it and neither would you, so let’s celebrate together.”
As of now, the tour will only take place in the U.K. and Ireland. It kicks off in Sheffield, U.K. on June 2 and ends in Gallagher’s hometown of Manchester on June 27.
Released on Aug. 29, 1994, Definitely Maybe launched Oasis as worldwide sensations and is regarded as both one of the best Britpop albums and one of the best rock albums of the 1990s. It has sold more than 8.5 million copies worldwide and features signature tracks such as “Live Forever,” “Supersonic,” and “Cigarettes & Alcohol.”
Gallagher has played many of the songs live in his post-Oasis band Beady Eye and more recently when touring under his own name, but several have not been aired in many years, including “Up in the Sky,” “Digsy’s Dinner,” and “Married With Children.”
Earlier this year, we spoke with Liam’s brother, ex-Oasis guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher, about Definitely Maybe. He said had no desire to perform the album but gave his lukewarm endorsement of Liam doing so. “If Liam wants to do the show, great. He’s got to make a living and all of that,” he said. “Keep the flame alive. It’s not something I particularly would be able to put my heart and soul into.”
