Oasis Announce Reunion, 15 Years After Split

After months of swirling rumors and a week of hints dropped by the front-man, Oasis have made fans’ dreams come true by confirming their highly anticipated reunion tour. This comes a staggering 15 years after the unforgettable backstage confrontation between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. 

Hailing from Manchester, Oasis are widely recognized as one of the most influential bands of the 90s, and are best known for tracks like ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’, and ‘Cigarettes and Alcohol’. Their split in 2009, following a heated argument in Paris, marked the end of an era, leaving fans yearning for a reconciliation that seemed unlikely. 

However, all speculations have been put to rest, with the band making an announcement on social media, revealing plans for a series of 14 concerts spanning across the UK and Ireland. 

In a statement, the band declared, ‘The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great war is over. Come see. It will not be televised.’

Charli xcx Sweats it Out for New York Magazine Cover

Charli xcx graces the cover of New York Magazine’s latest issue, accompanied by an extensive feature interview penned by Brock Colyar. The stunning photoshoot, expertly captured by the legendary David LaChapelle, brings the essence of ‘brat’ to life. In the cover image, Charli exudes confidence, wearing a striking pink and black lingerie set, paired with stockings, while leaning against a police car. 

In the interview, Charli revealed that she has been working in the studio with Bon Iver and Danielle Haim of the HAIM sisters. During the interview, she also discussed a post about Kamala Harris in which she called Harris “brat.” Charli explained that being on the right side of democracy and women's rights is incredibly important to her. She mentioned to New York Magazine that she didn't expect the post to garner 55 million views and emphasized that it was intended to be a lighthearted joke.

The feature also sees Taylor Swift praise Charli xcx, she writes, ‘I’ve been blown away by Charli’s melodic sensibilities since I first heard ‘Stay Away’ in 2011. Her writing is surreal and inventive, always. She just takes a song to places you wouldn’t expect it to go, and she’s been doing it consistently for over a decade. I love to see hard work like that payoff.’
