Unplugged Live has always been about capturing the raw power of music in its most intimate form—acoustic, stripped down, and undeniably real. This week, one of the most influential bands of the last three decades takes center stage once again: Oasis. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking album, the band has released a brand-new deluxe edition that includes freshly recorded unplugged acoustic versions of five iconic tracks, including fan favorites “Morning Glory” and “Wonderwall.”
A Landmark Anniversary for a Landmark Album
Originally released in 1995, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? became a defining record of the Britpop era and one of the best-selling albums in UK history. With anthems that shaped an entire generation, the album didn’t just dominate the charts—it cemented Oasis as cultural icons. Now, 30 years later, the band is revisiting the album with a new perspective, delivering acoustic renditions that highlight the timeless songwriting beneath the wall of sound.
The unplugged versions strip away the layers of distortion and big arena production, placing the focus on Noel Gallagher’s songwriting and Liam Gallagher’s unmistakable voice. Tracks like “Morning Glory” take on a darker, more reflective tone in their unplugged form, while “Wonderwall” reminds fans why it became one of the most beloved singalongs of the 1990s.
A Global Reunion Tour for the Ages
The deluxe reissue arrives alongside Oasis’ massive reunion tour in 2025—an event fans have been dreaming about for years. After decades of speculation and sibling rivalries that felt larger than life, Noel and Liam Gallagher finally returned to the same stage, and the result has been nothing short of historic. Every date on the tour sold out in record time, from stadiums in the UK and Europe to arenas across North America, Asia, and Australia.
The tour not only celebrates Oasis’ legacy but also showcases their willingness to revisit their catalogue in new ways. Alongside their electrifying full-band performances, select shows have featured acoustic mini-sets that echo the energy of MTV’s legendary Unplugged series—moments that remind fans how powerful the band sounds when the noise is turned down and the music speaks for itself.
Unplugged Versions That Resonate
For longtime fans, these acoustic reworkings are more than just bonus tracks—they’re revelations. Songs like “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Champagne Supernova” take on an almost haunting quality when played unplugged, allowing the lyrics to shine through with raw vulnerability. The stripped-down arrangements are proof that Oasis’ music doesn’t rely on big production tricks; it’s the bones of the songs—the chords, the words, the emotion—that have kept them relevant for three decades.
Oasis on Unplugged Live
Unplugged Live is dedicated to celebrating moments like this.

Thirty years on, Oasis continues to prove that their music is as vital and enduring as ever. The deluxe anniversary edition, with its acoustic reimaginings, is more than nostalgia—it’s a fresh way to experience songs that defined a generation.
