Those missing the epic show can hopefully console themselves by watching Oasis Knebworth 1996.

The film, which is directed by Jake Scott, marks the 25th anniversary of one of the most iconic live concerts in British history, where Oasis played two consecutive nights to 250,000 fans.

A press release explains: "Oasis Knebworth 1996 is the story of the special relationship between Oasis and their fans that made the largest concert of the ‘90’s possible. It is told entirely in the moment through the eyes of the fans who were there, built around extensive, and never before seen archive concert and backstage footage from the event, with additional interviews with the band and concert organisers."

Oasis Knebworth 1996 is also set for a worldwide cinematic release on 23 September 2021.
