The Oasis Live ’25 Opus is the official photographic chronicle of the Oasis Live ’25 tour. Created in collaboration with Liam and Noel Gallagher, deluxe editions of the Opus feature 1000 unseen photographs captured with unprecedented access by acclaimed portrait photographer and film director Simon Emmett. It is a unique visual celebration of the band’s live legacy and long awaited reunion.

Simon Emmett took the iconic photograph of Noel and Liam Gallagher back together again for the first time in 16 years. Released on the day the Oasis Live ‘25 tour was announced on 27th August 2024, the photograph has become one of the most instantly recognisable images across the globe. The Oasis Live ‘25 Opus captures what Simon’s camera lens saw next. Created with exclusive behind-the-scenes access throughout the entire tour, the Opus documents the band and their fans across a global cultural moment that united generations.

Speaking about that moment and the continued collaboration, Simon Emmett said: “When I saw the reaction to the photo, it was obvious to me that this wasn’t a single event. The photograph was the beginning of something. I felt strongly that this needed to be documented. There was no facade, this was genuine. We watched the crowd having the time of their lives, but the band and the crew are also having equally as good a time. That’s what was so magical about it. Opus is a really appropriate home for something like Oasis Live ‘25. They're a unique publisher, and it was a unique tour. I just hope that in some small way that it has captured the essence of joy of it.”

This special Opus publication is presented in four different editions, each including a foreword written by Simon Emmett. For the first time in Opus history the publisher has created a retail edition, refining and condensing the Opus to make this remarkable publication available in a brand-new way. Titled the Live Forever Edition, a 336-page hardback measuring 33.6 × 24.6 cm and weighing 0.5 kg will be available in stores from May 2026.

Alongside this are three deluxe 648-page hand-bound collector’s editions, featuring 1000 photographs. The Wonderwall Edition (47 × 33.5 cm, weighing 12 kg) is bound in buckram, features an inlaid circular photograph of the Gallagher brothers, and comes in a clamshell case with a commemorative acrylic ticket. The Glory Edition, (62 × 44.5 cm, 21.5 kg) is bound in the finest leather, includes gatefold pages, a voice note from Simon Emmett, housed on its own 10-inch removable vinyl record, a commemorative ticket, an unseen lithographic photographic print signed by Simon Emmett, and is presented in a choice of Contact Sheet or Reunion clamshell cases. This edition is limited to 3,000 copies worldwide. The super-deluxe Supernova Edition, (82 × 59 cm, 70 kg), is housed in a bespoke flight case-inspired presentation case with acrylic cover, also features a voice note from Simon Emmett housed on its own 12-inch removable vinyl record, a commemorative ticket, and two unseen silver gelatin photographic prints signed by Simon Emmett. Limited to 100 copies worldwide.

The very first copy of the Supernova Edition, numbered 001, will be auctioned in support of Teenage Cancer Trust. 100% of proceeds from the sale of this special first edition will go directly to the charity. This continues a long history of support dating back to 2002, when Oasis first performed at the charity’s annual Royal Albert Hall show, an event both Noel and Liam Gallagher have continued to support throughout their careers. Opus also has a long tradition in auctioning the first edition for charity across all of their projects, dating back to the publisher’s inception in 2006. The auction of the Supernova Edition will take place at the Legends Ball at Grosvenor House on 19th November 2026.

Jane Ashton, Head of Music and Entertainment at Teenage Cancer Trust, said: “This is such a special fundraiser for us as Oasis have been huge supporters of the charity for almost 25 years, and we’re so very grateful to them for choosing us to receive the proceeds from the first edition, as well as be associated with such an iconic tour and product. Teenage Cancer Trust exists because cancer care wasn’t made for young people – and we’re here to make sure every young person has the treatment, care and support they need. I know that the sale of this first edition will help us be there for more young people who need us, when they need us the most. Thank you Oasis and thank you Opus!“

The Opus celebrates more than a tour. This is a richly detailed document of the global summer of Oasis. Simon Emmett’s photography is at the heart of this narrative. Each edition includes unprecedented access to photographs. Transportive, breath-taking images capturing the Oasis Live ‘25 tour in sequence as the band travel across the world. The photographs capture not only the scale of the tour, but its soul. The intimate moments before the stage lights rise, the sheer intensity of the performance, the generations of fans that screamed every word. The images move beyond reportage. They are cultural artefacts. Raw, intimate, unfiltered and unseen by the outside world, until now.

Oasis fans are at the heart of the story this publication celebrates, and for the first time, Opus is offering fans the chance to have up to 12 of their own photographs and memories featured on tailor made pages within their Oasis Live ‘25 Opus. All fans who order any of the three special editions, Wonderwall, Glory, or Supernova, will have the option to create these tailor made pages as a complimentary addition.

The Oasis Live ‘25 Tour has cemented Oasis’ place at the very top table in rock history. From their hometown to the Americas, to Australia and Asia, generations of Oasis fans came together for a shared experience of euphoria and joy. The Oasis Live ‘25 Opus will immortalise this incomparable cultural moment in print for the first time.

The Opus is now available to order in multiple formats here, with shipping starting from May 2026.
