Oasis re-release Standing on the Shoulder of Giants with 25th anniversary LP and T-shirts
Oasis have announced they will release a 25th anniversary edition of their fourth album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants this month.
Ahead of their comeback tour, the band are revisiting their 2000 record by making it available on a limited edition silver vinyl LP and limited edition purple vinyl LP. The band have also released anniversary T-shirts.
Standing on the Shoulder of Giants will be back in shops and on their website on Friday, February 28, exactly 25 years after its initial release.
Back in 2000, the record was not their best received and coincided with a general downturn in fortunes for both the band and the Britpop scene.
However, the album did spawn their long-time walk on instrumental Fuckin' in the Bushes and also Little James, which was an early songwriting effort by Liam Gallagher. Until that point, all Oasis songs had been written by his brother Noel.
It was also the first to feature guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell, who would become longtime members, alongside drummer Alan White. Founding members Guigsy and Bonehead had left the band after their third album Be Here Now.
Standing on the Shoulder of Giants reached number one in the UK, selling more than 600,000 units to go double platinum. The first single, Go Let It Out, also reached the UK's number one and Who Feels Love? made number four.
However, it is not one fondly remembered by Noel Gallagher.
'Spike [producer Mike Stent] was really good at technically recording it,' he said in 2009.
'The sounds on that album on Who Feels Love? and Go Let It Out are brilliant, but the songs are not there. It's symbolic of the record, the sound is pretty good, the playing is good, but the songs are not there. There are no killer singles on it.'
In another interview, Gallagher added: 'I got bogged down trying to reinvent something… But all the lyrics to that album are amazing. There are some real proper pieces of music there… But we were all coming out of the party and it was like recording an album with a serious hangover.'
Oasis have not said if they have plans to re-release their 2005 album Don't Believe the Truth for its 20th anniversary, or if they will put out an album of new material.
Their tour kicks off in July in Cardiff and will take in seven dates at London's Wembley Stadium.

Scottish rock band praised by Oasis set to play Carlisle in sold-out summer show
A SCOTTISH indie band once named by Liam Gallagher as the 'second best band in the world' (after Oasis) are coming to Carlisle this summer. Teenage Fanclub, formed in Glasgow in 1989, have had a long career marked by both critical acclaim and commercial success. Tickets for the August 31 show at the Old Fire Station have sold out but hopeful gig-goers can join a waiting list via the venue's website. The band's debut album, 1990's A Catholic Education, was followed by The King, and then Bandwagonesque and Thirteen. Gallagher made the comments about Teenage Fanclub when the band shared a label with Oasis in the mid-90s, following the release of their top ten album Grand Prix. Songs from Northern Britain, the band's sixth studio album, was released in 1997 and reached number 3 in the album charts. The band are also a famed live act, and have played alongside the likes of Radiohead and the Foo Fighters during their career.

The Mancunian Way: Dirty old town
Hilary Judd had a life that was a picture of suburban bliss in Manchester. The 46-year-old mum has called Manchester home for 20 years, building a career lecturing at Manchester Metropolitan University. She started a family in Whalley Range with her partner and they have two sons, Arthur and a six-year-old Dessie. But now, something invisible is now making her and Dessie's lives harder — so much so she's considering leaving Manchester altogether. Three weeks ago, he was caught unable to catch a breath, and Hilary is wondering if Manchester is the right place to bring up her children. You can read the full piece from Ethan Davies here.

Fans of the Gallagher brothers watched on in horror as they were forced to make a quick choice between splashing cash that would get you a pretty nice holiday or watching their chance to attend a gig of a lifetime slip away - all while the Ticketmaster timer ticked on menacingly in the background. But it turns out that ticketing isn't the only concept dynamic pricing has been applied to. At sports bar The Director's Box in Manchester city centre, punters have been asked to stump up an extra few quid for a pint during busy times including the Europa League final. When one customer ordered one pint of Birra Moretti lager and one pint of Beavertown Neck Oil IPA during the fixture, his bill came to £15.80. But when the M.E.N.'s Ste Topping visited on Wednesday evening (June 11) to make the same order, the bill came to £13.80 in total. You can read his full story here.

The Met Office have issued a 13-hour thunderstorm warning from 3pm on Saturday to 4am on Sunday. Ahead of the extreme heat, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issued rare amber heat-health alerts across the whole of England, which will remain in place until 9am on Monday (June 23). The UKHSA warns that the whole health service is "likely" to be impacted by high temperatures, with a "rise in deaths" expected. You can read more here. Whether you agree or find it laughable, parts of Manchester have drawn comparisons to New York on more than one occasion. And recently our tourism writer Liv Clarke went to see the Big Apple for herself. While there she went to see the High Line, the 1.45-mile-long linear park which follows the route of the former New York Centre Railroad spur. It was the inspiration for Manchester's Castlefield Viaduct park, which like the High Line, breathed new life into an unused piece of railway infrastructure, transforming a 150m section of the grade-II listed viaduct into a green can read her thoughts on the comparison here.

7 Legendary Glastonbury Outfits You Can Copy Right Now
From the muddy fields to the main stage, Glastonbury isn't just a music festival, it's a fashion moment. Year after year, be it from A-list celebs to regular festival goers, the festival delivers a parade of iconic looks that blend utility with style. And whether you're dancing through downpours or soaking up sun at the stone circle, your outfit should be as memorable as the line-up. From Kate Moss' era-defining mini dress and Hunter boots to Alexa Chung's flawless mix of layering and high-low styling, Glasto has long been the ultimate runway for festival fashion. To help you pack for this festival (and beyond), we're breaking down some of the most legendary looks spotted backstage over the years and showing you exactly how to copy them. Whether you're channeling rock and roll glamour, off-duty model cool, or playful Britpop vibes, there's something here for everyone. Arguably the most iconic Glastonbury look of all time, Kate Moss' 2005 look is and was the epitome of rock and roll festival style. In the 20 years since Moss stepped out in a shimmering mini dress to Glasto, both Dua Lipa and Alexa Chung have dutifully followed suit. And for good reason: a shimmery mini dress brings effortless glam to even the most sodden of campsites, while the oversized belt adds definition and a tough-girl edge. Layered with a cropped leather jacket and mud-splattered Hunter wellies and be the coolest girl on the field. For a cool yet practical Glastonbury outfit, channel Sienna Miller's 2024 look. Featuring a checked, zip-up shell jacket and drawstring white utility trousers this ensemble is totally festival-functional. The oversized silhouette offers comfort and airflow, perfect for all-day wear, all while delivering a 1990s Britpop vibe. Welly boots are a must for muddy fields - consider a Chelsea boot style to go with trousers. Alexa Chung's 2024 Glastonbury look combines romanticism and vintage vibes with edge. A flowing, pastel yellow slip dress trimmed with lace is both dreamy and daring, particularly when paired with an oversized parka coat. Tough black boots ground the look and add festival practicality for stomping through fields. This outfit proves that mixing soft femininity with rugged outerwear creates a standout look you can recreate with secondhand finds and statement layering. For a playful and practical Glastonbury vibe, Margot Robbie's look is a festival win. An oversized, nostalgic sweatshirt adds a fun twist to even the most practical of outfits (Chloë Sevigny is a big fan of Mickey Mouse tees) and some Fear And Loathing-style sunglasses give you full license to quote Thompson all festival weekend long. While Margot can get away with full length leggings, we'd swap these out for capris or denim, but we're all in on the Hunter wellies and colourful backpack. This ensemble proves you can stay comfy, cute, and mud-proof all at once - ideal for the laid-back festival-goer. Stay incognito, like Adwoa Aboah, in hard-wearing but still cool camouflage. Pick up your camo pieces at army surplus stores at a steal, while ensuring you're wearing premium grade stuff. Jazz up your look with a 'personality hat' - we love Emma Brewin's furry bucket hats, but head scarves and fisherman hats would also do the trick. Embrace your inner eccentric, clash prints with purpose, and make your outfit as unforgettable as the music lineup itself. If you want to give it girl energy at Glastonbury, take notes from this iconic look. A tailored waistcoat worn as a top reads androgynous, while micro shorts and a studded belt keep the silhouette fearless. Pair, as ever, with black Hunter wellies and a simple crossbody bag keeps essentials handy without ruining the vibe. To recreate this effortlessly cool energy, layer some minimalist jewellery, and let your confidence do the talking. This is festival fashion stripped back and turned up. Alexa Chung's Glastonbury look is a masterclass in festival layering. To recreate it, start with high-waisted denim shorts over opaque black tights (for warmth). Add a fitted denim jacket for double denim done right, then top it with a waxed Barbour coat to stay practical and timeless. The key accessory? A printed neck scarf that adds a pop of personality. And of course, finish with essential muddy wellies. This outfit blends British heritage with cool-girl charm.
