Music Goes On - News - Oasis Announce Anniversary Tour

I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

Oasis have announced some 'low-key' shows to mark their tenth anniversary Oasis have announced a 'low-key' UK tour in October to mark their tenth anniversary.

The band made their live debut on 18 August 1991 at the Manchester Boardwalk. They will be playing at smaller venues rather than the stadiums/arenas that fans are now used to. Their last UK dates were in July last year at Wembley Stadium.

Tickets for the shows will go on sale on 18 August at 10am, ten years after their first show. Since then the band have played 465 shows around the world.

The short tour consists of two dates in London, two in Manchester and another two in Glasgow. It was in Glasgow that the band were spotted by Alan McGee - the boss of Creation who gave them their first record deal. Manchester is the home town of the band.

The dates are as follows:

7 October - LONDON Shepherd's Bush Empire
8 October - LONDON Shepherd's Bush Empire
10 October - MANCHESTER Apollo Theatre
