Oasis fans are in for a treat…
Partnering with Opus for the publisher’s first band-focused publication after 20 years and 70 editions, renowned portrait photographer Simon Emmett is letting the world in on the full scope of the Oasis ‘25 World Tour.
Oasis Live’ 25 Opus is the definitive, all-area-access print edition eternalising the summer of Oasis. After taking the now iconic-photograph of two brothers reconnected on the day the tour was announced, Emmett knew he had begun the documentation of a global cultural movement.

“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.”
The publication captures the world tour in sequence, from intimate pre-show moments to the sheer size of stadiums performed. Most interestingly, fans have the opportunity to place themselves at the core of these memories, with deluxe editions enabling customers to add their own photographs.
The standard Oasis Live ‘25 Opus ‘Live Forever’ Edition, created by tour and portrait photographer Simon Emmett and heavyweight publishers OPUS, is a 336-page hardback priced at £65.
There are three deluxe collector’s editions of The Official Photographic Chronicle, each containing a whopping 1,000 photos. These are The Wonderwall Edition (£350), The Glory Edition (£1250), and The Super-Deluxe Supernova Edition (£12,000) — which comes with a 12” vinyl record featuring a voicenote from Emmett amongst other commemorative exclusives — limited to 100 copies worldwide (50 have already sold!).

This publication is equally a celebration of Oasis fans as it is the brothers who brought them together. All who purchase one of the special editions (‘Wonderwall’, ‘Glory’ or ‘Supernova’) will have the complimentary option to add up to 12 of their own photographs from the tour. These will be printed within the chronicle as tailor-made pages, allowing fans to slot their own memories in amongst cultural artefacts to create a one-of-a-kind souvenir with an indelible personal mark.
The first copy of the super-deluxe ‘Supernova’ edition will be auctioned at The Teenage Cancer Trust’s annual Legends Ball in November, with all proceeds going directly to charity.
Orders are open now, with shipping expected from May 2026.
