The Last Mixed Tape

Champagne Supernova, Oasis and the Moment Before Everything Changed


Listen Later

The Oasis reunion is no longer a rumour, it’s happening. With shows already underway in Manchester, Cardiff and soon Dublin’s Croke Park, fans are once again screaming Champagne Supernova like no time has passed.

In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, I revisit the song that captured Oasis on the edge of everything, before Be Here Now, before the implosion, before break-up and the 2025 reunion.

I first heard it on a crackling 2FM broadcast in Waterford in 1996. Now, watching clips from the reunion flood social media, I feel the same way I did back then like the world cracked open for just a few minutes.

This video explores why Champagne Supernova might be the most Oasis song Oasis ever made, all drift, ego, grandeur and aching beauty.
