Oasis and Opus have today announced ‘Live ’25 Opus’, an official photographic chronicle of the Manchester band's huge reunion tour, created in collaboration with the Gallaghers and acclaimed photographer Simon Emmett.

Documenting one of the biggest global music moments in recent memory, the Opus brings together over 1,000 previously unseen images, captured with jealousy-inducing behind-the-scenes access across the entire tour, from intimate pre-show moments to the scale and chaos of Liam and Noel tearing apart the stage.

Emmett, who also shot the now-iconic image of the brothers reunited for the first time in 16 years, frames the project as more than just a tour document, instead capturing the shared energy between band, crew and fans during a defining cultural moment.

The Live '25 Opus is now available to order in multiple formats, shipping May 2026.

 

 

Speaking on the release, 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.”

The 'Live '25 Opus' arrives in four editions, each with a foreword from Emmett, and for the first time in Opus history, there will be a retail edition, making the project more accessible to fans. Titled the ‘Live Forever’ edition, it will be a 336-page hardback landing in stores from May 2026.

For collectors, three deluxe hand-bound editions take things further. The 'Wonderwall' Edition comes housed in a clamshell case with a commemorative ticket; the 'Glory' Edition adds leather binding, a removable vinyl with an exclusive voice note, and a signed print — limited to 3,000 copies worldwide; at the top end, the 'Supernova' Edition is a 70kg, ultra-limited piece (just 100 copies), complete with vinyl, signed prints and a bespoke flight case-style presentation.

In another exciting reveal, Oasis and Opus are keeping the fans at the heart of the story this publication celebrates. For the first time ever, Opus is also offering fans who order any of the three special editions (Wonderwall, Glory, or Supernova) the chance to have up to 12 of their own photographs and memories featured on tailor-made pages inside!

The very first Supernova Edition (numbered 001) will be auctioned in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, continuing Oasis’ long-standing relationship with the charity.

Speaking on the auction, 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!“
