In Manchester for Oasis? Walk the same streets they did – and discover the music history that made the band possible. 

Manchester’s musical legacy comes to life in this walking tour around the city. Charting the rise of one of Britain’s biggest bands, you’ll be guided through the city streets that shaped Oasis – from the flat where Noel wrote those era-defining early albums, to the gig venue where it all began.

You’ll pass by record shops, rehearsal spaces, and Northern Quarter hangouts that were part of the band’s everyday life, alongside street art and stories that bring their journey vividly to life.

But Oasis didn’t emerge in a vacuum. Along the way, your guide will dig into the Manchester music scene that came before them – from The Smiths to the Madchester sound – all set to a curated playlist of tracks that shaped a generation. Expect big tunes, brilliant anecdotes and a deeper dive into the city that made the band.

No stone will be left unturned as you explore the sites where hit songs were written, where legendary gigs took place, and where more than a few drunken antics were had.

You could be a seasoned gig-goer or here on your first visit with Oasis tickets in hand, all knowledge levels are welcome, and you’re guaranteed to learn something new. 

Whether you were lucky enough to bag a ticket, or you’re just visiting Manchester at the right time, this tour is essential for any Oasis fan wanting to get a closer look at where it all began.
