It’s the announcement fans have waited decades for: Oasis, the legendary Britpop band that defined a generation, is officially set to release a collection of long-lost tracks in 2026—sparking a frenzy of speculation, celebration, and disbelief. The group, whose seismic influence on 1990s rock still resonates, has remained dormant since their bitter 2009 breakup. But according to sources close to the band, a vault of unreleased material will finally see the light of day in what insiders are calling a “musical time capsule.”
The collection, reportedly titled Wonderwall Rewinds, features a carefully curated set of songs recorded during the band’s peak years, many of which were considered too experimental, raw, or personal for release at the time. These aren’t demos or outtakes, but fully produced tracks that have been sealed away—until now. What’s more, there’s talk that both Liam and Noel Gallagher have offered input into the final mastering process, marking the first significant creative cooperation between the brothers in over 15 years.
While a full reunion hasn’t been confirmed, the fact that the famously feuding siblings are both involved in this project has sparked cautious optimism among fans. “We never thought we’d hear these songs, let alone see the Gallaghers working in tandem again,” says Jules Myers, a longtime Oasis biographer. “This release isn’t just about music—it’s about legacy, forgiveness, and rewriting the final chapter.”
The project’s announcement, made via a cryptic video featuring archival footage and the phrase “Some things refuse to stay buried,” immediately went viral. Within hours, hashtags like #OasisReturns and #WonderwallRewinds began trending worldwide. Online forums and fan pages erupted with theories about which sessions the songs might come from—early Definitely Maybe B-sides? Lost tracks from the tumultuous Be Here Now era? Or perhaps even unreleased material from what was meant to be their final album?
Adding to the mystique, the band has opted for a slow drip of information. A full tracklist has yet to be revealed, but a teaser snippet of one unnamed song—a soaring, melancholic ballad that sounds like classic Oasis—has already reignited emotional responses across the globe. “It’s like they never left,” wrote one fan on Reddit. “It’s 1996 again and everything feels possible.”
For years, the possibility of new Oasis music felt like a pipe dream. Noel pursued a successful solo career with the High Flying Birds, while Liam found renewed success on his own, often peppering interviews with jabs at his brother. Despite frequent rumors and emotional pleas from fans, both men held firm: Oasis was over. And yet, here we are, on the verge of what may become the most talked-about release of the decade.
Music industry insiders suggest that the rollout of Wonderwall Rewinds will be unlike anything we’ve seen before. There’s speculation of a documentary tie-in, limited edition vinyl pressings, and even secret listening events in Manchester and London. “This is more than a nostalgic cash grab,” said a representative from Big Brother Recordings. “It’s a cultural event.”
Critics are already preparing for what they expect will be a seismic moment in rock history. “Oasis defined a movement,” said Rolling Stone contributor Hana Whitmore. “If these tracks capture even a fraction of their original fire, they won’t just resonate with Gen X and millennials—they’ll inspire a whole new generation of listeners.”
As the countdown to 2026 begins, one thing is certain: Oasis is no longer just a memory. Whether or not this leads to a full-scale reunion, the mere fact that new (old) music is on the horizon is enough to reignite the dreams of millions. For the fans who never gave up hope, Wonderwall Rewinds isn’t just a release—it’s a resurrection.
