New Oasis fans – or those in need of a refresher – are being offered a college masterclass to learn all about the band ahead of their sold-out reunion tour later this year
Glasgow Clyde College in Scotland is set to bring Britpop back into the classroom with an Oasis masterclass, ahead of the band’s highly anticipated reunion tour this summer. The college aims to introduce the Manchester band to a new generation of concert-goers through this unique class.
The Oasis reunion tour has already generated massive interest, with over 1.4 million tickets sold for the 17 UK dates. This innovative course follows on from last year when the college offered a Taylor Swift class to help parents understand the popstar’s music before accompanying their children to her Eras Tour shows.
The Oasis masterclass at Glasgow Clyde College will guide fans through the band’s early days as The Rain, their discovery at Glasgow’s King Tuts venue, their most popular albums and their notorious falling out.

The course will delve into the attitude, aesthetic and anthems that made Oasis a cultural phenomenon, highlighting why they were one of the biggest bands globally and showcasing key moments to anticipate in one of the most eagerly awaited series of concerts in recent memory.
Designed specifically for younger fans attending the tour, this one-off course will take place at Glasgow Clyde College’s Langside Campus on June 26 from 6pm in the Innovation Centre.
The presentation and audio commentary will also be available online for those unable to attend in person. Two members of the college’s team, who claim to have devoted their lives to the band, will teach the course.
Christopher Kennedy, a 50 year old curriculum manager for the school of business and finance, is a die-hard Oasis fan who has been following the band since their inception and has attended over 40 live performances, including iconic shows at Glastonbury and T in the Park’s King Tut’s Tent in 1994, as well as Wembley in 2000.

Amy Butler, a 38 year old accounting lecturer and e-learning development officer, claims she has “lived and breathed” Oasis since 1995. With more than 20 concerts to her name, Oasis-themed tattoos adorning her skin, and a son named Noel, she’s on a mission to prove that Oasis represents not just music, but “a movement”.
Robert Anderson, assistant principal at Glasgow Clyde College, commented: “With the Oasis reunion now just weeks away, we wanted to create something that would help fans, especially younger ones attending with their parents, understand why this band still means so much to so many.

“This masterclass is about more than just the music; it’s about the attitude, the era, the energy, and the cultural moment that Oasis defined. For anyone heading to the gigs, it’s a chance to feel fully immersed, to know the backstory, and to connect with what made them the biggest band in the world,” Anderson added.
He continued: “Last year’s Taylor Swift masterclass helped parents understand the world their kids were stepping into. This flips that idea. Now, it’s the younger generation getting a crash course in Oasis before experiencing the reunion with their mums and dads. At Glasgow Clyde College, we’re all about helping people prepare, learn, and create unforgettable memories together, and this felt like the perfect moment to do just that.”
