With the Oasis tour now underway, all thoughts are turning to what to wear for your upcoming gig – and this Berghaus jacket is the perfect piece of iconic Oasis history
After their first showstopping gig at Cardiff last week, Oasis are set to take the rest of the UK by storm in the coming weeks, with plenty of other tour dates still to go, including six shows in their hometown of Manchester. If you were lucky enough to snag tickets and are still working out exactly what you should wear, why not bring back a little piece of Oasis history?
During their 1977 world tour, Liam Gallagher arrived on stage in Oslo wearing Berghaus’ Meru Mountain Gore-Tex Jacket in its signature red and blue colourway, sparking a long-standing affinity between the band and the brand. In fact, Liam was part of Berghaus’ Icons campaign last year which re-launched many of its iconic jackets.

During the campaign, Liam said: “My first encounter with Berghaus was through my brother Noel. He purchased a green one in the late 80s and I was always pinching it off him. They were all the rage and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one of my own. I thought to myself ‘When I’m rich and famous, I’m getting myself one.’ I finally did that and I’ve still got it to this day.”
Considering the Berghaus jackets have become as much a part of Oasis’ look – both on stage and off – as their bucket hats and parkas, it’s a safe bet that a Meru Mountain Gore-Tex Jacket is a great choice for wearing to their upcoming gig. Plus it’s waterproof finish means you don’t need to worry about any impromptu rain showers that may happen at the open air gigs.
You can pick up your own Berghaus jacket for £290 in sizes XS to 3XL, with the jackets having a unisex design. You can also get them in navy with red accents, as well as either a grey or khaki version.
If you’re looking for something to wear under your Berghaus jacket, Next has dropped a whole line up of Oasis band T-shirts, featuring everything from colourful album art to a simple band logo. There’s also bucket hats, sweatshirts and hoodies, not to mention T-shirts for the whole family and even an Oasis babygrow.
Next isn’t the only one hopping on the Oasis hype, with Marks & Spencer also dropping its own line of men’s band T-shirts. Priced between £20 and £22 they’re the perfect staple for your gig-going outfit.
However for a truly authentic Oasis look, getting your hands on a Meru Mountain Gore-Tex Jacket is a must. Shop yours directly from the Berghaus website now.

viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
