Breaking Baz: Oasis’ Bitter ’90s Britpop Clash With Blur Retold In West End-Bound Show ‘The Battle’
West End-bound comedy 'The Battle' will recount the Britpop clash between Oasis and Blur in the 1990s. The news comes amid Oasis' plans to reunite.
A new play heading to London’s West End in 2025 will chart the harshness of the animosity between the two enormously popular so-called Britpop bands, a rivalry so bitter that it burst into the headlines, even the TV news covered it. News of the show, appropriately titled The Battle by humorist and writer John Niven, a former indie rocker and one-time A&R man, comes as Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel have buried their own feud to launch a huge Oasis tour in 2025 after 15 years apart. Negotiations are taking place with a prominent director, and actors have been approached about portraying Noel and Liam Gallagher and Blur’s Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree, as they were in 1995.
