Kevin Cummins announces new Oasis book ‘The Masterplan’ – featuring loads of unpublished photos
The book also comes with contributions from Noel Gallagher, who shares his thoughts on everything to football, fashion and his memories of Oasis' formative years The post Kevin Cummins announces new Oasis book ‘The Masterplan’ – featuring loads of unpublished photos appeared first on NME.
Renowned music photographer Kevin Cummins has announced a new book, Oasis: The Masterplan, featuring a host of previously unpublished shots of the Gallagher brothers.
Having been behind the lens at the beginning of the band’s career, the new book gives fans a never-before-seen look at the brothers over “twelve months of seismic change that cemented the identity of Oasis”, per a press release.
As the former NME photographer, who has shot everyone from Ian Curtis to David Bowie, detailed on threads recently, he was brought along in their breakthrough early nineties years: “I was commissioned to photograph them with various lighting, locations and styles, for Creation Records to see what suited them best.
Charting the “just-bought-at-Affleck’s Palace attainability of their look to the Brother-sponsored Man City Shirts”, the book promises to show how the band developed the signature sound and style that came to typify the UK indie scene.
Out tomorrow (March 27), you can check here for stockists and exclusives. It also comes with contributions from Noel Gallagher, who shares his thoughts on football, fashion and his memories of their formative years. Likewise, it comes with words from Cummins himself, as well as cultural commentary from Gail Crowther.
Looking ahead to this summer’s landmark reunion shows, those close to the tour revealed details of who’ll be playing in the band line-up to NME. They said Andy Bell will be on bass, Gem Archer and Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs on guitar, and Joey Waronker is set to be on drums.
Due to kick off in Cardiff on Friday July 4, the Oasis’ Live ’25 reunion tour sees a long-run of UK dates as their only shows in Europe this year, before the band heads to stadiums across North America, South America, Australia and Asia.
Devoted Oasis fans have been excitedly waiting for the Oasis reunion since their announcement in August. Speaking to NME in a feature about the band’s return to their hometown, 29-year-old Oasis enthusiast and Manchester-based sports writer Razz Ashraf opened up to journalist Gary Ryan while at Sifters Records – the record shop the Gallagher brothers used to visit and name-checked in their 1994 track ‘Shakermaker’– and shared: “All I wanted to do was come down here and touch the sign and be where it all started.”
“I get emotional about it. I’ve been fantasising about this moment for so many years,” he added, explaining that his father would play Oasis around the house. “He wasn’t that big into rock, but because they were from Manchester, he could understand it. As I started connecting more to my city, they started meaning more to me.”
Meanwhile, the band also announced a film titled Live ’25 will be made in conjunction with the tour, which will be produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, with direction from Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace – known for the LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up And Play The Hits.
The band recently reissued their fourth album ‘Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants’ to mark its 25th anniversary, and engaged in a brief chart battle with Kendrick Lamar after the vinyl re-release of classic single ‘Whatever’ threatened to take the Number One spot after 31 years.
Oasis are nominated for this year’s Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame alongside the likes of New Order, The White Stripes and Mariah Carey, but Liam continues to maintain that the honour is “for wankers“.
