June 23, 1995 • Glastonbury Festival, Somerset, England

Setlist

Show Notes

• Oasis headlined the opening night of Glastonbury Festival, returning just a year after their appearance on the NME Stage in 1994. Their performance on the main stage was scheduled for 10:45 pm.
• This was Oasis' first festival appearance with new drummer Alan White, who had replaced Tony McCarroll in April. White had made his first television appearance with the band on Top of the Pops in early May, followed by his live concert debut at a warm-up show at Bath Pavilion the previous evening.
• The show took place on Bonehead's 30th birthday.
• Robbie Williams, who was still a member of Take That at the time, spent the festival weekend partying with Oasis and briefly joined them onstage to dance during 'Shakermaker'. He left Take That just a few weeks later and has since described his time at Glastonbury as the beginning of a new chapter in his life.
• The 15-song set included several tracks from the forthcoming album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?', including 'Hello', 'Roll With It' and 'Morning Glory'.
• A few hours before the show, Noel was interviewed backstage by Jo Whiley for BBC Radio 1's Evening Session, broadcast about a week later. He talked about the new album and the story behind its title, mentioned the warm-up show in Bath and revealed that the set would include five new songs and an instrumental, which later became 'The Swamp Song'.
• Backstage, Noel also performed an acoustic version of 'Cast No Shadow'. It differs slightly from his later radio performances of the song.
• 'Supersonic' had to be restarted following sound problems.
• The show was broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and shown the same night as part of Channel 4's '4 Goes to Glastonbury' coverage. Channel 4 aired it again on December 23, 1995 in 'Your Generation', and Japan's WOWOW also broadcast footage that year. In the US, the concert was syndicated by Westwood One radio in July 1995, with further broadcasts in 1996 and 2002. BBC Radio 6 Music aired it again on July 13, 2012.
• The festival celebrated the 25th anniversary of its first edition. All 80,000 tickets had sold out within four weeks of going on sale, priced at £65 each. The other headliners were Pulp on Saturday, who had replaced The Stone Roses at short notice, and The Cure on Sunday.
• Although commonly referred to as the Pyramid Stage, the main stage in 1995 was a temporary replacement. The original Pyramid Stage had burned down shortly before the 1994 festival, and a new pyramid-shaped structure was not completed until 2000.
