Wow amazingly we have managed to get the UK's finest Oasis tribute band to perform at the Festival. These guys have been on the road since way back and recently won a poll on Radio 2 as the best Oasis Tribute in the UK. With original guitars and jackets as worn by the guys themselves on tour Oasist bring you the closest thing to Oasis. Expect to see some arrogance and some snarls as it wouldn't be true to reality if not but also expect to hear some classic songs such as Rock n Roll Star, Wonderwall, Lyla, Don't look back in anger, Champagne Supernova, Roll With it many many more great sing along hits.
