Oasis at Knebworth 1996 - the peak of Britpop

Jake Scott's documentary 'Oasis Knebworth 1996' gives us an extraordinary insight into a time widely viewed as the crowning moment in Britpop history.

In 1996, two-and-a-half million people - more than 2% of the UK population at the time - applied for tickets to see Oasis play two nights at Knebworth. A quarter of a million people were lucky enough to be there for what was widely viewed as the crowning moment in our Britpop history. Jake Scott's documentary tells the story of that historic event. In this episode of our 5 Minutes On podcast, the director speaks to Justin Webb from Radio 4’s Today programme about 'Oasis Knebworth 1996'.
