Oasis were discovered in this humble venue in Glasgow

The brothers’ infamous feud in 2009 led to the group disbanding, and while both have since ventured into solo careers, fans are yet to see the duo back on the same stage once again.

Amid reports of a reunion, let’s remind ourselves of the story of how Oasis were discovered – in Glasgow.

This takes us to a humble but iconic little venue on St Vincent Street. King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut is known for nurturing rising stars with modest crowds and for bursting at the seams with crowds for global superstars.

No matter where you are in your career, everyone wants to perform at King Tut’s.

So many well-known acts have graced the stage in the early stages of their career and rocketed to stardom.

But it was one gig in 1993 by a group of Manchester lads that caught the eye of a Glasgow record label owner.

Noel, Liam, Bonehead, Guigsy and Tony rented a van and headed north of the border to perform at King Tut’s after being invited by fellow Mancunians Sister Lovers.  

But not all ran smoothly. When they arrived, they were allegedly refused entry as they were not on the setlist – but they certainly weren’t going to slide away from the premises.

Accounts vary on how they got to perform, but the favourite version is that they ‘bullied’ their way on stage.

Oasis’ future rivals Blur had performed to around 40 people at King Tut’s in July 1990, and over a year later, they returned and fans were being knocked back due to overcrowding of the venue.

Imagine if Oasis hadn’t gotten to perform on that same stage but Blur had?

They made it, and they were spotted by Creation Records co-founder Alan McGee, who was there to watch one of his own bands, and - some might say - the rest is history.
