Noel Gallagher Creates Six-Hour Version of 'Champagne Supernova'

It's already famous as one of the biggest songs by English rock veterans Oasis, but now founding member Noel Gallagher has far surpassed that record by creating a six-hour version of 'Champagne Supernova'.

According to The IndependentGallagher created the new version of the enduring song as an ambient mixed track for a new exhibition at London's National Portrait Gallery.

The Legends exhibition will open on November 29 and run until March 2, featuring more than 100 portraits of figures from the worlds of art, fashion, business and entertainment captured by photographer Zoë Law.

Along with images of England's World Cup winner Sir Bobby Charlton, the exhibition will also include images of actress Kim Cattrall, actor Orlando Bloon and Gallagher himself. It also features a portrait of Sienna Miller who appears to be holding the 1967 Epiphone guitar that Gallgher used while writing “Champagne Supernova”.

It was originally released in 1995 as the last track by Oasis (What's the Story) Morning Glory? The album, “Champagne Supernova” was released as the record's sixth and final single, eventually spending five weeks at the top of the Alternative Airplay chart in April and May 1996.

News of the extended ambient version of the track is the latest in a year full of headlines for Oasis, largely thanks to the British group's surprise reunion earlier this year.

Announcing a string of 2025 concerts across the UK that sold out instantly, the band revealed five tour dates across North America on September 30, with shows scheduled for Chicago, New Jersey and California in August and September 2025. “America. Oasis are coming,” the band said at the time. “You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”

Despite the level of international excitement the reunion has inspired, Oasis' upcoming tour dates have also been making headlines for the wrong reasons, primarily due to their use of the controversial dynamic pricing practice.

The backlash from UK fans was so strong that after announcing their US tour dates, Oasis released a statement saying the practice would not be used for their North American dates.

“It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticketing and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans below the market price and therefore more affordable,” they said in a statement.

“But when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could sell out many times over by the time tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that can't keep up with that demand, it becomes less efficient and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.”
