Britpop

The Sheffield band were one of the biggest acts of the 1990s Britpop era - although their music never quite fit into the backward-looking musical revisionism of that movement - with songs like Babies, Disco 2000 and Common People.

In the same cohort as the late Sophie and XCX, the 34-year-old producer/DJ/musician will bring his edgy synths and raw vocals off his third solo, studio album “Britpop” to the Gobi tent.

Andy Gill in the Independent called their eponymous debut album "the final cherry on the Britpop cake".

The Liverpool band, who came to prominence in the 1990s' Britpop explosion, are the second support act to be revealed for Oasis's global reunion tour.

Announcing the tour, the band took aim at fellow Britpop icons Oasis and the recent furore surrounding ticket sales for the Manchester-rockers' comeback shows.
