Meanwhile, the support acts on the Sunday were The Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers, Kula Shaker, Cast and Dreadzone. The Charlatans had lost their keyboard player Rob Collins in a car accident three weeks earlier - Martin Duffy from Primal Scream stood in. Here are the facts. Riding high after the success of their second album, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, Oasis announced that they were to play two nights at Knebworth House, Hertfordshire on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 August 1996. REPRINT TAKEN FROM OUR ORIGINAL LITHO-PRINTED POSTERS DESIGNED TO CATER FOR THE MANY REQUESTS WE HAVE FOR A SMALLER VERSION OF THIS ICONIC POSTER. Bands like Queen and Led Zeppelin had performed to huge crowds at Knebworth in the 70s and 80s… but Oasis held the record for the biggest crowd to that date. Oasis played to 125,000 people a night: that’s a quarter of a million people in total. Their Knebworth record was held until 2003 when Robbie Williams played THREE nights at the same venue! Doors opened at 2.15pm and support acts on Saturday 10 August were T he Prodigy, Manic Street Preachers, Ocean Colour Scene, The Chemical Brothers and The Bootleg Beatles.
