Oasis

In the summer of 2004, Oasis was riding high on the wave of their iconic status in British rock, having just released their fifth studio album, 'Don't Believe the Truth,' the following year. However, at the time of the Glastonbury performance, the band was still basking in the success of their earlier hits, which solidified their legacy. This particular rendition of 'Songbird,' which Noel Gallagher wrote and performed, captured the band's raw energy and emotional depth, making it a standout moment of the festival. An interesting fact is that Glastonbury 2004 was also notable for the significant overlap of fans from various genres, showcasing Oasis's wide-ranging appeal. Their ability to draw such a diverse crowd at Glastonbury underscored their stature in the UK music scene, as they wrapped their performance with a sense of nostalgia and the promise of rock's enduring power.
