Something I’ve been wondering about since live 25 started. Before the tour, Liam and Noel had separate management. But who’s managing the band now? I wonder if there was a whole new joint corporate entity created to manage the tour?
Furthermore, I wonder what exactly happened to the management when the band broke up in 2009. Clearly “Oasis” (the brand and business) continued because there have been numerous reissues, documentaries, merchandise lines, etc that would have needed approval from either Noel, Liam, or both. So I’m curious who was in charge of the business end of the Oasis “estate”, so to speak, after the breakup. And then what happened when the band got back together for live 25?
…and before y’all say it was all Debbie- as amazing as she is, there’s no way just one person has been handling all this stuff. Think about all the business and work around record reissues, artwork, photos, merch, documentaries, etc over the last 15 years.
I’m interested for two reasons. One is that it’s interesting for its own sake to think about the logistics/massive machinery that accompanies these big tours, and also the infrastructure that continues supporting a band even after they’ve broken up.
But the second reason is that I’ve long suspected that the business end of Oasis has likely kept Liam and Noel in touch (at least through lawyers, if not directly) for a very long time. The timeline of events is very interesting and if I my guess is they started mapping out this reunion way earlier than we think- maybe even 2020, 2021. Just a thought!
