According to The Independent, Gallagher has 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 Nov. 29 and run until Mar. 2, featuring more than 100 portraits of figures from the worlds of art, fashion, business, and entertainment taken by photographer Zoë Law.

Alongside images of England World Cup winner Sir Bobby Charlton, the exhibition will also feature images of actress Kim Cattrall, actor Orlando Bloon, and Gallagher himself. It also features a portrait of Sienna Miller who is seen holding the 1967 Epiphone guitar which Gallgher used during the writing of “Champagne Supernova”.

Originally released in 1995 as the closing track to Oasis‘ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? album, “Champagne Supernova” was issued as the record’s sixth and final single, ultimately spending five weeks atop the Alternative Airplay chart in April and May 1996.

News of the extended ambient version of the track is the latest in a year filled with Oasis headlines, largely thanks to the British group’s unexpected reunion earlier this year.

Announcing a series of 2025 shows across the U.K. which sold out instantly, the band revealed five tour dates across North America on Sept. 30, with shows planned for Chicago, New Jersey, and California in August and September 2025. “America. Oasis is 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 made headlines for the wrong reasons, namely due to the usage of the controversial dynamic pricing practice.

Backlash from U.K fans was so intense that upon the announcement of their U.S tour dates, Oasis issued a statement noting the practice would not be used for their North American dates.

“It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable,” they said in a statement.

“But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.”
