Playing 41 sold-out stadium shows across 17 cities in the UK, Canada, the US, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil, with three shows added along the way due to demand, the Oasis’ Live ’25 tour has included Britannia Row Productions deployment an L-Acoustics K Series concert sound system.
While this marks Oasis’ first tour with the French loudspeaker manufacturer, L-Acoustics has been part of the Gallagher brothers’ story for well over a decade. When Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds launched their touring career in 2011, FOH engineer Dan Lewis specified K1 and K2 arrays with precision-tuned subwoofer arrangements to nail Noel’s signature controlled low-end. Meanwhile, Liam’s solo tours used a K Series for his explosive Definitely Maybe 30th anniversary tour in 2024, with K1 over K2 arrays and flown K1-SB subs.
Marking the return of Liam and Noel Gallagher to the stage together for the first time in 16 years, the current the tour’s system deployment is more grand in scale than either of the siblings’ separate ventures.
The rig features main arrays of four L-Acoustics K1-SB subs over 14 K1 over two K2 per side, with left and right hangs of 16 K1-SB subs adjacent to each main, while rear 270° hangs add a dozen more K2 per side. Out-fill hangs were identical to the main arrays for the European run, but the audio crew swapped out the four K1-SB with four K1 in North America due to the higher venue heights.
On the ground, KS28 subs were set in 16 stacks of three in a cardioid configuration, with six K3 for front fill. Twenty A15 were used as out fill, with a eight A15 as FOH shadow fill.
The tour’s delay system typically comprised four towers of 12 K1 over four K2, although that was elevated to six towers for the band’s hometown show at Heaton Park in Manchester to cover the field. And in venues where a ring delay system can be hung from the stadium roof, between eight and 11 hangs of eight K2 each have been flown, the full system being more than amply driven by 136 LA12X amplified controllers, paired with a P1 processor at FOH (primarily used to run an analogue backup and for using M1 to tune the system).
The tour’s crew chief and systems engineer, Ben Webb, has also worked with Peter Gabriel, Thirty Seconds to Mars and the K-pop band ATEEZ in recent years, and is highly familiar with L-Acoustics, having taken Brit Row’s first L-ISA-equipped L Series arena touring system out with Andrea Bocelli earlier in 2025. For Oasis, Webb is tasked with crafting the Soundvision design for each tour stop and rigging the system for FOH engineers Dan Lewis, who mixes Noel and the band, and Sam Parker, who mixes Liam’s vocal and effects.
‘The original system design was done by Dan Lewis and Britannia Row Head of Engineering Josh Lloyd before the tour even went on sale,’ says Webb, who estimates that he gets in 35,000-plus steps a day walking each venue as he’s tuning the system, then again for soundcheck, and finally during the actual gig. ‘I’m tweaking Josh’s original designs to match venue characteristics and any production changes. That said, I have to say that the new version of Soundvision is better than ever. Show consistency with Autofilter is spot on and it’s a vital tool in my workflow. I strive to get that consistent, even frequency response throughout the entire venue, and Autofilter helps me do just that.’
