The collection of recordings and memorabilia compiled by former sound engineer Huw Richards is estimated to fetch up to £1.6 million.
An archive containing more than 100 hours of unreleased Oasis recordings is set to go up for auction on Oct. 3 through Littleton Auctions in Worcestershire. Estimated to be worth between £1.2 million and £1.6 million ($1,601,268 to $2,135,024 USD), the collection was gathered by Huw Richards, who served as the band’s sound engineer from 1994 to 2001, and is being put up for sale by his son, Owain Richards. Described as the only known master archive of its kind from the group, the collection features 63 live shows and soundchecks recorded directly from the mixing desk—including the sole recording of their 1996 concert at Loch Lomond in Scotland—along with rehearsal tapes, raw conversations between Noel and Liam Gallagher, handwritten setlists, tour itineraries, guitars, tour parkas, and a rare pair of Adidas sneakers gifted to Noel Gallagher.
In addition to the auction news, Oasis has announced a 38-show tour for 2027 across nine countries, featuring support from Richard Ashcroft. In an interview with writer Steven Knight for the documentary film Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, Noel Gallagher shared that he initially expected the group to play arenas rather than stadiums, noting he was unprepared for the massive wave of public interest in the band’s return.
