While Blur was probably on stage for the last time this year, Oasis have the summer of their lives. A reason for Blur singer Damon Albarn to review the dispute between the two bands again and to draw a clear conclusion.

“I think we can officially say that Oasis simply won the fight, the war, the exchange of blows,” he told the “Sun”. The musician humbly pushed after: “That was clear, right?”
Some time ago it wasn’t. Blur had added a sensitive defeat to Oasis when they deliberately had their album Country House competed with Oasis Roll with it. Albarn and colleagues displaced the Gallagher brothers from the charts.
Blur vs. oasis
Lately Blur has achieved a nice comeback, which also had a special highlight with her Wembley appearances, but as the band was now visualized, the popularity of Oasis cannot be beat.
With a view to their “Live ’25” tour, Albarn now said that he was “happy” to hand over the crown. “They are the winners. They come first. In view of this overwhelming evidence, I would be happy to accept the defeat,” he said. “It’s her summer and God bless them. I hope everyone has a wonderful time, but I will be in a completely different place.”
A few weeks ago, the Blur front man described the Oasis return as a “good thing”. Now he also expressed himself about the tour: “I couldn’t play as many concerts as you. These are always very similar emotions. They are very brave and I hope it is worth it. After all, money is not everything.”
While Oasis continue to perform live in her hometown Manchester, Damon Albarn concentrates on his latest project with Africa Express without Blur.
