Oasis tribute band's delight at Boxpark gig

Supernova, an Oasis tribute band made up of musicians from Worcestershire and Shropshire, recently had the opportunity of a lifetime. They performed at Boxpark, a popular entertainment venue near Wembley Stadium in London, just before the highly anticipated Oasis reunion concert on July 25. The band, named after the famous Oasis song 'Champagne Supernova,' usually plays in smaller bars and clubs, but this time they found themselves in front of thousands of excited fans.

Joe Birchley, the lead singer who grew up in Worcester, described the experience as 'monumental. ' He said the noise and energy from the crowd were overwhelming, unlike anything he had ever experienced before. Fans from all over the world had come to London for the Oasis concert, and many of them were thrilled to see Supernova perform. One fan flew in from New Zealand to celebrate his 21st birthday, while a couple from Kentucky in the United States enjoyed the band's performance so much that they asked Supernova to play at their wedding. Another memorable moment was when a man proposed to his girlfriend on Wembley Way and also wanted the band to perform at their wedding. Joe and the rest of Supernova were delighted by the warm and enthusiastic response from the audience.

The Oasis reunion tour has brought a lot of attention to tribute bands like Supernova. Since the announcement of the tour, Supernova has seen a significant increase in bookings and interest from fans. Their performance at Boxpark was their biggest commercial achievement so far. Joe Birchley said that even playing at a famous festival like Glastonbury would not compare to the excitement and honor of performing at Boxpark before the Oasis concert. He explained, 'We were the pre-event support act at Boxpark, in the fanzone, at Wembley Stadium, as Oasis returned to Wembley for the first time since 2009. That is something you just can't beat.

Supernova is set to return to Boxpark in September to perform before two more Oasis concerts at Wembley. The band is excited about the future and grateful for the new opportunities that have come their way. They hope to continue sharing their love for Oasis's music with fans from all over the world. The story of Supernova's big moment at Boxpark shows how tribute bands can play an important role in bringing people together and keeping the spirit of legendary bands alive.
