Oasis hype: Profit from the band's reunion concert and merchandise sales

The much-anticipated Oasis reunion tour is set to bring a wave of excitement not only to music fans but also to various sectors of the economy. According to analysts, retailers selling music merchandise, such as Hot Topic and Amazon, should expect a rise in Oasis-related sales.

James Constantinou, founder of Prestige Pawnbrokers, has stated that Oasis, compared to other music legends like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, has fans willing to pay good money for memorabilia. He suggests comparing data for similar items that have sold online to determine the potential value of Oasis memorabilia.

Items such as original Oasis t-shirts, hoodies, and CDs have been selling for around £500 on certain websites. A guitar display signed by Noel Gallagher sold for £2,495 on eBay in June, even before the tour was announced. One guitar, an Epiphone Les Paul Standard featured in both the music video and iconic cover artwork of Oasis' debut single Supersonic, is expected to fetch between £60,000 to £80,000. Another notable item is Noel's stage-played and owned Epiphone EA-250 Guitar, which is also estimated at between £20,000 to £30,000.

Sotheby's popular culture auction this month features three guitars used by Noel Gallagher on stage and in the recording of Oasis' debut album Definitely Maybe. This resurgence in interest from collectors for Oasis memorabilia could potentially result in monetary value for Oasis merchandise collected during the 1990s and up until 2009.

The UK economy is also expected to benefit from the Oasis reunion tour. Just as the Taylor Swift Eras Tour boosted the UK economy by £1 billion, the Oasis tour could have a similar impact. Premier Inn, the owner of mid-scale and economy hotels in the UK, is likely to attract many concert-goers during the tour.

Moreover, streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music could see increased subscriptions and listening hours due to the tour. Music publishers and record labels owning rights to Oasis's songs, such as Sony and Universal Music Group, may receive a revenue boost from the tour.

Analysts expect the Oasis reunion tour to add to Liam and Noel Gallagher's net worth. Investment in brands associated with the Oasis reunion tour could benefit one's investment portfolio. The CEO of Premier Inn highlighted how quickly tickets for the Eras tour sold out, suggesting a similar surge in bookings can be expected for the Oasis tour.

In conclusion, the Oasis reunion tour is not only a significant event for music fans but also for various sectors of the economy. Whether you're a collector looking to sell your Oasis memorabilia or a business looking to capitalise on the tour, this is an exciting time for all involved.
