Jarvis Cocker, lead singer of the band Pulp, recently described an Oasis concert as being like a "religious rally" after speaking at a press conference. This came shortly after Pulp's own performance in Glasgow, Scotland, which was relatively well-attended but did not compare to the massive turnout for Oasis. Cocker noted that the entire audience sang every word of every song during the show and expressed amazement at the atmosphere.
Cocker previously criticized the term "Britpop," believing it unfairly constrained indie bands like his own in the 1990s as they gained more mainstream popularity. In an interview, he also stated that he would like to see Oasis again since the band recently announced their Oasis Live '27 world tour, which includes a return performance at Knebworth Park over 30 years after their famous concert there.
Cocker mentioned speaking briefly with Noel Gallagher backstage, who expressed surprise about how enthusiastic the audience was. The event is also featured in Garth Jennings' documentary about Oasis, set to release globally on Mubi on September 25.
