Greatest Festival Moments in Rock and Roll History: Glastonbury 1994

Oasis at Glastonbury, 1994

Much change was afoot in mid-1990s Great Britain. The political winds shifted from Thatcher to Blair, and Brit Pop became the soundtrack to a reinvigorated sense of identity. On the heels of their debut album, Oasis's performance at Glastonbury affixed the band as the new music centerpoint for a movement and helped kickstart a new generation of U.K. talent.
