Oasis have shared a ‘Wonderwall’ tribute to England, as the Britpop classic has returned to the charts, over 30 years after its initial release. READ MORE: Oasis live in Cardiff opening night review: a supersonic reunion for a new generation Over the 2026 World Cup, the iconic 1995 track became the unofficial soundtrack for the England team – with Harry Kane and co. coming together at the end of each match to belt it out with fans in the crowd. The team all stood arm-in-arm to sing along following their wins against Croatia, DR Congo, Mexico, Norway, France and more, and the trend saw Kane go viral for singing so loudly that he briefly lost his voice, and for Jordan Henderson injuring his wrist while running to join the team as they sang. Noel Gallagher quickly threw his support behind the track becoming England’s 2026 World Cup anthem, saying the song “belongs to the people”. He also quipped that he “couldn’t believe” that Jude Bellingham really knew the lyrics. Liam also shared his backing, and reacted to the news that ‘Wonderwall’ had seen a 50 per cent spike in streams on Spotify in the UK thanks to the World Cup. As the tournament went on, he even suggested that he was prepared to fly out to New York stadium and sing the song live if England made it to the final. Memories to last a lifetime. pic.twitter.com/pjJMVLSuPp — England (@England) July 21, 2026 Now, following the World Cup coming to an end on Sunday (July 19) – with Spain taking home the trophy for the second time following a 1-0 win against Argentina, and England coming in third after an impressive 6-4 win against France – Oasis have joined forces with the official England Instagram page to share a tribute to the England squad. Recommended The video shows all the key moments from across England’s matches, including their huge win against Mexico, as well as footage of the devoted fans who followed them every step of the way. “It’s just the biggest competition in the world, and you feel that straight away,” Kane can be heard saying in the clip, backed by ‘Wonderwall’. “Every game we’ve had, the support has been incredible”. The footage also includes behind the scenes looks at the team during their training sessions, all the flags on display around the UK, people celebrating together in pubs, a massive singalong of ‘Wonderwall’ in New York’s Times Square, and people taking part in the dance trend started by John Stones. @stayalleined In the postgame locker room after England’s massive win over Mexico in the FIFA World Cup, English player John Stones faked a shoulder injury before fist pumping to ANOTR x 54 Ultra’s Talk To You ⚽️ 🎥 @England #worldcup #england #anotr #housemusic ♬ original sound – Alleined “Fight with us and bite your nails in front of the TV,” manager Thomas Tuchel is heard saying. “Thank you for that [support], and I promise we will keep on pushing”. Check it out above. The video in collaboration with Oasis comes following ‘Wonderwall’ returning to the charts again, over three decades since its first release. After the resurgence of the track thanks to the World Cup, the single has re-entered the US Billboard Hot 100 at Number 27 – thanks to 8.7million US streams over the past week. That figure is a 73 per cent increase to that of the week prior (via Consequence) and marks the first time it has been on the US charts since its 20-week run in 1996. In the UK, the song has made its way onto the Top 10 of the Official Charts – currently sat at Number Eight. At the midway point for this week, it looks like Sam Fender and Olivia Dean may stay at Number One for the 18th week with ‘Rein Me In’, although they are facing tough competition from Dutch dance duo ANOTR. The latter are moving up the charts thanks to the aforementioned viral video of John Stones – where he pretended to have injured his shoulder in the locker room, before breaking out into a dance, backed by the duo’s song ‘Talk To You ft. 54 Ultra’. Ahead of the semi-final game against Argentina, where England suffered a 2-1 defeat, Liam continued to share his high hopes for the England team, saying that they “gotta make it happen.” After the match, the singer then shared his support for the players, and suggested that the England team would have a better chance at winning if they could “run wild”. In other Oasis news, their album ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ has been named as the UK’s official biggest studio album of all time. The band have also responded to fans’ requests for a new Oasis album, saying that new music isn’t on the way anytime soon, and are rumoured to be gearing up for a huge UK and European tour in 2027, which could include Manchester residency and a return to Knebworth. A documentary about the ‘Live ‘25’ tour is also on the way, and the first trailer for their “landmark” new Steven Knight-directed documentary arrived exactly one year after shows kicked off in Cardiff. Don’t Look Back In Anger will be released in cinemas and on IMAX on September 11, before becoming available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu around the world at a later date in 2026.
