Fancy A Proper Britpop Night Out? Oasis Are (Sort Of) Back In Silsden

Right then. Let's be honest, everyone’s going a bit mad about the big Oasis reunion tour, aren't they? Getting tickets feels like trying to find a unicorn. But what if you could get that same electric feeling, that wall of sound, and all the classic tunes without having to sell a kidney? Well, you’re in luck. The next best thing is coming to Silsden Town Hall, and it’s going to be massive.

Get ready for a proper night of Britpop mayhem. We’re talking about a night that captures the very essence of the 90s, packed with pure nostalgia and sing-along anthems. Mark your calendars for Saturday, 17th January 2026, because you won’t want to miss this.

Back to the 90s with some proper Mancunian style

Remember the 90s? The bucket hats, the parkas, and the music. Oh, the music. It was the era of Britpop, when British bands ruled the world, and at the top of the pile were two brothers from Manchester. The Gallagher brothers. Their band, Oasis, wasn’t just a band; it was a cultural phenomenon. They had the swagger, the tunes, and that unmistakable attitude that you just couldn't ignore.

That whole vibe, that raw energy, is exactly what tribute band Fakermaker are bringing to Silsden. They don't just stand there and play the songs. They bring the full experience, served up with a healthy dose of proper Mancunian style. It’s a chance to relive those glory days, or for younger fans, to get a taste of what made that time so special. It's pure, unfiltered nostalgia, and with the actual Oasis reunion tour causing such a stir, this is the perfect time to get your fix of Gallagher-esque magic.

So, who are Fakermaker?

Imagine the lights go down, a guitar screeches to life, and suddenly you’re hit with the opening chords of a song you know by heart. That’s what you get with Fakermaker. They are widely known as the best Oasis tribute act out there, and for good reason. They are the closest you can get to the real deal, recreating the madness of a '95 Oasis gig with incredible accuracy.

They’re not just a tribute; they’re a time machine. Expect to be screaming along to every word of classics like "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger." And when they launch into the epic anthem "Champagne Supernova," the entire room will be bouncing. This isn't just a concert; it’s an event. It’s about grabbing your mates, getting lost in the music, and belting out those iconic choruses. The Fakermaker show is the ultimate tribute to the mighty Oasis.
