L-Acoustics K Series Concert Sound System a “Rock ’n’ Roll Star” on Oasis Live ’25

MANCHESTER, UK – November 2025 – The reunion tour that defined 2025 is here. Oasis' Live ’25 tour marks the return of Liam and Noel Gallagher to the stage together for the first time in 16 years, delivering 41 sold-out stadium shows across 17 cities worldwide between July 4 and November 23. With three additional shows added due to overwhelming demand, the tour has become the live music event of the year. To accommodate the massive audiences packing stadiums at each stop, Britannia Row Productions, a Clair Global brand, is carrying an L-Acoustics K Series concert sound system.

While this marks Oasis’ first tour with the French loudspeaker manufacturer, L-Acoustics has been part of the Gallagher brothers’ sonic evolution for well over a decade. When Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds launched their touring career in 2011, FOH engineer Dan Lewis specified K1 and K2 arrays with precision-tuned subwoofer arrangements to nail Noel’s signature controlled low-end. Meanwhile, Liam’s solo tours packed the same punch, deploying a K Series setup for his explosive Definitely Maybe 30th anniversary tour in 2024, with K1 over K2 arrays and flown K1-SB subs.

"Supersonic" Stadium System: K1, K2, and KS28 Cardioid Subs

‍For the current Oasis Live ’25 tour, the system deployment is even more grand in scale than either of the siblings’ separate ventures. The rig features main arrays of four L-Acoustics K1-SB subs over 14 K1 over two K2 per side, with left and right hangs of 16 K1-SB subs adjacent to each main, while rear 270° hangs add a dozen more K2 per side. Out-fill hangs were identical to the main arrays for the European run, but the audio crew swapped out the four K1-SB with four K1 in North America due to the higher venue heights. On the ground, four dozen KS28 subs are deployed in 16 stacks of three, all in a cardioid configuration, with six K3 serving as front-fills. Twenty A15 are utilized as out-fills, while another eight A15 are used as FOH shadow-fills.

The tour’s delay system typically consists of four towers of 12 K1 over four K2, although that was upscaled to six towers for the band’s hometown show in Manchester to cover the field. And in venues where a ring delay system can be hung from the stadium roof, between eight and 11 hangs of eight K2 each have been flown. The full system is more than amply driven by an impressive total of 136 LA12X amplified controllers, paired with a P1 processor at FOH, which is primarily used to run an analog backup and for using M1 to tune the system.

The tour’s crew chief and systems engineer, Ben Webb, who has also worked with Peter Gabriel, Thirty Seconds to Mars, and the K-pop band ATEEZ in recent years, is highly familiar with L-Acoustics, having taken Brit Row’s first L-ISA-equipped L Series arena touring system out with Andrea Bocelli earlier in the year. For Oasis, Webb is tasked with crafting the Soundvision design for each tour stop and rigging the system for co-FOH engineers Dan Lewis, who mixes Noel and the band, and Sam Parker, who mixes Liam’s vocal and effects.

Soundvision: “Morning Glory” for a Great Night’s Show

‍“The original system design was done by Dan Lewis and Britannia Row head of engineering Josh Lloyd before the tour even went on sale,” says Webb, who estimates that he gets in 35,000-plus steps a day walking each venue as he’s tuning the system, then again for soundcheck, and finally during the actual gig. “I’m tweaking Josh’s original designs to match venue characteristics and any production changes. That being said, I have to say that the new version of Soundvision is better than ever. Show consistency with Autofilter is spot on and it’s a vital tool in my workflow. I strive to get that consistent, even frequency response throughout the entire venue, and Autofilter helps me do just that.”

“We are also completely outdoors with this run and touring through different climates, which can change drastically from soundcheck to showtime, so Autoclimate has played an integral part in helping us keep that consistency throughout the full show,” he notes, adding that the “optimal delay tower placement” has also kept the sound uniform across the massive stadiums they play. “But, of course, Dan and Sam are both doing an incredible job with the mix, too, which certainly helps achieve that sonic consistency each night.”

Family, “Some Might Say”: L-Acoustics Partnership on the Road

‍Webb credits L-Acoustics as being an ideal equipment vendor to partner with for the tour. “We’ve seen L-Acoustics ‘family’ at different shows all over the place, and it’s been great to meet some new faces and continue to provide feedback to help improve products and workflow,” he says. “They’ve been very supportive and we couldn’t have asked to be treated any better. But my favorite thing about L-Acoustics is that you get out of their systems exactly what you put in, and Liam, Noel, and the rest of the band are delivering an amazing show night after night, which comes through loud and clear.”

Pop the “Champagne Supernova”: Critical and Fan Acclaim

‍The responses from audiences, both online and in person, have been “incredible,” Webb notes. But it’s not just the fans that have been loving how everything sounds—the press have been equally effusive. Rolling Stone praised the band’s sound as “absolutely biblical,” while Vulture noted “the band sounds locked in… the songs crisp and sonorous in the cavernous space.” NME declared “they look cool, sound f***ing amazing,” with The Independent calling it “the rock reunion to end them all.” Pitchfork highlighted “the energy is frenzied and the sound is mammoth,” and The Telegraph described the shows as “magically, exhaustingly uplifting.”
