Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher has created a six-hour version of the Manchester group’s rock ’n’ roll anthem Champagne Supernova.
The lengthy ambient version of the track will be aired at an upcoming photography exhibition at London's National Portrait Gallery.
Already one of Oasis’ longest songs, Noel has now exceeded that record with the creation of a six-hour version of the classic track.
Gallagher, 57, has created the new version of the enduring song as an ambient mixed track for a new exhibition at London’s National Portrait Gallery.
The Legends exhibition will open on November 29 and run until March 2, featuring more than 100 portraits of figures from the worlds of art, fashion, business, and entertainment taken by photographer Zoë Law.
Alongside images of England World Cup winner Sir Bobby Charlton, the exhibition will also feature images of actress Kim Cattrall, actor Orlando Bloom, and Gallagher himself. It also features a portrait of Sienna Miller who is seen holding the 1967 Epiphone guitar which Gallagher used during the writing of Champagne Supernova.
Originally released in 1995 as the closing track to the Oasis What’s the Story) Morning Glory? album, Champagne Supernova was issued as the record’s sixth and final single in 1996.
News of the extended ambient version of the track is the latest in a year filled with Oasis headlines, largely thanks to the British group’s unexpected reunion earlier this year.
A series of 2025 shows across the UK including a trio of shows at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield stadium, which sold out instantly, are planned.
Despite the level of international excitement the reunion has inspired, Oasis’ upcoming tour dates have drawn criticism over their decision to allow dynamic pricing which meant some fans paid hundreds of pounds more than the face value of the original tickets, despite going through the official channels.

The backlash from UK fans was so intense that upon the announcement of their US tour dates that Oasis issued a statement noting the practice would not be used for their North American dates.
“It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable,” they said in a mealy mouthed statement.
“But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.”
