An outdoor photography exhibition has opened at Wembley Park, offering an intimate and rarely seen portrait of Liam and Noel Gallagher during their formative years with Oasis.
Titled Brothers: Liam and Noel Through the Lens of Kevin Cummins, the exhibition presents more than 20 large-format images of the Gallagher siblings, captured by British music photographer Kevin Cummins in 1994, just before the release of Definitely Maybe. The show coincides with the highly anticipated Oasis reunion concerts taking place this summer and runs until the end of September.
Displayed across key landmarks in Wembley Park, including Olympic Way, the OVO Arena Wembley, and opposite Wembley Stadium itself, the photographs provide fans and visitors with a unique window into the early relationship between the famously fiery brothers, revealing a more tender and reflective side to the pair.

Early Oasis moments revealed
The photographs, many drawn from Cummins’ personal archive and his 2023 book ‘Oasis: The Masterplan’, were originally commissioned by Creation Records as part of a broader effort to shape Oasis’s visual identity. Taken across various UK and European locations, the images reflect a pivotal moment in British pop history as Oasis began their meteoric rise.
Highlights of the exhibition include rare behind-the-scenes shots from Oasis’s first studio session at Sly Street Studio, candid images from hotel rooms and tour buses, and the now-iconic portraits of Liam and Noel wearing matching Manchester City shirts emblazoned with the word ‘Brother.’
Other photographs capture Noel alone in Amsterdam after the band was deported for fighting football fans, and the brothers playfully jumping aboard a No.73 bus in London.
Kevin Cummins, best known for his work with Joy Division, The Smiths, and New Order, said the exhibition is part of a larger return to Oasis world, comparing this cultural moment to the band’s original mid-’90s peak.
“It’s the most exciting event of the year, and we’re lucky enough to be part of it,” Cummins said. “The gigs will be great. The mood is great. And I love the idea that those of us who were there the first time round are sharing it with younger fans seeing the band for the first time.”
Curated by Claudio Giambrone, Head of Cultural Programming at Wembley Park, the exhibition is positioned as a tribute not just to Oasis’s music, but to the emotional complexity of sibling bonds.
“These photographs reveal moments of humour, tension, closeness and trust,” said Giambrone. “We wanted to show a different side to the Gallaghers,not the usual narrative of conflict, but the emotional depth and connection that Kevin captured so clearly.”
Brothers forms part of the Wembley Park Art Trail, a growing collection of public artworks and installations that includes tributes to Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, and a Square of Fame honouring music legends such as Madonna, George Michael and Dolly Parton.
The exhibition is free and open to the public until September 30 2025.
