It will be available to stream from March 6 to coincide with the album’s release – and you can pre-order your copy here. The album will raise money and awareness for children whose lives have been affected by war and conflict, with Oasis’ contribution to the collaborative charity album arriving nearly thirty years after their involvement in the original ‘Help’ project, which opened with Oasis’ ‘Fade Away’. The 1995 charity album notoriously had Oasis and Blur appear on the same record for the first and last time as they were in the throes of their infamous chart battle, while Paul McCartney, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher and more also recorded a rendition of The Beatles‘ ‘Come Together’ under the name The Smokin’ Mojo Filters.

Recommended Other big names on the album tracklist include Olivia Rodrigo, Blur‘s Graham Coxon, English Teacher, Depeche Mode, Foals, Wet Leg, The Last Dinner Party, Wolf Alice‘s Ellie Rowsell and many more. Meanwhile, James Ford has revealed that some artists refused to be involved in ‘Help(2)’ as they thought it was “too political”. As aforementioned, the record comes decades on from the original and legendary Brian Eno-led 1995 album that featured the likes of Radiohead, Orbital, Portishead, Massive Attack, Suede, Sinéad O’Connor, Manic Street Preachers, The Boo Radleys and more. That album raised over £1.25million and sold over 700,000 copies, and was followed by other charity records including 2002’s ‘1 Love’, 2003’s ‘Hope’, 2005’s ‘Help!: A Day in the Life’ and 2009’s ‘War Child Presents Heroes’.

The original ‘Help’ charity album was reissued and made available on streaming platforms in 2020 to celebrate its 25th anniversary. In October last year, it was then reissued again, this time as a limited, numbered 7” single boxed set in celebration of it turning 30.
