GALLAGHER: The Fall & Rise of Oasis
Book event with author PJ Harrison
Sunday 17 August 2025 - 2pm in the Discovery Zone
​​​​​​​
Join us for an afternoon in-conversation event with author PJ Harrison, discussing his latest book, GALLAGHER: The Fall & Rise of Oasis.
GALLAGHER is PJ’s definitive Oasis biography, chronicling the rise, fall and rise again of one of the world's biggest bands. Focusing on Noel and Liam Gallagher's individual journeys, the biography traces the aftermath of Oasis' breakup in 2009, exploring 15 years of highs and lows. Introducing the band's origin story to a new generation of fans, it chronicles in cinematic detail the events that led both brothers to become formidable solo artists before finding a way to bridge their fraternal rift and stage the biggest comeback of all time.
PJ tells the inside story of how two brothers rose from a council estate in Manchester to create the dominant musical force of their generation throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Through meticulous research, exclusive interviews and inside access, the unique narrative structure explores why they have such enduring legacies, both together and apart. This unique telling of the Oasis story allows fans new and old to draw their own comparisons; casting a new light on how two very different brothers navigated fame, feuds and family to create music history and shocked the world with the reunion nobody thought could happen.
The event will take place in the museum's Discovery Zone. Books will be available to purchase before and after the event from our Merch Store and Star Café.
Tickets £5 (books sold separately).

About the Author​
​
DEFINITELY MAYBE changed PJ Harrison's life. Originally from Merseyside, PJ became a huge fan of Oasis and travelled to watch their concerts throughout his teens, often arriving early to stand in line so he could watch from at the very front. In his twenties, PJ began to work in the music industry, firstly with his own Sony JV record label (in the same group as Oasis' Creation Records) before moving into major label artist management, writing and production. PJ's world began to overlap with that of Oasis. The band took a shine to several artists he managed and took them, and PJ, with them on world tours. During this period of touring Harrison spent almost every day around the band and their crew, getting to know their management and developed friendly relationships with the band.
