Oasis likes major labels…
Turns out the Gallagher brothers and Oasis won’t be pulling any “Radioheads” in the near future, instead choosing to sign a new three-album deal with Sony BMG. The deal will include the much talked about, currently untitled, upcoming seventh studio-album, due out some time in September.
“Oasis are in complete control of their destiny and could have chosen to sign with anyone, or even go it alone, so I am delighted that they have chosen to continue to work with us,” says Sony BMG Music Entertainment U.K. chairman/CEO Ged Doherty.
Oasis and its personal label, Big Brother, will still release any of the band’s future efforts. Sony BMG will handle distribution and marketing needs.
Until the release of any new albums, fans will have to make due with just a select number of tour dates, mostly all in either Canada or Mexico.
