Ask anyone who was at the Heineken Festival in 1994 and they will say the same thing
It was also the summer when a little known band called Oasis played a free music festival on Avenham Park in Preston . As the first year of sixth form drew to a close, the buzz around college was who would be at the Heineken Festival this year.
Topping the bill were The Boo Radleys. It was a year later when they released their biggest hit, Wake Up Boo, catapulting them from college corridors and sticky dancefloors to prime time radio shows. As the evening wore on there were sets from Furburger and Back To The Planet, before Oasis took the main supporting slot. They had been billed in NME and Melody Maker as a band to look out for but no-one there that night really realised they were watching history in the making.
Towards the end of Oasis' set the real drama unfolded when a man, clearly feeling the effect of the 89p cans, climbed on top of the marquee. As security climbed up after him a Benny Hill style chase carried on atop the canvas, to cheers from the watching crowd.
