Cover band Supersonic leaned into the mania on Friday night with a set at the legendary Whisky a Go Go, and just 15 minutes down Sunset Blvd at the Musichead Gallery a retrospective of classic Oasis photography by legendary British photographer Kevin Cummins showed fans a different side of brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. 

RANGE had the chance to preview the exhibition personally with Cummins before the doors opened. “We’re living in a really awful period at the moment, where you’ve got certain politicians trying to fracture society enormously,” Cummins says. “And these Oasis gigs have actually given people something to look forward to and bring communities together. It’s been the event of the summer in England and now, as we’re seeing, the rest of the world as well.”

The line for the Oasis Live ’25 shop in Hollywood might have been running 500 people deep all weekend long, but Oasismania turned LA into more than a weekend of nostalgia. Fans also got a crash course in the local rock and roll ecosystem, one that has shaped music culture for decades. 

From historic venues to iconic Sunset Strip hangouts, here are six stops every music fan should tack onto their next rock and roll adventure in Los Angeles.

The GRAMMY Museum

For the Oasis faithful, the GRAMMY Museum is like a holy library of music history. Tucked downtown at L.A. Live, the four-floor space features ever-changing exhibitions, interactive recording booths, and a permanent shrine to legends who shaped the very industry Oasis stormed into in the ’90s. While there may not be a “Wonderwall” installation (yet), the museum offers context for how the Britpop phenomenon fits into a global story of sound and swagger. Pro tip: Admission is included with the purchase of a CityPASS. Spend an hour in the archives before heading off to your next pint — it’s like a crash course in why LA is still the music capital of the West. (800 W Olympic Blvd.)

Whisky a Go Go

Things have come a long way for Oasis since their Whisky debut in 1994, but few venues drip more rock and roll mythology than this iconic venue. From The Doors to Guns N’ Roses, the Sunset Strip club has hosted legends before they broke — and it’s where Oasismania got an extra shot of adrenaline thanks to Supersonic’s tribute show the same weekend Oasis took over the Rose Bowl. For Britpop fans, the Whisky A Go Go is the perfect blend of grit and glamour, a place to down a whiskey (naturally) while you picture Liam on stage circa 1994 snarling into the mic while the band fumbles their way through “Rock and Roll Star.” The vibe itself is pure history: sticky floors, neon glow, and the ghosts of a thousand anthems still rattling around the rafters. (8901 Sunset Blvd.)

Rainbow Bar & Grill

If the Whisky is where you catch the show, the Rainbow is where you close the night. Since the ’70s, the Rainbow Bar & Grill has been the rock and roll canteen of Los Angeles, with regulars ranging from Lemmy to Led Zeppelin. For Oasis fans making the pilgrimage, it’s the kind of joint where you can imagine Liam propping up the bar, pint in hand, trading stories with the ghosts of Sunset Strip’s wildest nights. (9015 Sunset Blvd.)

Chateau Marmont

Infamy meets indulgence at the Chateau Marmont. Oasis, along with countless other bands, have called this Hollywood hideaway home while wreaking havoc on the Strip. Part hotel, part urban legend, it’s a spot where music history and tabloid scandal rub shoulders over martinis by the pool. Even if you’re not checking in, a drink at the bar or brunch in the hotel’s lush garden patio offers a magical glimpse into the decadent lifestyle Oasis no doubt is still leaning into. (8221 Sunset Blvd.)

Amoeba Music

The mecca of record shopping, Amoeba is a one-stop shop for music obsessives. Its sprawling Hollywood location stocks every vinyl, CD, cassette, and box set imaginable. A crate-digger’s dream, Oasis fans can hunt down Japanese imports, rare 12-inches, while revelling in the shared passion that still drives record culture. With in-store performances and a staff that visibly lives and breathes music, it’s pretty hard to go in here without adding at least one new album to your collection. (6200 Hollywood Blvd.)

KA’TEEN

Every epic stadium show needs proper pre-show fuel, and KA’TEEN delivers it with a Mexican flare worthy of rock stars. Tucked just off Hollywood Boulevard, this jungle-like oasis from celebrity chef Wes Avila sets the tone for a night of rock and roll swagger. Fans can sip mezcal cocktails under the twinkle lights, dive into fresh ceviche or flame-grilled tacos, and channel their inner Gallagher with a touch of glamour. It’s the kind of spot where you half expect to see Noel brooding in a corner booth, plotting setlists — or in our case, a table of fans toasting “Live Forever” before heading to the Rose Bowl.
