The house featured on the cover of Oasis’s iconic album Definitely Maybe is located in Manchester, England.
The living room of this Victorian-style house – an architectural style from the 19th century – is where the Oasis members took the famous photo for their debut album, released in 1994.
The residence, located at 8 Stratford Avenue in the Didsbury neighborhood, a suburb of Manchester, belonged to guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs.
Another interesting fact that makes this house significant in Oasis history is that much of the music video for “Shakermaker” was filmed in the back garden.
The Oasis members who appear in the video and on the Definitely Maybe cover are the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, along with Bonehead, Paul McGuigan, and Tony McCarroll.
Although it’s not possible to enter the house, many fans of the Manchester band visit the site to see it and take photos. Since it is a private residence, always remember to respect the privacy of the residents and the neighborhood.
Definitely Maybe anniversary with Manchester City
In 2024, Oasis launched several initiatives to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Definitely Maybe, one of which was in collaboration with Manchester City, the favorite football club of the Gallagher brothers.
Definitely City is a special collection inspired by the iconic album cover, designed by Puma in partnership with Noel Gallagher.
Noel has always been vocal about his deep love for the club: “I loved City before anything, I was into City before I was into music, I was into City before I knew what music was”, said the musician in a promotional video for the release of Manchester City’s new jersey, inspired by Oasis and the Definitely Maybe album.
The promotional photos for the 2024/25 Definitely City kit were taken in a living room recreated from the album cover, featuring Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and several players. Noel Gallagher was also present on set.
You can purchase the Definitely City collection and the Manchester City jersey inspired by Oasis and Definitely Maybe on the official Manchester City store.
