The Battle is coming to Festival Theatre in 2026!
The Battle is a razor-sharp, hilarious deep dive into the 1995 Britpop chart clash between Blur and Oasis. Based (mostly) on true events and written by bestselling author John Niven, this riotous new comedy captures the rivalry, pride, and chaos of the era that redefined UK music. Directed by Matthew Dunster, the play unleashes the iconic war of words, styles, and egos in a battle for chart dominance and cultural relevance.
