Landrover Defender Announced as Official Automotive Partner for Oasis Live ’25 Global Tour

Overview

The iconic British adventure brand Defender has been named the official automotive partner of the long-awaited Oasis Live ’25 global tour. The partnership sees Defender support the legendary band across all 41 tour dates in 17 venues across ten countries, beginning this Friday in Cardiff, Wales, and continuing through to São Paulo, Brazil in November.

As part of the campaign, Defender has commissioned a striking piece of street art in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter to celebrate the collaboration. Located at 60 Shudehill, the 18.5-metre-high mural pays tribute to both the band and the vehicle, featuring the upcoming Defender OCTA Black - a new high-performance 4x4 variant set to launch on Friday 4 July.

The partnership is a natural fit for two British icons known for pushing boundaries, with Defender lending both rugged capability and bold presence to the Oasis tour. The vehicle will accompany the band throughout the international leg of the tour, symbolising freedom, endurance, and innovation - qualities central to both brands.

Defender has used this opportunity not only to celebrate a shared heritage but also to promote the next chapter in its evolution. The Defender OCTA Black features enhanced off-road performance and a bold new design, further solidifying the model’s reputation as a go-anywhere, do-anything hero of the modern Land Rover line-up.
