Oasis to feature on War Child HELP(2) album with live version of “Acquiesce”

“Acquiesce (Live from Wembley Stadium, 28 September ‘25)” will be available as an exclusive 7” single enclosed within the gatefold of the vinyl edition of HELP(2), as a hidden track on the double CD version, and it will be available to stream from 6 March — coinciding with the album’s release.

“Acquiesce” was originally released in 1995 as a B-Side to “Some Might Say”, Oasis’ first UK number-one single, and the live recording was taken on the final night of their seven-night run at Wembley Stadium last year. It will be the first physical release of a live recording from the tour, with their contribution to HELP(2) arriving nearly thirty years after their involvement in the original HELP project, which opened with Oasis’ track “Fade Away”. Noel Gallagher also appeared as one third of The Smokin’ Mojo Filters alongside Paul McCartney and Paul Weller.

“Acquiesce (Live from Wembley Stadium, 28 September ‘25)” follows previous releases “Helicopters” by Ezra Collective & Greentea Peng, “Begging For Change” by Pulp, “Opening Night” by Arctic Monkeys, “Flags” by Damon Albarn, Grian Chatten & Kae Tempest, and “Let’s Do It Again!” by The Last Dinner Party.

The HELP(2) album is a collaborative release inspired by the 1995 landmark release HELP, which was made to engage audiences in the work that War Child does to deliver immediate aid, education, specialist mental health support, and protection to children affected by conflict around the world.

HELP(2) features contributions from Arctic Monkeys, Anna Calvi, Arlo Parks, Arooj Aftab, Bat For Lashes, Beabadoobee, Beck, Beth Gibbons, Big Thief, Black Country, New Road, Cameron Winter, Damon Albarn, Depeche Mode, Dove Ellis, Ellie Rowsell, English Teacher, Ezra Collective, Foals, Fontaines D.C., Graham Coxon, Greentea Peng, Grian Chatten, Kae Tempest, King Krule, Nilüfer Yanya, Olivia Rodrigo, Pulp, Sampha, The Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg and Young Fathers.
