Be Here Now. The new novel from Paul Carroll – available from 29th May 2025.
- Perfectly timed for this summer’s Oasis comeback tour, Be Here Now is a wicked send-up of today’s over-hyped music festivals
- Corporate rock, fan rip-offs, festival sponsorship and greenwashing all get their comeuppance in this entertaining page turner
- Despite it all, the music still manages to energise the dedicated fans (many of whom have worries other than Oasis on their middle-aged minds)
When Oasis reform for a one-off gig on a wind turbine eco-island in the middle of the North Sea, it’s billed as the greenest live music event of all time.
The stakes are high for all involved, but it turns out some of the festivalgoers have bigger personal problems to deal with than the survival of the planet.
Rachel, for one, on a trial break from her husband. The gang of four middle-aged Manc mates trying to re-capture their youth. Not to mention a bunch of activists who plan to disrupt the gig.
Can such an ambitious event live up to the hype? (And has anybody checked the weather forecast?)
