The Battle

The Battle comes to Milton Keynes Theatre – the ultimate Britpop showdown!

London, 1995. Two of Britain’s biggest bands release singles on the same day, sparking the ultimate Britpop showdown.

The Battle
On one side, the polished, art-school intellectuals from the South; on the other, the raw, unapologetic lads from the North. Rivalries ignite, friendships crumble, and a frenzy takes hold – were you Blur or Oasis?

From the chaos of the Brit Awards to the infamous chart war, The Battle is a darkly funny dive into one of rock’s most legendary rivalries. Packed with unforgettable personalities, sharp dialogue, and fierce competitiveness, it’s never just about the music – it’s about power, pride, and the mania that defined a generation. Expect strong language and a high-voltage ride through the feuds, fame, and fallout.
