The Standing on the Shoulder of Giants Tour was a concert tour by English band Oasis, which took place in 1999–2001. The tour was in promotion of their fourth studio album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. This is the band's first world tour with the rhythm guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell, as both of them replacing Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan in their respective position.

History

After a disagreement within the band Noel left the tour after 24 May 2000, quitting overseas touring with Oasis. He only returned for shows within the United Kingdom and Ireland, before re-joining the band fully after the tour had ended.^[1]^[2]

The live album Familiar to Millions was recorded at the two concerts at Wembley Stadium. Due to Liam being drunk at the second concert, voiceovers were used from concerts in Yokohama. The second Wembley Stadium concert was also broadcast worldwide the same evening.^[3]^[4]

Noel Gallagher dedicated the song "Hey Hey My My" to Kurt Cobain when they played in his hometown of Seattle on the sixth anniversary of his death.

Four warm up dates took place in the United States in December 1999, before the main tour started.^[5]
