The event was a collaboration between New York's marketing and tourism organisation and Oasis's US label Warner Brothers. Commuters around Grand Central Station, Times Square, Penn Station and Astor Place were all treated to the buskers' efforts. The event was filmed for a forthcoming Oasis documentary.
