Dig Out Your Soul is the seventh studio album by English rock band Oasis, and the last before their 15-year breakup from August 2009 to August 2024. It was released on 6 October 2008 by Big Brother Recordings. The album was recorded between August and December 2007 at Abbey Road Studios in London, and mixed in January and March 2008 at The Village Recorder in Los Angeles. Production was handled by Dave Sardy who had previously produced much of the group's sixth studio album, Don't Believe the Truth (2005). Lead guitarist Noel Gallagher wrote a majority of the songs, while three were written by Liam Gallagher as well as one contribution each from Gem Archer and Andy Bell.

The album was supported by three singles. The first single, "The Shock of the Lightning", was released shortly before the release of the album, on 29 September 2008. In addition to the standard release, there was also a limited edition boxset containing the album on CD, a bonus disc containing extra material and remixes, a DVD with a documentary of the making of the album, four 12" vinyl discs that contained all the music from the CDs cut in high-quality 45rpm and a hardback book of album artwork.

Dig Out Your Soul received positive reviews from critics for its harder rock and psychedelic rock sound that the band created, and it was a commercial success. The album was supported by the Dig Out Your Soul Tour, debuting in Seattle at the WaMu Theater, and continuing for eighteen months. In August 2009, after nearly completing the British part of the tour, (they also cancelled their appearance at the second leg of the V festival in Chelmsford being replaced by Snow Patrol), the brothers argued backstage at the Rock en Seine festival near Paris, cancelling their appearance and the rest of the tour, with Noel Gallagher later announcing that he had left the band.^[1]
