Oasis' Noel and Liam Gallagher

Oasis 2025 support acts confirmed in full as 90s band join Richard Ashcroft on reunion tour

by · ChronicleLive

The support line-up for Oasis hotly anticipated reunion tour has now been confirmed in full, with a 90s band joining Verve legend Richard Ashcroft on the bill for the stadium dates next summer.

As soon as Oasis announced, after a lot of speculation, that they would be getting back together to tour across the world, rumours started on who would be chosen to open for then, as current acts like Blossoms, The Courteeners and Kasabian were made the big favourites.

Richard Ashcroft, the voice of 90s anthems like Bittersweet Symphony and The Drugs Don't Work, was also put into the frame, with that prediction proving to be spot on as he was officially confirmed as a support act for Oasis earlier this month. And, after Liam Gallagher actually replied to a fan on X to say it would be Richard and Cast who'd be joining them on tour, Cast have now also joined the line-up.

The Liverpool band, fronted by John Power were one of the leading lights of the mid-90s Britpop scene in the UK, with infectious songs like Finetime, Alright and Guiding Star. Their other hits include Walkaway and their biggest single, Flying, which reached number 4 in October 1996.

Delighted to be opening for Oasis, frontman John said: "I’m blown away at the reunion. Oasis are the voice of a generation and the songs that they wrote and sung were and still are the soundtrack to many people’s dreams. They are the people’s band."

He added: "I’ve known Noel and Liam all through the years, we go way back. It’s been some ride, some journey. I’ve felt and known their music personally, as a fan. It inspired me as songwriter, it blew the whole scene open like nothing before and it reached way beyond the stratosphere."

He added ""Everything changed. We were all part of that and we will all be part of this. I’m especially looking forward to revisiting my family’s Irish roots when the tour hits Dublin. Let the opening chords shimmer and shine next July"

The UK and Ireland leg of the Oasis reunion tour will kick off in Cardiff, before the band play numerous dates in cities like London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin.
