by · Manchester Evening News

Oasis have today confirmed the full line-up of support acts that will be joining them on the UK and Ireland leg of their huge reunion tour. Liam and Noel Gallagher sent fans into a frenzy after announcing their Oasis comeback which will now span a world tour across 2025.

While the support acts have been rumoured for a while, the band has now officially confirmed the guest stars joining them for their huge stadiums and outdoor shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Dublin and Edinburgh in the summer.

After confirming Wigan's finest Richard Ashcroft last week, Oasis have now added their opening act for the shows. And it will be Liverpool indie legends Cast famed for hits like Finetime and Alright.

In a statement released today, the band say: "The the line-up is now completed with the news that Cast will open at all nineteen instantly sold-out shows." It suggests that no further names will now be added to the bill.

Oasis has faced criticism from some quarters for not including up-and-coming bands to the line-up. But Liam Gallagher hit back at those critics last week saying on his X account: "To all the folk who are crying about us not showing love to the young bands and not letting them support there's LEVELS to this game and I'm afraid 99 p cent of ya are way off."

The announcement of Cast today comes with further details on the long connection between the two north west bands. Cast firmly have the Oasis seal-of-approval with Noel Gallagher previously describing frontman John Power as being : "as cosmic as the day is long."

Liam is also a big fan and chose Cast to join his ‘Definitely Maybe’ arena tour this past summer. The statement added: "You only need to scratch the surface of Cast’s vast discography to see why the Gallaghers are such fans.

"Early, high-energy hits like ‘Alright’ and ‘Finetime’ are sure to fire up audiences from the outset, while anthemic slowburners such as ‘Sandstorm’ and ‘Walkaway’ are built for the biggest of stages. What’s more, their recent album ‘Love Is The Call’ more than matches the standard of their original era with highlights such as the title track, ‘Tomorrow Call My Name’ and ‘Faraway’."

Cast frontman John Power said he was delighted to join Oasis on the upcoming tour. He 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.

"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 adventures between Oasis and Cast have always been innately intertwined. Even before forming the band, Liam had been a huge fan of John’s previous group The La’s and rated them as equal to The Stone Roses.

John and the Gallaghers were soon acquaintances, and their shared trail caught fire as ‘Supersonic’ sent Oasis stratospheric. It was around this time that Oasis offered Cast a support slot after admiring John’s demos which became their debut album ‘All Change’.

That show was where Cast were spotted and then promptly signed by Polydor. Cast went on to play at numerous legendary Oasis gig highlights, from Paris to Irving Beach, Loch Lomond to Knebworth.

The statement added: "Now that Oasis have reformed, it feels like Cast are the perfect choice to play such a momentous occasion."

Still featuring fellow founder members Liam ‘Skin’ Tyson (guitar) and Keith O’Neill (drums), Cast were one of the biggest bands of their era with three Top 10 albums which all reached Platinum or Silver certification, as well as seven Top 10 singles. This year’s ‘Love Is The Call’ achieved their strongest chart positions (#22 Official Albums, #3 Independent Albums, #5 Album Sales) and critical acclaim in 25 years, with MOJO praising its “Brit Invasion melodies, thrusting rockabilly guitars, and lyrics that find hope in seaport-based fantasy and the power of connection.”
