Oasis reveal final support act with 'Irish roots' for UK and Ireland reunion tour - and fans are delighted
With every support act for their reunion tour now in place, Oasis fans are thrilled with what's to come - even if Liam Gallagher did spoil the surprise last week on social media
All Oasis support acts have now been finalised as the countdown to their 2025 tour kicks into overdrive.
Fans are delighted that that indie-rock band Cast will be the final act joining them for their UK and Ireland reunion tour next year. It comes after brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher shared that Richard Ashcroft would join them on stage.
The rest of the line-up for Oasis' hotly anticipated reunion has now been confirmed in full, with a '90s band joining Verve legend, Ashcroft, on the bill for the stadium dates next summer. Liam let the cat out of the bag early on X last week, telling a fan Richard and Cast would be joining them.

Now it's official and fans can't wait. 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.
Richard has an association with Oasis going right back to when they first began in the early 1990s. One of Oasis' first national tours was as support to The Verve back in 1993, often playing to just a few hundred people several months before their debut single Supersonic was released.
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.
