News: Cast confirmed As Opening Band For All Oasis UK & Ireland Live ’25 Shows

After Richard Ashcroft proved to be an immensely popular choice as the special guest for the UK and Ireland leg of the Oasis Live ‘25 tour, the line-up is now completed with the news that Cast will open at all nineteen instantly sold-out shows.

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.

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’.

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 – and 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.”
