Cast confirmed as support act on Oasis 2025 reunion tour

In a statement, Cast frontman John Power said: Im 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 peoples dreams. They are the peoples band.

"I've known Noel and Liam all through the years, we go way back. Its 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.”

Noel Gallagher has previously described the Liverpool Britpop band as “cosmic as the day is long” and likened seeing them live to a “religious experience”. Cast were formed in 1992 from the ashes of Powers former band, the Las, and Peter Wilkinson's former band, Shack.

As a fan of the Las, Noel Gallagher invited Cast to support some early Oasis dates, including the show where they were spotted and signed by Polydor. Cast became a regular Oasis support act, including at their famous 1996 Knebworth show.

Casts first album, 1995, All Change, became the highest-selling debut album in Polydor's history. It reached No 7 in the UK album chart; follow-up Mother Nature Calls, in 1997, was their highest-charting at No 3. A third album, Magic Hour, released in 1999, reached No 6, but 2000s Beetroot was a commercial failure, peaking at No 78.

The band split after that album, but reunited in 2010 and continued to release new music and tour.
