Legendary Liverpool band Cast announced as support for Oasis UK tour
2 months ago
Liverpool legends Cast have been announced as the support act for all upcoming UK and Ireland tour dates with Oasis.
Known for hits like “Alright,” “Walkaway,” and “Fine Time,” Cast is a perfect pairing to open for the legendary Oasis, with both bands epitomising the sound that defined British rock in the ’90s.
Formed in 1992 by John Power, formerly of The La’s, Cast quickly rose to fame with their debut album, All Change.
Their dynamic mix of rock led them to become one of the UK’s most loved bands of the ‘90s.
Now, joining Oasis, Cast brings this timeless sound to life once more for fans and new listeners alike.
Oasis will hit Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin in the summer of 2025. Their only shows in Europe next year, this will be one of the biggest live moments and hottest tickets of the decade.
The Oasis live experience is unlike anything else. The roar that greets them as they step on stage. A set full of wall-to-wall classics. The spine-tingling sensation of being in a crowd singing back every word. And especially the charisma, spark and intensity that only comes when Liam and Noel Gallagher are on-stage together.
The brothers have flourished with their own projects since the band split in 2009, with ten UK #1 albums between them as well as countless festival headline sets and stadium and arena shows. But Oasis is something else. There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion – just the gradual realisation that the time is right. Yet the timing must be a subconscious influence. This Thursday represents thirty years to the day since their electrifying debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’ was released, while 2025 will see the equally essential second record ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ reach that same anniversary.
Formed in Manchester, the band quickly became one of the biggest cultural phenomenons of the era as ‘Definitely Maybe’ became the fastest-selling debut album in British history – and has since reached 17 x Platinum in recognition of 5 million+ domestic sales. All seven of their studio albums went straight to #1, as did their 2010 compilation ‘Time Flies…’. Their catalogue of features eight #1 singles, from ‘Some Might Say’ to ‘The Importance of Being Idle’, as well as another fifteen Top 10 hits.
That huge following translated to the live arena, most famously playing to 125,000 people each night during two shows at Knebworth. Other big moments included two headline sets at Glastonbury in 1995 and 2004; huge homecoming shows at Manchester City’s Maine Road stadium; and a run of Wembley Stadium gigs which were documented in the live album ‘Familiar To Millions’.
Their accolades have included six BRIT Awards, including the Outstanding Contribution to British Music, two Ivor Novellos, and seventeen NME Awards.
