Oasis will play their first show in 16 years tomorrow at the sold-out Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with John Power of Cast making an announcement about supporting them.
John Power, a cast member, has provided an update on the Oasis reunion tour that will debut tomorrow. In front of a sold-out crowd as they begin the tour, The Liverpudlian and his bandmates will take to the stage at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on Friday night.
Almost 15 years to the day after fans last saw Noel and Liam Gallagher on stage, the brothers announced last August that they had put their differences aside and would be joining forces again. Now, almost 12 months after that euphoric announcement, the wait is almost over.
Fans would have never anticipated a concert on which they will take to the stage tomorrow to perform some of their biggest hits for the first time in 16 years. The band will perform alongside Richard Ashcroft and Cast throughout Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh, London, and Dublin.

Given that he and his bandmates will be the first performers on the tour, John, 57, has shared his excitement just before the doors open. He declared, “Opening for the Oasis, it’s going to be amazing,” in a statement from Virgin Radio UK. I’m going to hit the first chord of this tour.
“I’m just getting excited right now. The truth is that I sort of take each day as it comes and don’t try to look too far ahead in terms of how I live my life and look at things. Now that Friday is upon us, and the first chord of this tour will be one I hit, there is no doubt about it, though, as you may well know.

“I think it’s going to be quite a moment,” he said, “because Cardiff, Principality Stadium, you know, is a quite place.” The band opened for Liam last year on his Definitely Maybe tour, which marked the 30-year anniversary of Oasis’ debut album of the same name. Cast’s inclusion on the bill comes as a surprise.
Noel had previously claimed that playing the band was similar to a “religious experience.” John mentioned the tour to NME last year, saying, “We’re blown away by it.
We nodded and were waiting for the official announcement. We can now enjoy it. Our peers give us a stamp of approval, which I really appreciate.
He continued, “It kind of confirms our legacy and authenticates the journey we’ve taken as a band.” Now, Richard Ashcroft and Oasis discuss Northern Soul! That lineup is some. “John’s relationship with Oasis dates back many years, having first met him when he was just 16.”
A rebellious Mancuian teen approached him while he was outside smoking and asking for a cigarette while his former band, The Las’s, was playing in Manchester. He said he was having a moment, and he declined. When Oasis released their debut single Supersonic three years later, John went to see them live. He told Mojo, “I went see them.” He continued, “And Liam immediately addressed me and said, “You told me to f**k off!” He must have been around 16 at the time.
The pair continued to laugh at the circumstances, and they have since become close friends.
