Blossoms tease Oasis 2025 reunion tour support slot as their ‘bags are packed’
A sizable band has suggested they could play as Oasis’ reunion tour’s supporting band.
Due to the fact that they have Oasis as one of their main influences on their own music, Manchester band Blossoms are very excited about Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher’s reunion. Oasis Live’s 25 dates have sold out in the UK and Ireland, but Blossoms are ready to “smash it” if they get the call.
When asked if the band could be offered a support slot by NME, frontman Tom Ogden said: “Nothing has been discussed, nothing has been asked, I don’t think they’ll sort it out until next year. It’s sold out. They don’t need to announce the supports”.
“I’d like to speculate as to why our name might be included.” Never have we resisted expressing how much they have influenced us. We were 16 when we went to see them in Heaton Park, and we kind of know both of them. I’m not going to get my hopes up, though, because, at the end of the day, it’s up to them. If we get asked, the bags are packed, and we’d smash it”.
Tom admits he wouldn’t have believed it if someone had told him when he was a teenager that his band would achieve these things that Blossoms has previously supported as well as playing their own massive headline concerts.
He said: “Our mantra was instilled into us from Oasis. I remember hearing those songs being sung in the biggest stadiums as a child. That’s what I wanted. Ten years on, to have done Wythenshawe, to have opened for The Stone Roses and to have your name brought up within the Oasis stuff, if you’d have told me that when I was 16, I’d have been like, ‘ What? ‘. Before we even started playing band, we witnessed them. I would not have believed you.
Oasis frontman Liam, 52, has teased Richard Ashcroft, Blur and the Manic Street Preachers as being potential support acts. The “Live Forever” singer recently responded to fans’ inquiries on X about who could play alongside him and his brother Noel, 57, and he acknowledged that having former Verve frontman Richard perform at the stadium shows “would be BIBLICAL” in response.
In response to a fan’s suggestion that Damon Albarn, 56, and his band should play Oasis’ former rivals, Liam said: “I love blur and at some point we have to do n old dears tours. (sic)” He then added: “Richard Ashcroft or Manic street preachers as support”, before adding shortly after “the manics it is”.
