Oasis are scheduled to tour Manchester Heaton Park soon, and a full lineup list and set times have been confirmed.
The support acts playing at Heaton Park as part on the Oasis tour in Manchester are sure to delight most fans – as they have regularly played with Oasis in the past.
The first act playing at Oasis Live 25 will be Cast, the Liverpool band formed in 1992 by John Power and best known for their 1995 albums All Change. Speaking about playing on the tour, John told the Mirror he will be their as an Oasis fan as well as playing before them.
The band split up in 2001 but reformed in 2010 and last year they toured as support for Liam Gallagher as he played a Definitely Maybe Oasis tour which fans loved. And now the Manchester frontman has personally got them back for the Oasis shows.
I received a call from a number, and I’ve got Liam and Noel’s numbers and everything, but it was a different number, and I don’t typically respond to them. And when I picked it up, Liam, his wife, Debbie, and Liam were also present. Then Liam, who had just spoken to Noel, said, “You know, we just spoke to our kid,” and he had just discussed it. Would you like to participate in the tour?
I thought, “You know, I think I do actually! ” And after that, we were completely blown away, like the best news we could have anticipated.
He continues, “It’s the biggest tour this year and confirms Cast’s legacy. If there were a Britpop list, the band would not even be on it, as it was in previous years. You are now unable to do it, though. Because it sounds like the biggest band of the time said, “Check this out.”
Cast firmly hold the Oasis seal of approval, with Noel Gallagher previously describing frontman John as being “as cosmic as the day is long.”
Fans can anticipate John to start the concert hall show with “Alright” and “Finetime,” while slow burners like “Sandstorm” and “Walkaway” are perfect for early concert starts in stadiums.
Cast will then travel extensively with dates throughout the year after working with Oasis.
The second and main support act will be Richard Ashcroft, the former Verve frontman. He has been playing alongside Oasis since the Nineties when they began. When they started out Oasis would support The Verve at shows because they were the bigger band.
Regarding the upcoming tour, Richard said, “I believe it to be very important for me.”
“You know, when Oasis supported The Verve in the beginning, it changed, and we supported Oasis at Earls Court, and I’ve since performed with Oasis as a solo artist.”
He went on to tell the Chris Moyles Show on Radio X: “I said to Noel, ‘You know, I think I’m the only person who could go in this slot. Especially for a huge outdoor show, because everyone wants you lot. And unless you’re coming with something, unless you’ve got something to offer, I don’t know what’s gonna happen’.”
Ashcroft, a two-time Ivor Novello Award winner for “Songwriter of the Year” and “Outstanding Contribution to British Music,” has developed into a capable and influential songwriter.
His support slot with the likes of “Better Sweet Symphony,” “The Drugs Don’t Work,” “Lucky Man,” and “Sonnet” is undoubtedly a hit-filled set. His first chapter with The Verve culminated in a remarkable peak with “Urban Hymns.” With 11 x Platinum certifications, these tracks helped make Urban Hymns one of the top-selling albums ever produced in the UK.
This Summer, Ashcroft will play a few headline shows and festivals in addition to the Oasis Live 25 tour.
Oasis have now confirmed via a link on their official website that the gates at Heaton park will open at 3pm. The information is provided on gigsandtours.com which sold tickets for the shows and also states: “The music will finish at 22:30 and food vendors will remain open until 23:00.”
Before the main event of Oasis back on stage for the first time since 2009, both support acts will be expected to play 30-45 minutes on the stage.
Catfish and The Bottlemen’s show ended at 10.30 and went on at 9pm, though Oasis is expected to play a longer set when they played at Heaton Park in June.
Their support band played beforehand from 7:30pm to 8:00pm with DJs. Cast would then take the stage at around 6 p.m., followed by Richard Ashcroft, and Oasis would take the stage at 8 p.m. Liam did this on his Definitely Maybe tour last year, and it’s believed the band will have a DJ playing before the bands.
After the band made announcing their Oasis show on social media, it’s believed some tickets will be available for purchase in the coming days. The tour begins in Cardiff on July 4 and moves on to Manchester before moving to Wembley Stadium in London.
