Oasis' support comes in double from Richard Ashcroft, frontman of The Verve, and Liverpool-based Britpop band Cast.

Fans will be hoping Ashcroft performs some of his biggest hits from The Verve days, including Bitter Sweet Symphony, The Drugs Don't Work and Lucky Man, among others.

More recently, Ashcroft joined Liam on stage at Finsbury Park in 2018, and the two collaborated again in 2022.

John Power, frontman of the '90s indie band Cast, who rose to fame with The La's, also has a long history with Oasis.

Cast shared the stage with the band at one of their legendary Knebworth Park shows in 1996, and more recently supported Liam on his Definitely Maybe 30th anniversary tour in 2024.
