Liam Gallagher hits back at critics of Oasis for not booking young bands as tour support: “There’s levels to this game”
Liam Gallagher has addressed the fans who are unhappy with Oasis not booking younger bands for a support slot.After weeks of speculation about who’ll be supporting them on their reunion tour, they confirmed Richard Ashcroft as a special guest for their 2025 UK and Ireland reunion tour earlier this month.The former frontman of The Verve is set to open for the Britpop band on each date of the trek next summer, which includes seven nights at London’s Wembley Stadium and five gigs at Manchester’s Heaton Park.The news came after recent reports suggested that Ashcroft and Cast (who have not yet been announced) would join the Gallaghers on the road for Oasis Live ’25.In a statement about the forthcoming massive support slots, Ashcroft said: “As a fan from day one I was buzzing for many reasons when the news of Oasis’ return was announced.“I can say with no exaggeration that the songwriting talent of Noel and Liam’s pure spirit as a lead singer helped to inspire me to create some of my best work.

William John Paul Gallagher (born 21 September 1972) is an English singer and songwriter.

One of the most recognisable figures in British music, he is noted for his outspoken and abrasive manner; penchant for wearing parkas; distinctive singing style, in which he elongates vowels; and signature stance on stage, which consists of him holding his arms behind his back and singing up into a downward-facing microphone.
