Liam Gallagher Teases 'Quite a Few More' Support Acts
Liam Gallagher says more Oasis support acts are coming for Live '27, with Richard Ashcroft still the only confirmed opener. What we know so far.
More support acts are coming for Oasis Live ‘27, according to Liam Gallagher. He told fans on X that “there’s quite a few more support acts to be announced”, while Richard Ashcroft remains the only confirmed opener today. The tease arrived with no names attached, no announcement date and no promoter statement behind it at all.
The post landed on 28 September 2026, one day after the tour sold out. Fans had pressed Liam on the support bill during a long question and answer session. His answer opened the door without naming a single new act.
One name did get a verdict, and it went the other way. Liam ruled out DMA’s in the same exchange: “They have not made the list I’m afraid”. The Australian band’s fans can stop campaigning now.
For context, Ashcroft carries the opening slot with serious pedigree. The former Verve frontman holds a full headline catalogue of his own, from Urban Hymns (1997) onward. Promoters list him across all 42 shows, as the Richard Ashcroft support guide sets out.
Live ‘25 shows how the band builds these bills. That run paired Ashcroft with Cast across the UK and Ireland dates. Cage the Elephant, Ball Park Music, Asian Kung-Fu Generation and Otoboke Beaver covered other territories.
The exchange shows how the band runs its news now. Liam answers fans directly, in public, with no press release and no promoter filter. Real announcements land the same way, which is why fans parse his jokes like official statements.
Ashcroft warms the crowd with a catalogue most openers cannot match. He sells out arenas in his own right, including Co-op Live in Manchester and The O2 in London. Fans arrive early for his set rather than treating it as background music.
Meanwhile, a bigger support cast changes the shape of each evening. Extra openers push doors earlier and stretch the running order at every stadium. The Oasis stage times guide will carry each city’s confirmed times once promoters publish them.
Fans naturally fill the silence with their own shortlists. Social media links the band to family projects, Britpop peers and half the guitar bands in Britain. None of those names carries any confirmation, and this page treats them all as noise.
Territory by territory booking also spreads the cost. Local heroes sell the early hours in markets where Ashcroft’s name travels less. Promoters used exactly that logic across the Live ‘25 legs outside Britain.
Stage time maths gives promoters a second reason to add names. Ashcroft plays a full set, and a second opener would push the first note before 7pm at most stadiums. Curfews at venues like Celtic Park leave little slack in the running order.
Promoters gain little by naming the whole cast at once. A later announcement would put a sold out tour back on front pages for free. Fans should expect the news in stages, with each leg gaining its own local names.
That said, Liam’s wording deserves a close read. “Quite a few more” points to several acts, not one extra opener. A cast that size suggests different supports for different legs, mirroring the Live ‘25 pattern.
The Oasis Live ‘27 lineup page lists every confirmed name in one place. It separates the booked acts from the rumour mill, and it updates the moment the band announces the next opener. Until that day, Ashcroft stands alone on the poster.
Practical planning stays simple for now. Ticket holders should assume an early doors time and one confirmed support set. The full Oasis Live ‘27 support acts guide tracks announcements city by city as they land.
