Cast: The Liverpool Band Linked With Oasis Live '27

Cast are the Liverpool band at the centre of the latest unconfirmed Oasis Live ‘27 support rumour.

Next, a recent leak named Cast as a possible support act for the 2027 tour, but no official announcement backs the claim yet.

For fans who know the band only from the Live ‘25 run, this profile sets out who Cast are and what a return would mean.

Who Cast are

Cast formed in Liverpool in 1992, after frontman John Power left The La’s to write his own songs.

In turn, The Sun names the current lineup as Power, Liam Tyson, Keith O’Neill and Jay Lewis.

Power sings and plays guitar, Tyson plays guitar, O’Neill plays drums and Lewis plays bass.

In the mid 1990s, Cast broke through in the Britpop wave, and their debut album All Change became a major seller for Polydor.

The Sun notes that All Change set a record as the biggest selling debut album in the history of the label.

Also, their best known songs from that era include Walkaway, Sandstorm and Free Me.

After the band split in 2001, they reformed in 2010 and have kept playing and recording since then.

Cast and Oasis: a long shared history

Cast and Oasis go back to the early days, since Cast supported Oasis on tour before either band reached its peak.

In turn, that early link matters, because it helps explain why the two bands still fit on the same bill.

Next, the connection grew stronger on the Live ‘25 tour, when Cast joined Richard Ashcroft as support for the UK and Ireland shows.

Next, Ashcroft served as special guest on that run, and Cast played alongside him for the home leg.

Meanwhile, the Live ‘25 shows gave Cast a stadium audience far larger than a headline tour of their own could offer.

For many younger Oasis fans, those shows served as a first introduction to the band.

What John Power has said about 2027

Power has not claimed a Live ‘27 booking, and his recent comments sound cautious rather than confident.

Asked about possible Oasis shows in 2027, Power said there were “a lot of rumours” in circulation.

Then he joked that he hoped he would at least get on the guest list.

That joke hardly sounds like a man with a signed deal, and it cuts against the idea that Cast have already booked the tour.

In contrast, a source quoted by The Sun calls a Cast return likely, since the band already knows the tour setup.

Still, fans should weigh the frontman on the record against an unnamed source, and the frontman carries more weight here.

Why a Cast return looks plausible

First, Cast already proved they can warm up a stadium crowd on the Live ‘25 run.

Also, their songs suit a large outdoor stage, and the home crowds already know the choruses.

Next, the Live ‘25 billing pattern supports a return in principle, since the tour used regional support acts.

Next, Ashcroft played the UK and Ireland leg with Cast, while North America used a different support act.

That pattern leaves room for Cast to return for the UK and Ireland leg of Live ‘27, if Oasis want them back.

Still, a plausible fit is not a booking, and no promoter listing names Cast for any 2027 date yet.

What a Live ‘27 return would mean for fans

A Cast return would give UK and Ireland crowds a familiar warm up act with a strong back catalogue.

In turn, fans who saw Live ‘25 would know what to expect, and new fans would get a short history lesson before the main set.

The lineup picture would still rest on Ashcroft as the confirmed special guest, with Cast as an addition rather than a replacement.

For travel planning, the support question matters only for arrival times, so fans should wait for confirmed billing.

The tour runs for 42 shows from 21 May to 26 September 2027, and it opens in Glasgow.

It covers 11 tour cities and closes with six nights at Knebworth in September.

All 42 shows sold out in the September 2026 ballot, and no general sale took place.

Above all, fans should treat Cast as rumoured support until Oasis or the promoter says otherwise.

Finally, fans still hunting for tickets should use official resale only, at face value, through the Oasis tickets page.
