Oasis fans have convinced themselves they know who will be joining Liam and Noel Gallagher during their reunion tour next year – with the band recently confirming they have added two dates to their Wembley Stadium stint.
The brothers – who have not been seen on stage with one another since 2009 – announced their reunion back in August and confirmed shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin in July and August 2025.
The band stated on the official X account: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
Since the reveal, many fans have begun to theorise who will be joining the band as their support act, with many begging to “make it a 90s fest”.
Writing on Reddit, one fan said: “I’m hoping Richard Ashcroft and Ocean Colour Scene. Might as well make it a 90s fest.”
“It’s gotta be Tom Meighan and Richard Ashcroft, right?” a second posted before a third added: “I saw an Instagram post asking who will support the Oasis reunion and people were obviously suggesting Kasabian, Inhaler, Richard Ashcroft, Johnny Marr, etc.

“However a few people did suggest Fontaines, I do think they’re obviously big enough but don’t think they’d meet the audience of being 50-odd-year-olds, thoughts?”
A fourth suggested: “Okay so it’s happening. Who are the support acts? My guess: Richard Ashcroft, Primal Scream, The Courteeners, DMA’s, Blossoms, Charlatans and Ride.”
Alongside their comments, one fan added a fake promo poster with their suggestions for who the supporting acts should be.
Fans were left disappointed with ticket retailer Ticketmaster after it struggled to service the demand and even added “surge prices”, with many revealing they were stuck in a planned “virtual queue” over the weekend.
Some fans reported tickets which were meant to be sold at £148 were up to £355 within hours of going on sale, due to dynamic pricing – a concept which sees prices rising alongside customer demand.
The band today revealed they would be adding two more dates to their tour for those wishing to attend the Wembley Stadium evening, and recently wrote on their official X account: “Two extra Wembley Stadium shows have been added due to phenomenal demand.
“Tickets will be sold by a staggered, invitation-only ballot process. Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many UK fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on-sale with Ticketmaster. More details to follow.”
Fans were quick to comment on the post and not let them forget about the backlash they received over pricing, with one user commenting: “Please tell me whether the face value is 150 pounds or 350 pounds.”

“And you’re gonna ditch dynamic pricing right?” someone else asked before a third added: “Dynamic pricing again???”
Another expressed: “I love that they are adding more dates but surely they should have realised the demand was high when they first announced the tour? They’re one of the biggest bands in the world… come on now.” (sic)
