Richard Ashcroft set list for Oasis shows at Wembley

Yahoo4 days ago
Oasis are reviving the Britpop era with shows at Wembley this weekend — and there couldn't be a more fitting support act than Richard Ashcroft. Having broken into the music scene during a similar period, Ashcroft has formed a special bond with the Gallagher brothers after The Verve supported them back in 1993.
Ashcroft isn't the only support act. The second support act are 90s band Cast, led by former La's bassist John Power.
The group, which first appeared on the music scene in 1992 and is well-known for songs like Walkaway, Finetime, and Flying, supported Liam on his Definitely Maybe 30 Years tour last year.
Cast will go on first, before Ashcroft warms up the crowd ready for Oasis's entrance.
Where is Richard Ashcroft from?
Ashcroft was born in 1974 and grew up in Wigan, Lancashire.
The Verve and career as a solo artist
The singer and guitarist is one of the founding members of the Britpop band The Verve. He formed the band with Peter Salisbury in 1990.
After a brief split in 1995 the band came back stronger in 1997, with the release of the hugely successful album, Urban Hymns, which quickly rocketed to fame with the album's lead single Bitter Sweet Symphony.
In 2000, Ashcroft went solo and released single A Song For The Lovers. The song peaked at number three in the UK chart.
What time is Richard Ashcroft on stage at Wembley?
Ashcroft is anticipated to get on the Wembley stage at 7pm, with a set lasting approximately 45 minutes.
Gates will open at 5pm for all of Oasis' shows at Wembley Stadium. The first support act Cast is set to come on at 6pm. After Ashcroft's set, Oasis will take the stage at 8:15pm.
Richard Ashcroft set list supporting Oasis
The set list for the Wembley shows hasn't been confirmed, but judging from the songs he played at Manchester's Heaton Park and in Cardiff, the following is probably what fans can expect to hear:
Sonnet
Space and Time
A Song for the Lovers
Break the Night With Colour
The Drugs Don't Work
Lucky Man
Bitter Sweet Symphony

Tom Cruise Attends Oasis Concert Despite Gallagher Brothers Once Claiming They ‘Hate' the ‘Little F–ker'

Tom Cruise doesn't look back in anger. Despite Liam and Noel Gallagher dissing him once years ago, the actor recently attended one of Oasis' reunion concerts in London. As captured in an Instagram photo posted by Goldie on Saturday (July 26), Cruise joined the British music producer in the stands at Wembley Stadium for Oasis' first of five performances this month at the famed venue. In the snap, the Top Gun star smiles excitedly and holds up a 'hang loose' hand symbol while posing next to Goldie at Friday's (July 25) show.

The outing comes nearly two decades after the Oasis siblings made their dislike of Cruise very clear in 2007 documentary Lord Don't Slow Me Down. In a clip from the tour film, Noel says frankly, 'He's a little f–ker, and he's not been in one good film in his entire career.' Liam replied at the time, 'I hate Tom Cruise,' calling the actor a 'bastard.' Even so, Cruise was one of thousands of Oasis fans who couldn't resist coming out to see the band's first tour in years. The Gallagher siblings had nurtured a bitter sibling feud for about 16 years until August of last year, when they announced that they'd be hitting the road together once again. 'The guns have fallen silent,' Oasis wrote in a statement at the time. 'The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.' Months later, the group's Live '25 Tour kicked off July 4 in Cardiff, Wales. Following stops in Manchester, England, and now in London, the bandmates will spend the next four months touring through Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and Latin America — meaning Cruise and other fans will have plenty more opportunities to see Oasis live this year.

I saw Oasis on their reunion tour. Drinks were expensive, merch was extortionate — but the experience was priceless.

I set myself up for disappointment on Friday. Sitting in a packed-out tube carriage heading to London's Wembley Stadium, I had high expectations for the night ahead. The sun was out, the drinks had been flowing, and more importantly, Oasis was back. But as a lifelong sports fan who's experienced one too many heartbreaks, I've learned to be a little suspicious when things seem "too good." I need not have worried, however. It had been 16 years since brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher infamously split following a spat ahead of a scheduled set in Paris — and the occasion was lost on no one. The band was on ferociously good form right from the raucous openers "Hello" and "Acquiesce" through to the epic climax of "Champagne Supernova." There was no time for " kiss cams" here. The 90,000-strong crowd locked onto every word as the group rolled off many of its most iconic numbers and paid tribute to the late, great Ozzy Osbourne. A year ago, however, some of the initial buzz over Oasis' unexpected comeback announcement was dampened slightly by controversy over the alleged use of surge ticket pricing, which companies selling products online sometimes use to increase prices as market demand rises. Many Oasis fans had to queue for hours to secure tickets through Ticketmaster and saw the cost of some tickets shoot from £135, or about $181, to more than £350, which is around $470. I got off lightly, paying £150. Ticketmaster has denied using a "dynamic pricing" model. Andrew Parsons, managing director at Ticketmaster UK, told MPs earlier this year that the platform does not change prices in "any automated or algorithmic way," adding that they are set in advance with "event organisers and their teams." Other fans faced the prospect of skyrocketing prices on secondary sites. One London-based fan who missed out on tickets on Ticketmaster told Business Insider at the time that he'd seen tickets listed for as much as £6,347 on one secondary site. Friday night's concert was also anything but cheap. A pint of beer broke the dreaded £8 barrier. T-shirts emblazoned with the brothers' faces or the band's logo were going for £40, while anything from the Adidas Originals x Oasis collection cost considerably more — I spied one "football shirt" selling for £85. Oasis is set to play seven shows at Wembley this year. The Live '25 Tour will also see the group perform at venues across North America, including Chicago's Soldier Field, the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and the Rogers Stadium in Toronto. For those lucky enough to have gotten tickets to Friday's show, any lingering bitterness over pricing seemed to have evaporated completely by the time the band stepped off stage. It wasn't just the chance of seeing two of rock and roll's most charismatic characters back together — it was a few hours of unfiltered joy and camaraderie that one should not take for granted these days. If you asked me now how much I'd have paid to go to the concert, I'd struggle to put a number on it. It's an experience that feels impossible to quantify but that will certainly live forever.

Live Forever: An Oasis Superfan Goes All-In on Noel, Liam, Britpop, Nostalgia, and the Almighty Reunion Tour

First, a confession: I'm kind of scared of Oasis fans. There, I've said it. I—along with, apparently, Dua Lipa, Alexa Chung, Tom Cruise, and 90,000 others—was on my way to Wembley Stadium for the triumphant return of my favorite band, a date I'd had circled on my calendar since August 31, 2024, after my Oasis friends and I spent a sleepless night as keyboard jockeys trying and failing to get tickets ('I'm 11,361st in the queue!'), only to find out the next day that a mysterious friend in the UK had bought a pair for me as a gift. I've seen virtually every American tour that Oasis ever did, sometimes traveling to multiple cities; I've interviewed Noel twice and Liam three times over three decades; I'm close enough to the band to have texted Liam's girlfriend and manager, Debbie, whom I've also met, back in August, when their long-dreamed-of reunion tour was finally announced, to ask about an interview with Liam (but, alas, not close enough to get that interview—neither Liam nor Noel are chatting much about being back together again). When my children were very young, I lay them down in bed only after whispering 'live forever' in their ears. I mean, a friend of mine gave birth to Liam's child and, after a paternity test, sued him over child-support payments, yet I've seen more of Liam than I have of her since then. I don't really think my support of the band could ever be questioned. But those fans. And by that, what I really mean is English fans. There's some small baggage here: While I'd never seen Oasis perform outside of the States, I was, technically, at their final gig at Wembley Stadium, on July 12, 2009. I was living in New York and had accepted a somewhat scurrilous assignment to cover the launch of the new Jaguar XJ at the Saatchi Gallery in London, knowing that Oasis was playing Wembley that night. After flying over and then making sure that any relevant parties at the launch saw my face, I snuck out of the Jaguar party early and hopped a black cab to Wembley, where Oasis management had a ticket waiting for me at will-call. I knew I'd miss much of the concert just because of bad timing, but I didn't care: The notion of seeing them in their native habitat, even for a handful of songs, was the Holy Grail. Finally arriving at Wembley, I found the surrounding area eerily quiet and empty; everyone, of course, was inside. I sprinted the quarter-mile or so from taxi dropoff to will-call, finally arriving there heaving, doubled-over—and to find the ticket office shuttered. Frantic calls to Oasis management inside the stadium (they could barely hear me) did nothing to alleviate the problem, and so I spent the remainder of the gig on the terrace outside the stadium walls, hearing only a muffled approximation of what was going on within. At first, when I saw various people leaving early (drunk, disorderly), I had the brilliant (idiotic) idea to try to sneak in behind them. When I was stopped by the same security guard three times, I ceased this nonsense forthwith and spent the remainder of my night at Wembley sitting on a concrete bench, cursing my fate, with what I most enjoyed contented least. I was 43 years old—a supposed adult—on the verge of tears because I was missing my favorite band.
