Oscar Borland features in the official programme for the rock and roll band, who recently returned to the stage for the first time in 16 years.
The Gallagher brothers are playing to sold-out arenas across the globe and the four-year-old will feature in the pamphlet at all gigs.

He said: "I have been a huge Oasis fan ever since I can remember. From 1996 onwards I was hooked.
"As I have gotten older, and during the time period when the band had broken up, I have been really into collecting Oasis memorabilia.
"As a result of this obsession, I got to know Brian Cannon, who designed a lot of things for the band at their peak, such as album covers.
"We became good friends after I started going to his shop Mircobot Boutique, down south in Kendal, which sells merchandise from the band and other groups."

Despite his age, Raymond says his son realises something exciting is happening.
He also opened up on the meaning behind Oscar's picture in the programme.
Raymound continued: "Brian knew there would not be any new music on this tour and wanted to design the programme like an album cover, with 20 pages to fill.
"The idea he came up with was to base the pictures in the programme around B-side songs that some fans think should have been singles.
"I jokingly said about getting Oscar involved and amazingly it ended up happening.
"Oasis have a song called Fade Away and the lyrics Brian referred to were 'The dreams we have as children fade away.'
"Oscar was photographed on a football pitch in Erskine, throwing the Definitely Maybe Globe in the air and a flight case with Oasis on it beside him, the idea being he was dreaming of being in the band.
"Noel Gallagher had the final say and he signed it off."

Oasis will play three gigs at Murrayfield next month and Raymond, who will be attending two of the concerts with friends, and family, can't wait to see the programme in person.
He added: "The family are all so proud of Oscar and he was brilliant throughout the shoot.
"I didn't want to see the finished product until it was confirmed Oscar would be in the programme.
"I am really happy with how it turned out and can't wait to buy it at the gigs."
