Oasis setlist in full as Edinburgh Murrayfield reunion tour countdown on
Edinburgh's Murrayfield will welcome thousands of Oasis fans next month The countdown is well and truly on until Oasis take to Murrayfield for three nights as part of their comeback tour after a 16-year hiatus. The Gallagher brothers and their iconic band are heading to Edinburgh in less than two weeks to delight fans at three sold out shows. Tickets were like gold dust to get and we're sure it'll be parka jackets and bucket hats galore. Earlier this month, the pair kicked off their string of sold-out reunion shows at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, before they headed to Manchester and London ahead of the Edinburgh and Dublin dates on their UK and Ireland leg of the show. Many fans want to know if the setlist has been the same for the whole tour or if it's likely to change, and it seems there's no surprises as the order so far for Cardiff, Manchester and London has all been the same. Here's the full setlist from the gigs so far: Hello Acquiesce Morning Glory Some Might Say Bring it on down Cigarettes & Alcohol Fade Away Supersonic Roll With It Talk Tonight Half the World Away Little by Little D'You Know What I Mean Stand By Me Cast No Shadow Slide Away Whatever Live Forever Rock and Roll Star Encore happens and then the show wraps up with these songs: The Masterplan Don't Look Back in Anger Wonderwall Champagne Supernova Oasis are set to play a total of 23 songs over the three evenings in Edinburgh. Noel and Liam have saved their most popular songs for last up until now, ending the stellar evening with Wonderwall into Champagne Supernova - the close track of the band's second album. For their UK and Ireland, the supporting acts are The Verve's Richard Ashcroft and Liverpool band Cast. Both have history with Oasis, with Britpop band Cast having supported the brothers previously back in 1996 at Knebworth. Richard Ashcroft has also been involved in a collab with Liam Gallagher on stage in recent years. Fans have been promised to be transported back to the 90s with Ashcroft taking to the stage. The singer was announced as the official support act for the UK and Ireland dates last year. Cast were formed with frontman John Powers after his split from The La's, with many likely to recognise him from supporting Oasis in the 90s. After their Edinburgh shows, Oasis will head to Dublin for two dates. The first leg of their UK tour will wrap up at the city's Croke Park on August 17. From there, Oasis will head across the Atlantic for shows in Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles and Mexico City, before returning to London for two additional Wembley dates at the end of September. The tour then continues through Asia, Australia and South America, with the final show set for November 23 in São Paulo, Brazil.

Richard Ashcroft announces huge tour update after 'nearly outshining Oasis'
Liam Gallagher said it was never a question that Richard Ashcroft would be joining them on tour after their shared history After embarking upon the biggest stadium tour of the year as special guest to Oasis, and selling out Manchester's Co-op Live, Richard Ashcroft today announces additional UK dates due to overwhelming demand. Richard will perform at arenas in Cardiff, Liverpool, London and Leeds in Spring 2026, with tickets on sale at 9.30am on Friday 1st August. The announcement follows the news of the October 3rd release date of his brand new album Lovin' You - his first all-new album since 2018's Natural Rebel and follows 2021's Acoustic Hymns, Vol. 1. Speaking on Radio 2 earlier this month Richard Ashcroft said: 'The album's due in September, just after I finish the dates with Oasis. That'll be coming out in September, and yeah, happy days, we'll see how it goes. I'm buzzing that I'm still here. I'm still making music, people pay me to make music, people pay me to sing live. It's like I can't complain.' Ashcroft has won huge praise from fans after being picked to join Oasis on their huge sell-out Live 25 tour. Speaking after seeing the band play at Wembley Stadium, David Baddiel said the former Verve frontman gave the Gallaghers a run for their money when it came to entertaining the crowd. Noel has even been spotted watching Ashcroft's sets before walking on stage himself. "Oasis were great tonight. But they were nearly outshone by their support, Richard Ashcroft, in incredible voice: still the Scott Walker of Britpop," Baddiel posted to X. "Don't think Richard has ever done a bad show," replied one of his followers. "Magnificent," agreed another, while a third said: "It's the absolute dream lineup. Chris Martin said Richard Ashcroft had the best voice going around. Richard Ashcroft and Oasis playing in 2025. It's what the world needs some GOOD THINGS! I can't wait to see them in Australia. Magic. How special to be at Wembley. Brilliant." Responding to Baddiel's video of Ashcroft singing The Drug's Don't Work, another X user replied: "This was a real moment in Manchester too. Something about that song still felt fresh / in the room as it were. The Oasis tunes being great, but definitely a stronger nostalgic tinge to them." Richard Ashcroft and Oasis share a mutual admiration which dates back to touring together before Oasis first broke through. Richard is performing as special guest on all of their UK shows alongside band Cast.
