A band of English rock legends have been tipped to be supporting Oasis on their huge UK and Ireland comeback tour.
The Britpop group fronted by Liam and Noel Gallagher spun 90s fans into a frenzy this week when they announced their sensational reunion – and now the question on everyone’s minds is who will be joining them.
And according to the bookies, Kasabian is the most likely contender to be opening the highly-anticipated shows.
Experts at William Hill are suggesting odds of 7/4 of the band to support Oasis on any night of their tour.
Spokesperson Lee Phelps told The Sun: ‘News of Oasis’ reunion tour has sent fans into a frenzy of speculation and there’s lots that’s still unknown about next summer’s gigs, including who will be the support acts and the finalised Oasis lineup.

‘Kasabian have always had a strong relationship with Oasis and, at 7/4, we think the Leicester band are likely to support at some point during the tour.’
Kasabian, consisting of Sergio Pizzorno, Chris Edwards, Ian Matthews, and Tim Carter, were formed in Leicester in 1997 and are known for songs Fire and Club Foot.
Back in June, they were one of the surprise bands who took to the stage at Glastonbury Festival.
Another source told the publication: ‘Talks are ongoing with groups like Fontaines DC and Kasabian, as well as Gene Gallagher’s band Villanelle who opened for Liam’s Definitely Maybe tour.’
The speculation comes just after Oasis broke their silence over rumours they will be playing at Glastonbury next summer to confirm they will not be at the festival.
Speculation was rife Liam and Noel Gallagher would be returning to Worthy Farm in 2025 ahead of their comeback tour.
But in a statement posted on the band’s X account just after lunchtime today, they ruled out appearing at Glastonbury or any other festival.
Oasis said the only way to see the band in 2025 was by attending one of their shows during their world tour.

The statement read: ‘Despite media speculation, Oasis will not be playing Glastonbury 2025 or any other festivals next year.
‘The only way to see the band perform will be on their Oasis Live ’25 World Tour.’
The 14-show tour will run from July 4 to August 17, kicking off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium before the brothers pack out Heaton Park in Manchester, Wembley in London , Murrayfield in Edinburgh and Croke Park in Dublin.
Noel quit the Manchester rock group on August 28 2009, saying he ‘simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer’.
Fans have been pleading with the brothers to regroup since they disbanded, prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Confirming the Oasis Live 25 tour, they said: ‘The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.’
