    Far from naive - I know well Paul was and Is a former “Manc Scallie” as they say, a proper geezer who - let’s face it - missed the boat to a life of rock stardom and has been “on the fringes” since. Tries to cobble a bit of a living out of being “our kid” big brother.

    I know a huge amount about Oasis.

    Paul regardless of his downsides grafted hard for years in a proper job when Noel and Liam wouldn’t bother their holes working.

    There would be huge rows when he got home from work digging gas mains in the freezing cold as he wanted to sit by the fire but Liam wouldn’t allow him, Liam very much a spoiled brat those times.

    Peggy should’ve made them accept Paul into the band early doors but Noel wasn’t having it - said he wasn’t doing another BeeGees …

    Warts and all Paul is a first hand source of what the Gallagher family were like pre fame. He is a fascinating story teller.

    Look him up on YouTube. I don’t believe all his stories but hell yeh I enjoy the way he tells them.

    Similarly I’d be interested in his take on the serious charges against him.

    Always 3 sides to a domestic type allegation. His version, her version and … the truth.

    Yeah, suuuure, "always" 3 sides.

    You're nowhere near as funny as you think you are, in fact your posts are completely lacking in humour. What a weird way to spend time, trying to wind up Oasis fans on Boards with supposed "edgy" views.

    Can't see them changing the support lineup just for Dublin. Both acts are good friends with the Gallaghers with CAST touring themselves in the Autumn and Richard Ashcroft playing a few UK gigs on the back of these support slots. Once Ashcroft starts the Verve tunes it's magical

    Was listening to an Oasis fan podcast and they we're saying wouldn't it be funny if CAST ended up playing support on Richard Ashcrofts UK dates. Overkill at its finest

    Well yea it was announced as Cast/Ashcroft for this leg of the tour ages ago



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,148 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    I know was referring to the comment about it in this post

    I’m not trying to wind up anyone

    Proof of the Liam anecdote

    Apology accepted in advance - don’t look back in anger!

    As you were-LG

    That’s the problem though. It’s all too palsy Walsy and a bit safe. Ashcroft has been off the boil for 20 years at this stage - yesterdays man and boy does he look and sing like it. Noel has been a fan boy of him for many’s a long year - Cast No Shadow and all that - I have a feeling they’ll change up the support for Dublin.

    Cards on table I would take U2 in a heartbeat over Cast (be honest - also rans) and someone like Wolfe Tones and Brian Warfield - spine chilling and proper respectful to the Irish crowd.

    We are not a no mark commuter town in Essex (I’m looking at you Romford) and hell yeah we deserve better support acts.

    U2 as support seems like a reasonable request.

    There is a serious amount of entitled pissing and moaning throughout this thread - be it over the hit packed setlist and the oh but they are not playing my favorite! Now more pissing and moaning over Cast and Ashcroft supporting. Two credible and great bands with huge hits and quality muscians. Lighten up and be glad it isn't Bambi Thug and The Academic supporting!

    Absolute miserable shower of C**ts!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,674 ✭✭✭lee_baby_simms


    I would guess it was part of the list of requirements the brothers had as part of negotiations with the promoter.

    Ashcroft was Brilliant in Manchester, great line up!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 751 ✭✭✭CuriousCucumber


    Wembley was unbelievable last night.

    Can't wait for Croke Park now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 236 ✭✭KawaKris


    Deliberately avoided this thread until now, my heart could not withstand months of anticipation. Ashcroft was great at EP a few years back, loved him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 10,831 ✭✭✭✭893bet


    Not sure there is room for his RA gigs in Ireland this year given he supported PJ and Oasis the last two years.

    He was great in Marlay park I thought.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,096 ✭✭✭skallywag


    Let's call a spade a spade, the support is nice, but who would actually really care is there was no support at all? Not many. I wouldn't.

    You don't even have a ticket, also you're not a real person.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 574 ✭✭✭TenPicnics


    Ah now, how can Beech be a bot, sure doesn’t he spend his time driving local kids to sold-out gigs (Bruce, Taylor, etc) and gets the local GAA club minivan full of kids onto the pitch, right up front, FOR FREE?! Only a real Man can do what Beech does, have sense!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,493 ✭✭✭FullBack Jam


    It's good to have a bit of music throughout the evening. Rather than just arriving in at 8 o'clock for Oasis, and then gone at 11. Pearl Jam gig in Marley had Murder Capital on at about 6 and then R. Ashcroft on from about 7.15 to maybe 8?? Whilst it wasn't mind-blowing, it's nice to have than on in the background whilst having a few drink. Makes it a little more memorable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 786 ✭✭✭RolandGoose


    Seemingly a lot of people..... I paid 600e and no support, absolute rip off! I paid 600e and only flipping Cast and Ashcroft supporting!

    Unfortunately The Beatles weren't available and Oasis don't have enough hours in the day to play every song they and The Rain have written. She always comes up..... Pissing and moaning! Should be the 2025 re-write

    Pfft, your there to see Oasis, who are playing a mega setlist and on fine form by all accounts. The support is a bonus.

    The pissing and moaning is totally unmerited!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,148 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Agreed

    Although the lesser known songs we're meh but once the hits started it was great

    Play it by ear in a few weeks, not sure will I rush in for CAST

    Paul Heaton or Suede would of been great support. Maybe for Knebworth or Slane 2026



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,452 ✭✭✭reubenreuben


    If they didn't sound in good form and sounded a bit rough then would they disappoint people who have paid a small fortune.?

    From videos people have listed online, they sound almost too good and tracks from different venues sound very samey.

    Some artifical assistance maybeeeeee



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,071 ✭✭✭Fanirish


    2026 schedule floating about. Ireland ain’t on it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 119 ✭✭Fatnacho


    Doesn’t look like Slane ‘26 will be happening. Same source was on the ball with all the tour dates and venues for this year.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,148 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Seen those leaks for 2026

    Definitely demand there for another Irish gig or 2. Maybe MCD wont budge of something

    Christ with all those " leaked gigs " Liam will be sounding like a hoarse frog by the time he gets through half of them.

    I know he is managing the voice better in recent years, but when it goes bad, he sounds terrible.

    Once it holds up for the 2 nights in Dublin is the main thing, after that, good luck !
