John Power Says Liam and Noel Gallagher Are in a “Wonderful Place” as Cast Supports Oasis

John Power shares insights on Liam and Noel Gallagher’s positive vibe during Oasis’s Live ‘25 tour.

A New Era for Oasis and Cast on the Live ‘25 Tour

John Power, frontman of the Liverpool band Cast—who are supporting Oasis on their massive UK and Ireland Live ‘25 tour—recently opened up about his experience working closely with the Gallagher brothers. Cast is playing the opening set at all 19 dates of this landmark tour, and Power has spoken warmly about the current dynamic between Liam and Noel Gallagher.

Power shared with Vulture that Liam and Noel “seem to be in an absolutely wonderful place.” He emphasized the genuine positive energy surrounding the brothers, noting that both genuinely want to be part of this tour.

“They both genuinely … well, of course they want to be there, but you can feel the positive energy. It’s all going hunky-dory.” – John Power

Liam Gallagher’s Focus and Vocal Form

John Power also highlighted Liam Gallagher’s dedication to the tour. Unlike before, Liam has significantly reduced his social media activity, dedicating himself fully to performing.

“He’s very, very focused at the moment,” Power said. “I know that this tour means a hell of a lot, if not the world, to him. He’s doing everything to make sure that he can go on. The worst thing is if you’re tired because your voice gets knackered and a bit strained. He’s in top form at the moment. Whatever he’s doing, he’s doing the right things because his voice sounds absolutely wonderful.”

Memorable Cardiff Performances and Tributes

At the opening Cardiff show, Cast paid tribute to the late Liverpool star Diogo Jota by dedicating their track Walkaway to him. The set also included fan favorites like Guiding Star and Alright. For a detailed summary of their Cardiff performance, check out the full gig round-up.

Cast’s New Album and Legacy

Last month, Cast announced their new album Yeah Yeah Yeah and released the lead single Poison Vine. The track showcases their classic chiming guitar sound and features guest vocals from veteran soul singer P.P. Arnold, blending nostalgic Britpop energy with soulful vibes.

Looking back to last year, Power expressed his excitement about supporting Oasis, calling the opportunity a “very positive vibe.” He described it as a “stamp of approval from our peers” and a validation of Cast’s journey as a band.

Early Encounters with the Gallagher Brothers

John Power reminisced about his first encounter with Liam Gallagher, recalling how Liam, then just 16 years old, asked him for a cigarette at a Manchester club. Power was transitioning from his time with The La’s and was there to show there were no bad feelings between them.

He also recounted how during the early days of Oasis’s rise, he got to play demos for Liam and Noel backstage at a Liverpool venue. This interaction eventually led to Cast supporting Oasis on tour, a moment that was crucial for Cast’s record deal with Polydor.

Why This Tour Is More Than Just Music

This tour isn’t just a reunion—it's a celebration of Northern Soul and the enduring legacies of some of the UK’s most iconic acts. With Richard Ashcroft also on the bill, the lineup blends powerful voices and timeless sounds from a generation that shaped modern British rock.
