Blossoms have ‘signed on to support Oasis’ on their huge comeback tour next year.
The Indie band will reportedly join the Gallagher brothers as they take to the stage at their Heaton Park gigs in Manchester.
The Stockport group, have three UK No1 albums under their belts and earlier in the year supported Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds when they played a special show at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
‘Noel and Liam and Blossoms have been friends for years and with the band also coming from Manchester, asking them to support Oasis was a no-brainer,’ a source told The Sun.
‘It will be announced in due course but Blossoms have agreed to support Oasis at their Heaton park shows – naturally they jumped at the chance.
Liam and Noel Gallagher have reportedly signed their first support act ahead of their long-awaited worldwide tour in 2025

‘It’s a full circle moment for them as members Tom Ogden and Joe Donovan’s first ever gig was at Oasis at Heaton Park.’
MailOnline has contacted Blossoms and Oasis representatives for comment.
The reports comes after Noel and Liam are set to ‘secretly reunite in the South of France ahead of their reunion tour’, as fans scramble to get tickets.
Liam, 51, jetted off to the French Riviera with his mother Peggy, 81, fianceé Debbie Gwyther, and his rescue dog buttons on Friday, while Noel was seen at his recording studios in north London.
However, sources claimed Noel, 57, will soon be joining them all and their mother is thrilled.
‘Peggy is over the moon that her boys have finally made up after over a decade of not talking,’ a source told The Sun.
‘She has remained close to both and never took sides in their row. The prospect of them all being together on holiday is a dream come true.’
MailOnline has contacted Oasis’ representatives for comment.
The guitarist and brother Liam announced on Tuesday they are set to come together on stage for the first time in 15 years to perform across the UK and Ireland.

The pair are expected to earn a huge £50 million payday from the shows, with the first show set to take place in Cardiff on July 4.
MailOnline has contacted Oasis’ representative for comment.
On the Matt Morgan podcast, he said: ‘I’ll be all over the place on holiday. I’m going to the South of France for a week and then I’m going to Ibiza for a week.
‘Then I’m back in London for a week and then I’m going to Greece for a couple of weeks and then maybe off to LA to see some friends.’
It comes after Noel reportedly ‘caved in and agreed’ to the Oasis reunion during a string of late-night phone calls with brother Liam, during which they ended their 15-year feud.
The sibling’s fractious relationship came to a head in 2009, after a backstage fight in Paris led to Noel leaving the iconic Britpop band.
In recent years, Liam has been keen to make amends with his brother and reform Oasis, but his older brother poured cold water on the idea.

But as Liam closed his set at Reading Festival he teased that an announcement could be made on Tuesday at 8:00am. A short clip of a sign in the style of the Oasis logo was projected on a large screen above the stage and subsequently shared to Oasis and Liam’s official Instagram and X accounts.
It comes as fans were left furious on Friday after resale tickets were being flogged for thousands of pounds just minutes after the first people in the country managed to secure passes for next summer’s UK tour.
The first tickets went on sale at 7pm Friday for the lucky few who managed to get a successful pre-sale code. Millions are expected to fight it out to see the iconic group in a general sale on Saturday.
But others were left outraged as greedy ticket touts immediately set to work reselling tickets at sky-high prices. FanFair Alliance – a group opposing ‘industrial scale’ secondary ticketing – said that they found 80 tickets hoping to make a staggering £200,000 within 20 minutes of the presale.
Some are now being flogged for well over £6,000 each for the gig at London‘s Wembley Stadium. Others, for hospitality clubs, can be found at a stunning £10,578 for two people.
The band have now added their condemnation as they blasted the brazen money-grabbers – saying that the tickets will be canceled by promoters.
Posting on X, they said: ‘We have noticed people attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market since the start of the pre-sale.’
‘Please note, tickets can ONLY be resold, at face value, via Ticketmaster and Twickets.’
‘Tickets sold in breach of the terms and conditions will be canceled by the promoters.’
Oasis have added extra dates to their tour and will now play five shows at Wembley next year

‘This is money being gouged from fans, syphoned away from the UK economy, and washed through the coffers of overseas websites.’
‘This kind of consumer exploitation can only be reigned in by the Government. The only solution is to outlaw resale of tickets for profit.’
Sham accounts also appear to be flogging fake passes, flogging them for as much as £800.
Tickets on Stubhub are being sold for more than £6,300 – while others on Viagogo appear to be up for grabs thousands of pounds.
