The Liverpool indie band were announced as the first Oasis support act on the U.K. gigs last year, amid a long connection between the two north west bands.
John said during the set: “it’s good to be here on this momentous occasion.”
Cast firmly have the Oasis seal-of-approval with previously describing frontman John Power as being : "as cosmic as the day is long."
Liam is also a big fan and chose Cast to join his ‘Definitely Maybe’ arena tour this past summer. When Oasis first announced Cast on the line-up they said in a band statement: "You only need to scratch the surface of Cast’s vast discography to see why the Gallagher's are such fans.
"Early, high-energy hits like ‘Alright’ and ‘Finetime’ are sure to fire up audiences from the outset, while anthemic slow-burners such as ‘Sandstorm’ and ‘Walkaway’ are built for the biggest of stages.
"What’s more, their recent album ‘Love Is The Call’ more than matches the standard of their original era with highlights such as the title track, ‘Tomorrow Call My Name’ and ‘Faraway’."
Cast closed their set at 6.25pm with anthem Alright.
’s Richard Ashcroft is due to perform at 7pm at the show, before Oasis are due on at 8.15pm.
