Blossoms Admit It 'would Be Nice' To Support Oasis

Blossoms admit it was surreal being rumoured to support Oasis on their comeback tour.

The Stockport band have denied being chosen by the Manchester legends to open for them on their 'Oasis Live '25 Tour' - which will see former enemies Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite onstage for the first time since 2009 - but admit it would be a dream gig as they have always looked up to the Britpop group.

Speaking to NME, frontman Tom Ogden said: “Our mantra was instilled into us from Oasis. I grew up listening to them and seeing those songs being sung in the biggest stadiums. That’s what I wanted. Ten years on, to have done Wythenshawe [Park, Manchester], to have opened for The Stone Roses and to have your name brought up within the Oasis stuff, if you’d have told me that when I was 16, I’d have been like, ‘What the f***’. We saw them before we were even a band. I would have never believed you.

“That’s the one I never expected to be possible, but now they’re back together, it’s like, ‘Ooh, that would be nice, wouldn’t it?’"

Following the release of their latest album, 'Gary' - which was released on their own indie label ODD SK Recordings and is on track to be number one - the band feel "bigger than ever".

The 31-year-old singer added: "It’s amazing because we’d left our label without any bad blood or anything like that. We’ve gone on our own, and there was a bit of uncertainty, but it weirdly feels like we’re bigger than we’ve ever been, we’re the most us we’ve ever been, and it feels like a lot of really exciting stuff is happening. It’s what we’re all in it for.”
