Richard Ashcroft says 'all new fans welcome' after Oasis gig-goer Shazams The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony
The former frontman of the Britpop group is among the opening acts on the Oasis Live '25 Tour, and he has reacted to the viral moment someone was seen using the Shazam app to identify the 1997 classic in the crowd.
After night two of the Supersonic group's first tour in 16 years at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 5, Ashcroft penned on Instagram: "Day 2 thanks to everyone who came down and gave such beautiful support for my set. If you don't know it Shazam it, all new fans welcome! Love to LG for Cast No Shadow, what a tune! We move on Manchester. Are you ready? Music is Power RA."
The 53-year-old musician said when his support slot was confirmed last year: "As a fan from day one I was buzzing for many reasons when the news of Oasis' return was announced.
"I can say with no exaggeration that the songwriting talent of Noel and Liam's pure spirit as a lead singer helped to inspire me to create some of my best work.
"It was the perfection of Live Forever that forced me to try and write my own. They dared to be great, made the dreams we had real and I will always remember those days with joy.
"Now it's time to create more memories and I'm ready to bring it. See you next summer. Music is power."
Meanwhile, Ashcroft is set to release a brand new solo album, Lovin' You, on October 3.
It will be his first LP of all new material since 2018's Natural Rebel.
The Lovin' You album opens with its recently released first single Lover, which interpolates Joan Armatrading's 1976 song Love And Affection.
The single sets the standard for a record that finds Ashcroft at the height of his powers. The album spans the many facets of his sound, from his classic string-soaked acoustic balladry and anthemic indie-rock – through to flashes of Americana, soul and glitch electro beats.
Its themes are intimate and personal, dominated by love, romance and affecting messages of support for those struggling with life's challenges.

No kiss cam at Oasis shows? Why that might not matter for Toronto fans having an affair
After a viral video exposed an apparent affair between an American tech CEO and the company's head of human resources, spectators may have privacy concerns when attending concerts or sporting events. But you might not encounter a kiss cam at an Oasis concert, according to frontman Liam Gallagher. According to a recent report in People Magazine , the English rock band isn't a fan of the kiss cam. Reporting on a July 20 concert in Manchester, U.K., people noted Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher told audience members not to worry. At the Manchester show, Gallagher announced: 'Do we have any lovebirds in the house? Don't worry, we ain't got any of that Coldplay, snidey f———camera s—-. It doesn't matter to us who you're f——— mingling with … None of our f——— business.' Oasis is scheduled to play two shows at Toronto's Rogers Stadium Aug. 24 and 25. Part of the band's 'Oasis Live '25' reunion tour, the Toronto shows are the only Canadian dates on the tour's North American leg. Both shows are sold out, according to Ticketmaster . Metroland reached out to Live Nation for a statement on whether the Toronto shows might feature a kiss cam. We will update this article when we receive a response. Last week, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company's head of human resources Kristin Cabot were caught in an apparent affair during a Coldplay concert in the Boston, Mass. area. A kiss cam video showing the pair engaged in an awkward embrace went viral on social media, garnering millions of views on TikTok. During the video, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin declares, 'Oh, look at these two. Uh-oh. Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' Regardless of whether a concert or sporting event has a kiss cam, privacy in public is seldom guaranteed, especially in a venue of 50,000 people, a Toronto-based family lawyer says. In a recent interview with Metroland, Russell Alexander said there's no expectation of privacy if you're in a large audience with someone other than your spouse. 'You may think you're anonymous because you're among so many people, but everybody's got a cellphone, everybody's recording the concert — who knows,' said Alexander. 'They may be posting it on social media. Even if it wasn't the kiss cam, somebody could have posted the song on social media and they could have been part of that frame. So I think the takeaway is be mindful of privacy when you're in public spaces.' As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met. Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and… Astronomer, a tech firm specializing in open-source and commercial products, released a statement on social media confirming Byron has resigned as CEO. Cabot was placed on leave from her job, according to a report in the New York Post . The newspaper said Cabot appears to be married to Privateer Rum owner Andrew Cabot. In a July 21 update posted to LinkedIn , interim Astronomer CEO Pete DeJoy shared how the company is moving on from the kiss cam incident. On a positive note, DeJoy said more people have heard of Astronomer following the kiss cam video. The company powers data and artificial intelligence strategies, including in-game analytics for sports teams. It also provides solutions for customer support chatbots and AI training for self-driving cars. 'The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies — let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world — ever encounter. The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name,' DeJoy noted. DeJoy added Astronomer has never shied away from a challenge. 'We're here because Astronomer is built by people who live to solve hard problems, stay late to fix what's broken, and care deeply about doing things the right way,' he said. DeJoy thanked company employees for their 'resilience and commitment to building something great' and customers for their trust. 'We won't let you down,' DeJoy added. Error!

Berghaus Has Relaunched 'That' Jacket – the One Made Famous by Liam Gallagher
Oasiskicked off their highly anticipatedLive '25reunion tour earlier this month, 16 years after the Gallagher brothers' public falling-out that led to the band's split. The Britpop band's impact on British culture in the 1990s can't be overstated – they helped define a generation, not just through their music, but with their style, too. From bucket hats to Burberry check and fishtail parkas to buttoned-up polo shirts, Oasis' look became the Britpop uniform: a blend of classic mod style, sartorialized football terraces and Manchester-born attitude that immortalized a moment in British music that reverberated far beyond the UK. Through it all,Berghaus– the British outerwear brand with a German-sounding name – was right there in the mix. In 1997, at an Oasis show in Oslo, Liam Gallagher appeared on-stage wearing a redMerujacket by Berghaus. Liam, the younger Gallagher brother, was already known for having a penchant for long parkas and statement outerwear, but his choice that night – captured in a now-iconic photograph – catapulted the brand into the consciousness of both Oasis fans and the fashion-obsessed. Now, Berghaus is marking the moment by rereleasing theMerujacket in 'the exact colorway Liam wore' as part of theConcert Collection, a limited-edition capsule that also features two other iconic pieces from the Berghaus archive. TheMerujacket, which originally launched in 1994, is being made available in 'Red/Blue' (Liam's choice), 'Purple/Grey' and 'Green/Black'. Berghaus is also resurrecting theTrangojacket, a heavy-duty waterproof jacket from 1986 that it describes as 'specialist powerhouse'. TheTrangofeatures a triple layer of GORE-TEX for maximum protection from wind and water, and comes in choices of 'Red/Blue', 'Red/Grey' and 'Grey/Dark Blue'. Alongside the jackets, the brand is launching the1997 Fleece– a new piece in its range, even if its name suggests otherwise – that it calls a 'staple [with] the DNA of an icon'. The fleece features a boxy cut for elevated coziness, with colors available including 'Red/Blue', 'Red/Grey' and 'Green/Grey'. The fullConcert Collectionis available now via Berghaus'websitewith prices starting at £120 GBP (approx. $162 USD).
