True Oasis fanatics would identify "The Chef" as Noel's longtime nickname. Liam teased the news even further, saying that Oasis "never set sail without the 1 and only RICARDO he’s our boy from day DOT come aboard Rkid".
Ashcroft is a longtime friend of the Gallagher brothers, who supported The Verve as far back as 1993. Cast also recently opened for Liam on his Definitely, Maybe 30th anniversary tour.
Oasis are set to perform two sold-out Irish shows in Croke Park on August 16th and 17th next year.
An official announcement on the support acts is expected to be unveiled next week. So far, Cage the Elephant has been announced as the support act for the US leg of the reunion tour.
