Blossoms have discussed the possibility of supporting Oasis on tour in 2025.

Ahead of the Britpop band were reuniting, the Stockport five-piece - comprised of Tom Ogden, Charlie Salt, Josh Dewhurst, Joe Donovan and Myles Kellock - played a teaser with the announcement date on the screens at their Wythenshawe Park gig, leading many to speculate they'll be among the special guests at the shows next year.

However frontman Tom Ogden has denied the news, saying "nothing has been discussed," though he admits it "would be nice" to get the honour.

The Gary singer told NME. “Nothing has been discussed, nothing has been asked; I don’t think they’ll sort it out until next year. It’s sold out. They don’t need to announce the supports. I’d like to think our name might be in the mix because why not? We’ve never shied away from saying how much they’ve influenced us. We went to watch them at Heaton Park when we were 16, and we kind of know them both. I’m not going to get my hopes up, though, because, at the end of the day, it’s up to them. If we get asked, the bags are packed, and we’d smash it.”

Odgen also opened up about the teaser appearing ahead of their homecoming show the same week and revealed it was such a well-kept secret they didn't even know what the teaser was until it was unveiled on stage.

"It was the best-kept secret in the music industry," he recalled. "We were playing at Wythenshawe Park on Sunday, and on Saturday night, the reunion article breaks. We’re all like, ‘This has got to be bulls*** again’, but it felt a bit more legit. The next day, going to the gig, our manager calls us saying we need to show a video on the screens after the set because they’re showing it at Reading & Leeds. I’m like, ‘Is it Oasis?’ and he says, ‘I can’t tell you’. When we came offstage, we ran around to the front to see the video!"

Speaking about the residency, Blossoms said: "We wanted to do something special with the Manchester shows for this run of gigs. We played each one of these venues on our way up, so it’s great after our Wythenshawe Park show to go and do these venues and remember where everything started for us. It’s a love letter of shows to the city! We can’t wait x."
