Ashcroft has previously supported his friend on his date at London's Finsbury Park, surprising fans with a secret acoustic set.
Watch him play The Drugs Don't Work at the event:
Grime rapper slowthai was due to open for the former Oasis frontman on the UK leg of his tour this year, but will no longer be taking up the coveted slot.
Taking to Twitter, last month Gallagher revealed: "Listen up all you boppers out there in the big city all you street people with an ear for the action slowthai has pulled out of the UK Tour Gutted I still love ya homeboy good luck in the USA LG x"
Since then, fans have been suggesting The Drugs Don't Work legend take the young rapper's place, as well as Aussie outfit DMA's.
