Oasis has officially announced their highly anticipated reunion tour, set to take place in Australia this October, with shows at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on October 31, November 1, and November 4, followed by performances at Accor Stadium in Sydney on November 7 and 8.

The Brisbane indie band Ball Park Music has been selected as the support act for Oasis during their Australian stadium tour, marking a significant achievement for the band.

Despite missing out on major international acts like Taylor Swift for local tours, Ball Park Music's role as a supporting act is seen as a notable success.

There was strong competition for the support slot, with Sydney's DMA'S considered favorites due to their previous collaboration with Liam Gallagher.

Ball Park Music expressed their excitement about the opportunity on Instagram, describing it as a dream come true.

Concert promoter Michael Coppel confirmed that while Oasis had the option to perform in more Australian cities, they chose to limit their tour to Melbourne and Sydney due to scheduling constraints.

The October 31 and November 1 shows in Melbourne are already sold out, with limited tickets remaining for the November 4 show.

Industry reactions have highlighted disappointment over international artists not supporting local talent, as seen with recent tours by artists like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish.

The Australian music industry has been advocating for local artists to be included as support acts for international tours, as financial pressures affect venues and festivals.

This push for local talent is underscored by success stories like Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, who gained significant exposure from performing at Pearl Jam concerts.

Oasis, who reformed in 2024 after a breakup in 2009, achieved global fame in the 1990s with their iconic albums, including 'Definitely Maybe' and '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?,' featuring hits like 'Wonderwall'.

The campaign for more local support acts aims to restore the tradition of Australian artists opening for international stars, which has diminished in recent years.
