According to the bookies, Kasabian is the most likely contender to be opening the highly-anticipated shows.
Experts at William Hill are suggesting odds of 7/4 of the band to support Oasis on any night of their tour.
Spokesperson Lee Phelps told The Sun: ‘News of Oasis’ reunion tour has sent fans into a frenzy of speculation and there’s lots that’s still unknown about next summer’s gigs, including who will be the support acts and the finalised Oasis lineup.
‘Kasabian have always had a strong relationship with Oasis and, at 7/4, we think the Leicester band are likely to support at some point during the tour.’
Kasabian, consisting of Sergio Pizzorno, Chris Edwards, Ian Matthews, and Tim Carter, were formed in Leicester in 1997 and are known for songs Fire and Club Foot.
Back in June, they were one of the surprise bands who took to the stage at Glastonbury Festival.
Another source told the publication: ‘Talks are ongoing with groups like Fontaines DC and Kasabian, as well as Gene Gallagher’s band Villanelle who opened for Liam’s Definitely Maybe tour.’

Speculation was rife Liam and Noel Gallagher would be returning to Worthy Farm in 2025 ahead of their comeback tour.

Oasis is tipped to announce even more dates for their long-awaited reunion tour, which music insiders say will ‘sell out in less than three minutes’.
Industry insiders have also claimed that Bonehead is ‘confirmed’ for the tour and ‘ecstatic’ that the band is back together.
Liam and Noel Gallagher reportedly ‘both wanted him in the fold’ after he was ‘one of the drivers of the reunion’.
Oasis split in 2009 after many years of infighting, with Noel officially leaving the band just before a performance at a festival near Paris, saying at the time he ‘simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer ‘.
