The Oasis reunion is officially on, with a British tour next year including three dates at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9 and 12.
It will be the 43rd, 44th and 45th time that the Manchester band have played Scotland, starting with a tiny gig at King Tut’s in Glasgow when they were famously ‘discovered’ by manager Alan McGee.
Of course it won’t just be Oasis, with two or three support bands also likely to perform on the night.
And Oasis have a pretty good track record when it comes to choosing the acts who open for them - the list of previous supports read like a who’s who of music - from Supergrass, The Happy Mondays, The Verve and Manic Street Preachers, to The Coral, The Foo Fighters, Travis and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
Nothing has yet been announced for their big UK reunion tour, but there will likely be some familiar names on the bill.
So, who will be opening for the band at their two huge Murrayfield gigs? We have some ideas.

13. The Chemical Brothers
Yet another Knebworth band, The Chemical Brothers were at the height of their popularity at the same time as Oasis - starting out in Manchester in 1992 when the Gallaghers were plotting world dominated. Noel even contributed vocals to their number one hit song 'Setting Sun'. Maybe Noel could pop onstage to perform it before returning with his band later in the evening. | AFP via Getty Images
