Platinum-Selling Britpop Stars Heads to Kelso
Live Borders Arts & Creativity have announced that Cast’s John Power is coming to the region as part of his spoken word tour next spring.
He’ll go back on the road with his Cast, The La’s and Me tour – undoubtedly with some extra stories from this summer, when Cast supports Oasis in their return to stadium rock. The tour starts in March 2026 taking in theatres across England and Wales before coming to Kelso Tait Hall on 25 April.
John had the best rock’n’roll apprenticeship ever – playing bass as an 18-year-old in The La’s. Forming Cast in 1991, he sang, wrote songs, and played guitar for one of Britpop’s pre-eminent bands–securing two platinum-selling records before returning to the charts in 2024 with the magnificent Love Is The Call.
John’s solo career produced some of his best work and through this summer, Cast will join Oasis at their sell-out football stadium tour.
He said: “I had an absolute belter of a time on the road and can’t wait to go at it again; I am pretty sure I’ll have some great stories from the summer ahead, as well as plenty of other from my career until now. See you there!”
After a very busy 2025, spring will once again, give John time to reflect on Britpop, the hits – Alright, Sandstorm, Walkaway, Flying and more – in this intimate show that mixes his best-loved songs with wild, funny, and tender stories.
